The Sunrise Middle School school board voted last night against having grades 6-8 returning to campus – at least not until after Dec. 31, at which time the issue will be reviewed again.

School board members acknowledged that the fifth grade class on campus is going well, but were concerned about a recent spike in coronavirus numbers, particularly in the school’s 95116 zip code.

Meanwhile, the school will continue to offer a robust online learning program and as many opportunities for social interaction for our students as is safe and possible. These activities include parking lot fun nights, such as the drive through haunted house this Thursday evening, and Thursday afternoon online chat time from 2-2:20 pm.
