Week of August 26th
Message from Jennifer
KidsFirst also kicked-off the Annual Giving Campaign last week. You should have received a message in Konstella inviting you to the event. Please note that when 95% of parents in a classroom acknowledge the event, no financial commitment necessary, the class will get a prize!
THIS WEEK IS: A WEEK
Looking for School Site Council and Site Governance Committee Members
We are looking for parents interested in serving on our SSC and SGT Committees. These committees provide feedback regarding budgets, academics, and other programs at Sunset View. Meeting are typically 30 minutes to an hour and meet once per month online. Please submit your parent nominations by completing this Google Form by Friday, September 6th. We will contact the nominees to confirm their acceptance, ask for a short bio, and circulate the ballot.
New before school Spanish provider beginning September 3rd
Sunset View has a new before school program provider for Spanish immersion, World Voices San Diego. By immersing students in the sounds of Spanish from an early age, World Voices enhances children’s ability to listen and understand the language more effectively. The program begins September 3rd 7:55-8:45am and is open to Kinder through 4th grade. Classes are Tuesdays and Wednesdays mornings and sessions span 8 to 9 weeks. (If starting the program after the first day the fee will be pro-rated.) Please call 858-531-3775 to sign-up.
Please bring in a Picture for Our Community Bulletin Board!
Please bring in a picture of your family to add to our community bulletin board! Pictures can be sent to your child's classroom teacher and we will take care of the rest.
Friendly Reminders
Attendance
Please do not send your child to school when they are sick.
When your child must be absent for any reason, please call the office at 858-988-2000 by 9:30 a.m. every day of non-attendance, giving the exact reason for the absence. You can also email sunselm@sandi.net.
Any child arriving after 9:00 a.m. must stop in the office and pick up a tardy slip. Let's set good habits early in the school year to arrive on time.
Parking
We have very limited parking around Sunset View Elementary. The front of the school is now a 3 minute loading zone. Please be kind to our neighbors by keeping their driveways open and free. The staff parking lot is only for staff and we kindly request that you do not enter the lot. We also strongly encourage you to model good habits for your children by using the crosswalks. Running across Hill St. in front of the school and/or having children exit cars in the middle of the street is dangerous. Please pass this important message along to anyone who may be picking up your children (grandparents, child care provider, etc.). Your child's safety is always top priority and never an inconvenience. We appreciate your help.
