Family Engagement Guide

Family Engagement Belief Statement

Sun Prairie East High School strives to maintain high expectations and promote academic excellence and social-emotional wellness for all our scholars by creating a “culture of care” climate that nurtures their self-esteem while respecting and valuing the diverse identities and voices. The Sun Prairie East High School community will continuously work to interrupt systemic racism by collaboratively working with scholars, families, and stakeholders to dismantle, rebuild, and align our system for more equitable outcomes for all.

How will teachers communicate with families? Teachers have been instructed to communicate with families via email, and phone call. They have also been instructed to log that information into the PLP tab. These communications expectations were covered during our back-to-school Professional Development.
