Sunset View Newsletter

We all look forward to seeing you at our Back to School Night event this Thursday. This is an informative night during which you will receive specific details from your children's teachers regarding what to expect this year. You will additionally learn about and have the opportunity to sign-up for the myriad volunteer opportunities available to you in the classroom and around school.

Running Club begins TUESDAY for Kindergarten - 4th graders.

Kindergarten students come to the upper playground beginning at 8:40 and will be directed to run from there.

1st-4th grade students can line-up on the ramp leading to the track starting at 8:40, and will be released to run from there. Students on campus prior to 8:55 are expected to either be eating breakfast in the lunch arbor or participating in running club. Parents are welcome to be on the track to watch or run.

UTK students will spend this week becoming familiar with their track and Running Club procedures during their PE classes this week, and will begin Running Club soon.

Once again, KidsFIrst outfitted all of our UTK and Kindergarten students with Sunset View t-shirts! It was so fun to our youngest students wearing their spirit wear last Friday. I encourage all of our kids to wear their Sunset View logowear on Fridays to show great school spirit. Here is our fabulous Sunset View UTK and Kindergarten Team showing off this year's look.

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.

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.

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.

Although we love your pets, they are not allowed on campus. Please do not bring pets past the school gates. Please see the district policy below.

Policy Reminder - Animals on Campus

- Animals are permitted at school only when needed for the instructional program and when

under the strict control of qualified instructors or handlers.

-Animals must be obtained from a reliable source and have written certifications that

they are in good health and are not carriers of dangerous disease-causing organisms.

- Hamsters, white rats, black widow spiders, rattlesnakes, and banded psittacine

(parrot-like) birds are too dangerous to have at school.

-Therapy and Service Dogs are allowed with proper certification.

Pets at school: Domestic pets shall not be allowed in classrooms, on or around campus.

We are have openings for Noon Duty Assistants and we need your help! This is a crucial position at the site as it ensures a safe environment for students while eating and playing.
