Originally founded over 25 years ago, Sunrise School was opened by passionate local educators as an outreach program for students who required alternative and flexible education for a multitude of reasons. Throughout the years, Sunrise has seen many changes in its delivery of services, class sizes and course offerings, not to mention the look and feel of our building. We are so proud of this school, and have realized that many long-standing staff within Grasslands Public Schools have never had the opportunity to visit our school and that the community of Brooks may have limited knowledge about who we are and what we do.

Here is a little glimpse into our space - featuring the amazing bulletin boards created by our wonderful EA, Jodi, with help from our students and staff, as well as a large, collaborative artwork done by a past art class with Mr. Jones.

To our teachers here at Sunrise and throughout Grasslands Regional Division No.6, we thank you for everything you do!

Parents are invited to attend our first School Advisory Council (SAC) meeting on Monday, October 5th from 6:30pm-7:30pm. Meetings will be held the first Monday of each month (unless otherwise scheduled) from 6:30pm-7:30pm.

A school council is a vehicle to support meaningful parental involvement in decisions that affect the school and its operations. School council provides the venue for parents to reflect the wishes of the broader community for the education of its students and to actively participate in giving advice and support to the principal in the operations of the school.
The actual decision-making authority of the school council is limited to:

-determining the school council operating procedures
-setting policies to govern school council activities at the school level, as described in the Education Act
-planning engagement activities that align with school council’s legislated purpose
-choosing to provide advice to the principal and school board

This morning while our students were burning off some energy at Phys. Ed., our staff gathered in the kitchen to cook up pancakes and sausages for everyone. Sunrise School is fortunate to have such a close-knit community. With a staff of 14 and under 50 in-person students we are able to gather together and connect often. Despite the lack of smiles, students do love the hot meals!

Mr. Lachapelle enjoyed seeing our partnership between Grasslands Public Schools and Medicine Hat College in action this week.

Sunrise School offers a variety of programs: in-person learning for students that are referred from other schools within our division, outreach distance learning for flexible academic upgrading and Sunrise Collegiate, a program that allows students to upgrade high school courses, work toward future post-secondary opportunities, or return to school after time away.
