Dear Twin Hills Families, March 25, 2020
The Sonoma County Office of Education announced today that all school districts will continue to suspend student classes through May 1. This means all field trips and events are also canceled. Your school principal or director is working closely with teachers to plan appropriate and reasonable lessons for your children to complete at home. If you have any questions or concerns please let your teacher or administrator know. This message will be followed by a message from your school director tomorrow.
Please know, the assigned work is recommended for your child to keep up with learning goals. If you have difficulty completing everything offered that is okay. All families and students will be supported to do the best they can under these unusual circumstances. If you need technical support, begin with your child’s teacher. If they cannot help, they will give you the email of the district technology coordinator.
We will do our best to provide you with continued educational opportunities. We wish to stay connected to our students and the teachers are very dedicated to making this happen. Please stay safe.

Enrollment in a charter school is a choice made by parents to participate in the alternative educational approach offered by that charter school. For this reason, it is essential that interested parents become knowledgeable about our approach to education so they can make an informed decision about whether it matches what they want for their child.
Following the open application period, a lottery will be held for each class that has more applicants than available spaces, resulting in a lottery list showing order of enrollment for available spaces. All applicants will be notified by mail the week of March 30th, 2020 with their number on the lottery list.
Those not offered spaces immediately following the lottery will remain on the waiting list and be notified in order if additional spaces open up either before the school year begins or during the school year.
Waiting lists remain in effect for only the year of application.
Note: To be eligible, a child must be a resident of California at the time of application.

Nurturing, Imaginative, From the Heart….
SunRidge is a charter school located in beautiful west Sonoma County, serving over 275 students in kindergarten through 8th grade. We use a Waldorf curriculum and methods to meet children’s needs holistically and at their developmental level.
In our one- and two-year kindergartens, handwork, crafts, baking, gardening, storytelling, puppetry, rhythmic movement, music, nature walks and lots of outdoor play time lay a healthy foundation for each child’s physical, social and academic development.
In the grades, academic subjects are presented artistically, imaginatively, and kinesthetically to engage children emotionally and physically as well as intellectually. Visual, expressive, and practical arts are an integral part of the school day, including painting, drawing, speech and drama, handwork, woodwork, gardening, cooking, singing, instrumental music, and movement.
Enriching field trips, including overnights starting in 4th grade, provide children with real-world learning experiences in areas that complement the curriculum of their grade.
SunRidge is committed to prepare our graduates for success in both public and private high schools without “teaching to the test” or overburdening students’ home lives with too much homework. We believe the best preparation for high school and life is when students learn how to think, problem solve, be creative, and strive to understand and care about the complexity and beauty of human cultures and the natural world.
