Reopening Plan for 2020-21 School Year

UPDATED: 1-28-2021
 

After careful consideration and consultation from the Ohio Department of Health, Sunrise Academy has revised our reopening plan for Hybrid Learning to include an orientation phase for grades Kindergarten to 9th grade. The orientation phase will allow us to get accustomed to Hybrid Learning and ensure all safety measures and the guidelines of the Center for Disease and Prevention (CDC) and the Ohio Department of Health have been successfully put in place and implemented. 

The revised start dates for Hybrid Learning are as follows:

  • K-2nd Grade: Monday, March 1st
  • 3rd-5th Grade: Monday, March 8th 
  • 6th- 9th Grade: Monday, March 15th  
 

As we make the shift to Hybrid Learning, I want to remind you of the following:

  • School doors open at 8:15am and dismissal starts at 3:00pm (See Student and Family handbook for more details).
  • Students will be marked tardy if they arrive at or after 8:30am. 
  • Students who are attending classes from home, must sign into class on-time (Homeroom teachers will share school schedules for those logging in from home). 
  • The school building will be closed every Wednesday for cleaning and sanitizing between Cohorts A & B. 
  • Please refer to the cohort assignments shared in the fall. If you would like to move from Cohort A/B (Hybrid) to Cohort C (eLearning 2.0) or vice versa, please email your request at info@sunriseacademy.net. 
  • ****Latchkey services will NOT be offered due to the pandemic; therefore all students must be picked up on time. 
 

To ensure that your child has a great start to Hybrid Learning, please visit the Sunrise Academy website at www.sunriseacademy.net for important school information and updates or click on the links below.

 

We thank you again for your confidence in Sunrise Academy and we look forward to the continuation of service to you and your children during our Hybrid Learning transition! 

 

Jazak Allah Khayr/Thank you for your continued patience, support, and commitment to Sunrise Academy!

UPDATE: 12-31-2020
 
Due to the unfortunate circumstance of Franklin County still in the red (level 3) health emergency, we will continue with E-Learning 2.0 after winter break. The decision to return to in-person learning will be re-evaluated in March insha’Allah.
UPDATE: 11-18-2020
 
Franklin County is currently experiencing a rapid increase in COVID-19 cases and we are quickly approaching "purple" or a level 4 according to the Ohio Public Health Advisory Alert System. 

Unfortunately, due to staffing concerns and an increase in our staff and student self-quarantine numbers, Sunrise Academy can not continue to implement in-person learning in a safe manner while effectively educating and focusing on the social and emotional well being of our students; therefore, we will be transitioning back to e-Learning 2.0 for grades Kindergarten-2nd and will not move into Hybrid learning as planned for grades 3rd-9th on November 30th and January 5th.
 
The decision to return to in-person learning will be reevaluated and shared prior to the conclusion of the winter break. This decision will be made based on the original Sunrise Academy Reopening plan. According to Sunrise Academy's Reopening Plan, which was put in place with the guidance and recommendations from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as well as the Ohio Department of Health, we are not to transition into Hybrid Learning unless we are at "orange" or a level two. Again, these plans were created in conjunction with the guidelines of the Center for Disease and Prevention (CDC) and the Ohio Department of Health.

UPDATED: 8-15-2020

Under current guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), recommendations from the Ohio Department of Education (ODE) and under guidance from the Governor’s office, Sunrise Academy School Board and Administration will offer E-learning 2.0 for grades Kindergarten – 9th for the first quarter (August 31st - October 29th) and full-time onsite instruction model for preschool. Kindergarten - 9th Grade will transition to Hybrid Learning on Monday, November 2nd. However, Sunrise Academy will be monitoring the Public Health Advisory for possible school closure. The Public Health Advisory System is designed to access the degree of the virus spread which will help us respond and take action. If the Public Health Advisory reports a Level 3 or 4 Public Emergency, Kindergarten - 9th will immediately transition into PLAN # 3 (E-learning 2.0 Model).
