Sunset Newsletter
NOVEMBER 2021
From the desk of Dr. McDaniel
November is a time for GIVING THANKS!! I am THANKFUL to be a part of the SUNSET community of learners!!! We are continuing our FOCUS on LEARNING throughout this month.
Thank you, parents, for supporting us in educating your children! As always, you are their first teacher!
Conscious Discipline
One of the things we emphasize a lot at Sunset is SAFETY! When a child is acting unsafely with their words or actions we say, "that doesn't look safe" or "that doesn't sound safe."
Once the behavior has stopped we say, "My job is to keep it safe, your job is to...
Let your child finish that line. Every Sunset Seahawk should respond, "help keep it safe!"
Try it with your child! You'll be amazed at how well they are grasping the concept of safety.

Attendance Policy
All absences under the EPS attendance policy are considered UNEXCUSED unless they fall under one of the following reasons. These must all have appropriate documentation submitted to the office and put on file in order to be marked as EXCUSED
- Personal Illness with appropriate documentation (Dr's Note)
- Death of an immediate family member

ALL DOCUMENTATION MUST BE SUBMITTED WITH IN A WEEK OF THE ABSENCE IN ORDER TO BE CHANGED IN OUR SYSTEM!
EPS attendance policy also states that 3 tardies or 3 early checkouts is equal to 1 full absence and is counted as such.
We have begun to send out attendance letters beginning at 4 absences to keep you aware of where your student stands with their attendance. These letters follow the EPS attendance policy and are required from the district. The attendance policy is attached. Please take a moment to look it over and familiarize yourself with it. Please click the link below to view the attendance policy.

Coming up in November, we have a PTO meeting on November 17th and will be prepping for the annual Elf on the Shelf Holiday store. If you are new to Sunset, Elf on a Shelf is an opportunity for your student to shop for family and friends in time for the holidays. The shopping price range from a quarter to $15 and include gems such as sparkly butterfly rings, #1 dad keychains, and best grandma notepads. Everything you have ever wanted! :) We will give you plenty of notice to send money with your student or set up an electronic E-Wallet for them to shop.
As always, the PTO welcomes your volunteerism and ideas. Feel free to reach out.
Thank you!
