Update on Ms. Rees
Last week, Ms Rees was taken to the hospital after a medical episode. She is on the mend. She is back to work part time for a while as she continues to improve and get more tests and hopefully some answers. Thank you for your care and concern on her behalf.
Thank You Military Families
We are saying "Thank You" to our military families and students on Tuesday, April 27, 2021. We ask that students wear purple, red, white, or blue on that day.
We appreciate our military families and the sacrifice and service that they give on our behalf!
Bountiful Food Pantry...
The Bountiful Food pantry will be bringing a truck (or two) to Sunset Elementary on Thursday, April 29, 2021 from 5:30-6:30 p.m. Most of the food will be non-perishable items for you to take. This is available to ALL families so please come and get what your family will use. We will be set up in the south parking lot. This will be first come first served until the food is gone.
Order your yearbook now!
Yearbooks are available for order now. If you order by April 30th, the cost is $13 per book. After that, the cost is $15. Orders can be placed in the office or on-line through your myDSD account. For questions, call the office at 801-402-2550.
Free and Reduced Lunch
As a Title One school, we get federal funding based on the percentage of students we have on free or reduced lunch. We would like to have all families apply for free/reduced lunch so that we get the correct number of eligible students so we maximize our funding.
We also know that school lunch has been free for all students this year, and will continue to be so for next school year. However, we still need you to fill out the paperwork so we can get funding. If you sign up know, you can qualify for the benefit listed below. However, you will need to redo the paperwork in August for the new school year.
We know this is a tedious process but we are here to help if needed.
If you are signed up and eligible now, or apply to be certified by May 10, you can receive food assistance in the way of a debit card (P-EBT) for groceries. Information found below.
Testing
End of year testing will begin on Monday, May 3, 2021 and run through May 20. Please help us out by getting your students to school on time during this time period and keeping them at school for the duration of the day. A good night's rest and a good breakfast will help them to do their best. Please encourage them to try their best and ask them about it when they get home.
Field Day
Field Day will be on Wednesday, June 2, 2021. We will be having Foamtacular coming to create a 40 ft by 40 ft foam area for students to play in. Students will need to wear school appropriate clothing that they can get wet and bring a towel. More information will be sent home as this gets closer.
