Mission: Sunset will educate and inspire students to thrive in an environment of change.
Message from Hafey
Thank you to the vast majority of our parents that were able to attend P/T Conferences! In addition to the conferences, thank you for filling out the Parent Survey! We had a 189 parents fill this out - giving us very useful information (up from 153 in the Fall)!
Thank you for your support in our Book Fair! Again, the money earned will go directly back into our library that the students of Sunset use daily! The coin drive brought in approximately $1,200 that will also go directly back to our library and books for our teachers!
Lastly, MAPS Testing is complete as of last week! I feel that our students gave their best effort. Sunset teachers are already making real time changes based on the data we have received from MAPS Testing!
Most importantly of all - Thank You for allowing us here at Sunset to teach and enjoy the smiles and laughter your child(ren) bring to us each and every day! It is a pleasure to get your child(ren) each and every day! Thank you for your trust in us! Please remember that if you have any questions, concerns, celebrations, please come in and talk with us!
Have a super month!

Kiss and Go Zone
Need your help in 2 ways:
1. Please remember to pull all the way through to drop your child off - rather than stopping at the start of the Kiss and Go Zone.
2. Have your child get out of the vehicle on the passenger side so cars can pass.
Thank you for your help in keeping our Kiss and Go Zone moving along nicely!
