🌞 Helping Our Lions Start Their Day Strong! 🦁
For the safety and well-being of all students, parents and visitors will say goodbye at the gates each morning.
This practice helps us:
🛡️ Maintain a safe and secure campus by monitoring everyone who enters the campus.
🌟 Build student independence and confidence as children learn to begin their day on their own.
💛 Reduce separation anxiety by creating a consistent morning routine that helps students transition smoothly into the classroom.
📚 Ensure a calm, safe, and focused start to learning for all students.
Our staff will be stationed throughout the campus to warmly welcome, assist, and safely guide every child to their designated location.
Please help us with this important transition by encouraging your child to enter campus independently and saying goodbye at the gate. Your support and consistency will help build confidence and make morning arrivals easier for everyone.
Thank you for partnering with us to create a safe, positive, and successful school environment for all of our Sunrise Mountain Lions! 🦁✨

📚🦁 Sunrise Mountain Elementary Families,
The first day of school is Monday, August 3, 2026! 🎉 We can't wait to welcome our Lions back!
⏰ Every day counts! Texas law requires students to attend at least 90% of the school year to receive credit. For elementary students, missing more than 17 days (excused or unexcused, unless state-approved) may impact their ability to receive credit for the school year.
💙 Remember:
✅ Every absence counts toward the 90% requirement.
✅ Good grades alone are not enough if a student misses too much school.
✅ Every minute of learning matters!
📅 See you on Monday, August 3!
🦁 Be Here. Be Ready. Be a Lion!
