Principal's Message
Hello Sunset Lake Families,
We had another successful week in both our virtual and in-person classrooms this past week. We thank you for your continued efforts in keeping your child home when they are not feeling well and for your communication in regards to any potential exposures we need to be aware of.
We ask if there is anyone in the household who is being tested for COVID-19 to keep your child home until the test results come back. Also, please be sure to go through the student screener questions (see below) each day before you send your child(ren) to school.
Please note that next Friday is our end of semester Record's Day so students do not report to school.
We continue our work on our end of marking period assessments. Please be sure your child has plenty of rest. Consistency with bedtime and morning wake-times help children adjust to the demand of their school day.
As always we continue to encourage all of our families to try and keep safety precautions in mind. Every measure counts and together we can try and minimize the negative impact COVID-19 could have on your child's education.
Please visit this link at State of Michigan Covid for up to date information.
Together we can work to minimize exposure for our students and staff. Thank you!
Thank you Sunset Lake Families!
Yours in Learning,
Amie McCaw
Sunset Lake Elementary Principal
Virtual Learning Updates
VCS Virtual: We still have material pick-up happening through our office. If you are unsure if your child has materials to pick up please check with your child(ren)'s teacher. Please just come to our front door to buzz the front office. We will bring your child's material out to you. The best time for pick up is typically 9-3 pm to help avoid the busy times of drop-off and pick-up times.

A Note from Mrs. Lonsway.....
Mrs. Lonsway, the school counselor, will be running the next Sunset Lake Counseling support group called, " The Crayon Box Group". This small grade level group is about "All Kinds of Families". We share about our unique family situation whether it be a separation, divorce, multiple families living together...or whatever the situation is and express feelings and do small counselor led activities. The flexible start week is January 18th and will last for up to 6 sessions (one time a week for 30 minutes during a teacher preferred time)..You may have already enrolled your child, but if you do not remember or would like to enroll your child, please email her at alonsway@vicksburgschools.org
Thank-you!
