CELEBRATION FROM SUNSET ELEMENTARY
Results from the 2016-2017 School Year
Message from Mrs. Hafey...
So, it has been brought to my attention that Sunset Elementary has earned the
Colorado Governor's Distinguished Improvement Award!
YAHOOOO! YIPPEE! Soooooo EXCITED!
The Governor’s Distinguished Improvement Awards are given to schools that demonstrate exceptional student growth. On the school performance framework that is used by the state to evaluate schools, these schools "exceed" expectations on the indicator related to longitudinal academic growth and "meet or exceed" expectations on the indicator related to academic growth gaps.
I am so very proud of the students that took the PARCC/CMAS assessment! I am so thankful for our parents trust and support of this assessment! Lasly, I am beyond words of how amazed I am with our staff at Sunset that persevered through working to meet the needs of ALL our students and teaching to the Colorado State Standards at the levels they did!
