Letter from Principal Kircher
Dear Parents and Students,
The staff at Sunset Ranch Elementary School are excited to welcome you to a new school year filled with opportunities to learn and engage! We have sure enjoyed having our Coyotes back on campus this week!
Attending school regularly helps children feel better about school—and themselves. Building this habit at the beginning of the school year has a huge impact on student success. We realize some absences are for health or other reasons. But, when students are absent just 2 or more days a month (or 18 days over the school year) they can fall far behind in what they learn. Excused and unexcused absences both mean missing classroom learning time. Let’s work together to increase attendance rates at our school to ensure all of our students are on the right path for success.
Some Attendance Tips:
Make sure your students keep a regular bedtime and establish a morning routine.
Turn off all electronics including TVs, phones and tablets at bedtime.
Make sure clothes and pack backpacks are ready the night before.
Check with our school nurse or office staff if you are not sure about when to keep your child at home due to illness.
Avoid scheduling vacations or doctor’s appointments when school is in session.
Talk to teachers and counselors for advice if your student feels anxious about going to school.
Request a Short Term Independent Study contract if your child will be absent for 3 or more days, this will allow your child to keep up with their academics while they are away. Additionally, based on completion of work, your child will be considered in attendance.
Develop back up plans for getting to school if something comes up. Call on a family member, neighbor, or another parent to take your student to school.

Please let us know how we can best support you and your children so that they can show up for school on time each and every day.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Kircher
Sunset Ranch Principal
