About
Lent became a SUN Community School in Spring 2004. Today, it serves over 400 students and community members a year. Lent SUN Community School is a collaboration of Multnomah County Department of Human Services, the City of Portland Parks & Recreation, the Portland Public Schools District and IRCO.
SUN stands for Schools Uniting Neighborhoods. SUN Schools help students and communities succeed by opening the building before and after regular school hours. We have expanded school-based services to include academic, enrichment, recreation, art, and health and social services for students, parents and neighborhood residents. Increasing parental and
community involvement in the school is a SUN priority.
Lent SUN School offers activities for students Monday through Friday after school between 3:00 – 5:00 pm. Students are offered supper from 3:00 – 3:15 pm in the cafeteria.
Extended day staff members are responsible for SUN students and their behavior after 3:00 pm. After activities are completed, students are dismissed through the main entrance. All extended day staff walk students out of the classroom and check in with the SUN Site Manager, who takes responsibility until students are picked up by an authorized adult or family member.
