Welcome to Sunset Elementary SchoolSunset Elementary is a transitional kindergarten through 5th grade school which serves nearly 800 students. In addition to 29 classroom teachers we have 2 science teachers, 2 special day class teachers, and a physical education specialist. Sunset Elementary staff strive to create and maintain a learning environment that enables every student the opportunity to reach their highest potential academically, socially, and behaviorally. We challenge our students with a strong academic program, offering differentiation at all grade levels. Our goal at Sunset is to have all students aim for their highest potential and our motto is “Be Your Best in Every Way”. Parents are an integral part of Sunset, offering their support throughout campus. Our morning running club, garden area, book club and art docent program are run by parent volunteers with remarkable success. Additionally, parents regularly volunteer in their children’s classrooms as well as organize and participate in special school events. Together we make Sunset great! Principal's MessageDear Sunset Families,
Toward the end of each school year, the staff at Sunset begins planning for our next school year. We are committed to building balanced classrooms. Research indicates achievement is higher in classrooms with healthy dynamics; therefore, we seek to build the best possible dynamics in EVERY classroom. Classes are balanced for number of students, gender, academic levels, personality types, student behaviors, and special needs. This is a challenging task. As part of the process, the staff must make recommendations for student placement that best meet the needs of all the students. Although teachers’ styles may vary, each grade level spends significant time collaborating to make sure the same grade level standards are applied and, from class to class, each student receives a comparable education. Teachers, administrators and specialists will follow a systematic process to ensure each child is placed in an appropriate and positive learning environment. Parents often have a preferred teacher and teachers have families with whom they have built relationships with over the years. However, allowing parent requests severely hampers our staff’s ability to create balanced classes. As a result, we have a NO TEACHER REQUEST policy. If you feel your child has a specific need we may not be aware of, please submit a short letter in writing to me explaining the special need or information pertinent to your child’s placement by May 1, 2018. Please DO NOT INCLUDE TEACHER NAME(S) in your letter, as those that do will not be considered. Warmly, Tom Jones, Principal Incoming TK/KNew!
When calling in an absence please use specific reasons to describe why your child will be out such as: sick, vacation, personal or family issue. Announcement
