Bobcat Pride
Sunset Valley Elementary
May 18, 2016
The Principal's Den
I just learned that many of our families have not been receiving my emails. I do apologize that this has occurred and will be doing my very best to ensure that everyone is kept informed. I believe communication is extremely important and I will continue to reach out to you to keep you in the loop.
SVE PTA Meet & Greet - The official date has been set for Monday, June 6th at 6:00 pm. We will meet in the Basswood Elementary cafeteria. Caroline Salvesen, KISD PTA Council president will be joining us so that we can begin forming our Sunset Valley PTA. Our teachers, office staff and administration will be invited to join us so that you have a chance to say HELLO!
Enrollment - If you are new to our area and wondering about enrollment, please stop by Basswood Elementary School to turn in your registration information. For our returning families, you will receive an email from InfoSnap on August 1st. Mr. Johnson, Principal of Basswood has sent home an information sheet to you asking you to indicate if you are returning and to check that you are joining us at Sunset Valley. If you haven't seen this in your child's backpack or folder, please give Basswood a call and they would be happy to send another copy home. Once school is out and I find out where I will be working from (since our campus won't be quite ready yet), I will let you know.
Staffing - Assistant Principal, Anna Michaels and I have been busy interviewing these last few weeks. The next interviews that we are setting up will be for 2nd, 5th & 6th grade and for our librarian, theater & IST positions.
Bobcat Proud,
Kristen Eriksen, Principal
