Happy December!
We have just a few weeks before Winter Break and we have so much to do here at Sunset! Your students have been working so hard and we appreciate your continued work with them at home by completing the at home reading and practicing essential skills!
The key to learning at school is being present! We are seeing a huge spike in student absences that is very concerning. Please make sure your child (children) are at school EVERY DAY! We can't teach them if they are not here! School starts at 8:50 and we have a very important routine that begins first thing in the morning! It is so important for your child to be a part of that in their classrooms. It is equally as important for them to NOT be picked up early. We are working right up until the end of the day! We need every minute.
A part of our School Report Card grade is Chronic Absenteeism. If your child misses more than 10 days of school throughout the school year, they are considered "Chronically Absent" and the school loses points for each child who falls in that category. All students in grades Kindergarten to 5th grade are reported for chronic absenteeism.
Thank you for helping with this important issue!
