Welcome to Sunridge Middle School – Home of the Broncs

Dear Parents/Guardians and Students of Sunridge Middle School:

 Welcome to a new school year at Sunridge Middle School. The administration, teachers, and staff are looking forward to working with you as we continue to educate the whole child. At Sunridge, we challenge each of our students to reach their full potential with our quality instructional programs. We hope to continue the positive relationship we have established with our parents and the community.

If you have any questions, please contact the school at 541-276-4560 or visit https://sms.pendleton.k12.or.us/

For our students’ safety, always check in at the main office anytime you visit Sunridge. 

Prior to the first day of school, we will have a 6th grade orientation on Monday, August 26th. Buses will be available to take students to and from school for this event but you may also drop off and pick up your student. Students will participate in fun activities to get to know their teachers and classmates, tour the school, and receive their PE uniform and PE locker. A free school lunch will be provided but students may also bring their own lunch.

The first day of school is Tuesday, August 27, 2024. You can find the district school year calendar at https://sms.pendleton.k12.or.us/online-calendar/

Our School Hours Have Changed

Our school hours are:

  • 8:35-3:15 Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. 
  • 9:35 Monday – is our late start day for teachers to collaborate and plan for instruction

The school building is open at 8:15 Tuesday – Friday and 9:15 on Mondays.  Breakfast is available from the school cafeteria from 8:15-8:30. At 8:35, the first bell rings, and students should be in their first-period class. 

Important Upcoming Dates:

  • SMS Registration – Thursday August 15th 
  • 7:30-1:00 and 2:00-7:00
  • 6th grade Orientation Day – Monday August 26th 8:45 -1:45
  • Picture Day – Wednesday September 4th
  • Round-Up – No School – Monday September 9th – Friday September 13th
  • SMS Open House – Wednesday September 18th from 5:00-7:00 
  • Statewide Teacher In-service Day – No School – Friday October 13th

Attendance Matters

  • Students who miss even 2 days of school a month are considered chronically absent.
  • By 6th grade, absenteeism is one of three signs that a student may drop out of high school.
  • Please help to make school attendance a priority by:
    • Talk about the importance of showing up to school every day.
    • Help your children maintain daily routines, such as finishing homework and getting a good night’s sleep.

View Your Student’s Academic Performance via Synergy

You can look at your student’s assignments and test grades online. Sunridge families use Synergy to stay informed about their student’s progress in their course work. Parents/guardians can access Synergy by following this link:https://student-pendleton.cascadetech.org/pendleton/PXP2_Login_Parent.aspx?regenerateSessionId=true. If you are new to our school, you do not need to create a new account as the Synergy Parent Portal accounts transfer from one school to another as your child matriculates.
