"YOU ARE ALL WONDERFUL!!"

“This is the first year where I didn’t have anxiety about buses the night before the first day and where I actually spent the whole day concentrating on other needs - it’s amazing what an impact Sunrise has had! You are all wonderful!!!!”

-Anne Bowers, Ed. D.
Director of Special Education, Woodridge School District

Part of what makes our district great!

“Sunrise has worked extra hours in the past week/weekend to ensure our Special Education Transition Services department had transportation ready day one to all of our community job sites. Their communication, as well as their assistance in guiding me through this process, has been nothing but professional and service-oriented. Their hard work is certainly a part of what makes our district great! ”

-Lisa Jackson
Special Education Program Admin, Rockford Public Schools

A great start to the school year!

“Thanks for a great start to the school year! I just wanted to say thank you to all of the drivers, bus monitors, mechanics, safety coordinators, office staff, and everyone else who helped make this year start up so smoothly. This was the smoothest start-up in the three years I have been here...and I'm sure next year will be even better. ”
