Sunflowers Academy Parent & Student Resources
At Sunflowers Academy, we value the role of balanced nutrition in supporting students’ academic performance and overall well-being.
Sunflowers Academy emphasizes the role of uniforms in creating a conducive learning environment. Students must adhere to grade-specific uniform requirements, which includes wearing clean, well-fitted uniforms, solid black shoes, and white socks. Extravagant haircuts, unnatural hair colors, and facial hair are not permitted. Girls’ skirts or jumpers must not be more than an inch above the knees. Non-compliance results in demerits. If adherence is not possible due to religious reasons, please notify the administration in writing.
For detailed uniform requirements, pictures, and links to order, please visit our Uniforms page.
At Sunflowers Academy, we ensure our students have all the necessary tools for a productive and engaging school year. Our student supply list is carefully curated for each grade level to ensure students have what they need for their classes. We appreciate your cooperation in preparing your child for the school year ahead.
More detailed information for our preschoolers can be found on our Sunflowers Preschools website.
Equip your kindergartener with essential learning materials such as crayons, glue sticks, markers, notebooks, and more. Remember to include hygiene products like baby wipes and antibacterial gel.
Alongside the necessary writing and coloring tools, first graders will need items like a soft pencil case, manuscript primary notebook, and play money kit.
Our second graders need items including crayons, notebooks, a pencil pouch, and a student dictionary among other items.
As the complexity of projects increases in third grade, students will need items like colored pencils, multi-colored highlighters, and duo tang folders.
In fourth grade, students will continue to need basic supplies, including crayons, notebooks, and pencils. Additionally, they’ll require a student dictionary and index cards.
In fifth grade, students will need to add a few more advanced items to their school supplies, including a protractor, plastic compass, and assorted color tempera paints. A detailed list of what your fifth grader will need for a successful year can be found here.
For our middle school students transitioning into more advanced coursework, we’ve put together a comprehensive list of supplies that will support their academic success and foster organizational skills.
Middle schoolers will need essentials like blue or black ink pens, #2 or mechanical pencils, as well as colored pencils, crayons, and markers for creative assignments. Organization is key at this stage, so two hardback binders, dividers, and duo tang folders are recommended. Special items include a 4GB or more USB for digital work, a clipboard for portable note-taking, and a transparent, wheel-less book bag. Hygiene contributions to the classroom like a large roll of paper towels, a box of Kleenex, and a bottle of anti-bacterial gel are also part of the list. The detailed list for each grade can be found here.
At Sunflowers Academy, we understand the importance of continuous learning and maintaining reading habits even when school is out for the summer. Summer reading helps prevent the “summer slide” and ensures that children continue to develop their reading and comprehension skills. It also provides an excellent opportunity for students to explore new topics, discover new interests, and indulge in the joy of reading.
We have curated a list of age-appropriate books that are not only educational but also entertaining for your child. We encourage parents to take some time to read with their children, fostering a lifelong love of reading.
Summer Reading: Students will choose ONE of the books from their 2024-2025 Grade Level Reading List to read. All Summer Reading Assignments are due on Monday, August 19th , 2024. Students will get an additional grade for completing the book reading assignment.
Summer Math: We have used IXL to reinforce our curriculum and your child will continue to have access to the online program over the summer. With thousands of interactive skills, IXL is a fun way for your child to keep their learning fresh. Your child’s Summer Math Assignment is due on Monday, August 19th, 2024.
