Dear Sunland Families,

We would like to ask for your assistance regarding our campus lost and found. At this time, we have an overwhelming number of sweaters and jackets that have been left behind, and unfortunately, many of them do not have student names, making it difficult for us to return them to their owners.

With the cooler weather continuing, we want to ensure these items make it back home where they belong. To help with this, we will be bringing out all sweaters and jackets beginning next FRIDAY and every Friday moving forward so students and families have an opportunity to look through them.

We kindly ask that parents and guardians remind students to check the lost and found for any missing items and to label their belongings moving forward.

Your support in helping us return these items is greatly appreciated. Thank you for partnering with us to keep our campus organized and to help families avoid replacing items that may already be here.


Thank you,

The Sunland Admin Team
