The foundation of our school behavior policy is that all members of the community follow Three Big Rules: Be safe, Be respectful, Be responsible. Every student, staff member and visitor should be treated with dignity and respect. With compassion, we believe that follow-through with clear, fair and consistent consequences work to restore relationships harmed by misbehavior and are needed to ensure learning empathy and that students embrace their place in our community. Our full Climate & Discipline Policy—including our work with Restorative Practices, our non-discrimination policy, and Balanced Scorecard/Site Plan—is available by request from the office.

To foster a safe, welcoming environment Sunnyside has the following three big rules:
|
We are located on a San Francisco Slow Street.
|
Starting at 9:15am, you can park (legally, please!) and walk your children into school, or drop them off at the drop zone on Hearst Avenue, staffed by parent volunteers and a teacher. It is located on the south side of Hearst Avenue between Foerster and Edna Streets, at the entrance to the schoolyard. Rules for conduct in the drop zone are regularly communicated to parents.
To pick your child up after school, please park and walk to the yard through the gate on Hearst Avenue. Older students (4th and 5th) can sign themselves out if a parent arranges in advance with their teacher. |
Sunnyside is the only elementary school in the district to produce its own literary journal. It consists of art, poetry and prose by Sunnyside students at all grade levels.
Thanks to a grant from the Glen Park Association for the 2023 publication of The Ray, we hope to have our students also experience showcasing their artwork and spoken word in local community spaces for all to enjoy. |

Sunnyside is proud to be recognized as a California Distinguished School by the state's Department of Education (DOE) and a California Business for Education Excellence (CBEE) Honor Roll School.
