Sunset View Newsletter

Our Flag Ceremony last Friday was packed with information! Cleo Martin, Jydee Baron, and Livvy Evans did a fabulous job reminding us of Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind, and introduced us to the next Habit: Put First Things First. They also filled us in on the many upcoming events at Sunset View. Olivia Onorato, Atticus Graham, Luke Haden, Caitlin Smiley, James Belding, and Zane Eriksson were fabulous members of the Color Guard! Our first graders introduced their November Sunset View Cares Project, a Food Drive to help those in need. Please see more details about that below.

Just a reminder that students do not wear costumes to school on Halloween at Sunset View. We have students leave costumes at home so they are ready to go for trick-or-treating time.

THIS WEEK IS: B WEEK

Thank you to all that have helped to improve our parking situation! We are making huge strides towards making drop-off and pick-up safe for all of our students. We could not do it without the help of our community and our amazing parent volunteers! Keep up the good work Sunset View! And please remember, be kind to our volunteers!

1. DO NOT BLOCK DRIVEWAYS. This includes the driveway utilized for trash pick up and cafeteria deliveries. This includes the driveway leading into the staff parking lot. This also includes neighbor's driveways. We have multiple complaints each week and our neighbors should not be inconvenienced because of your decision to block them in. Please stop.

2.DO NOT ENTER OR PARK IN THE TEACHER PARKING LOT DURING MORNING DROP-OFF OR AFTERNOON PICK-UP. This is a safety concern. Each day there are near misses as children dart past moving vehicles. This parking lot is for staff. Do not enter this lot during morning drop-off or afternoon pick-up.

3. DO NOT PARK IN THE 3 MINUTE LOADING ZONE OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL DURING DROP-OFF AND PICK-UP. We asked the city to rezone this area so parents have a safe space to pull up, have their children get out of the car, and pull away. Parking in these spots is not permitted and we will have SDPD ticket parked cars if this continues.

4. DO NOT HAVE YOUR STUDENTS EXIT YOUR CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF HILL ST. This is dangerous.

I appreciate your immediate attention to this matter and your commitment to the safety of our school community. Please contact me should you have any questions regarding these protocols.

An AI Task Force is forming to explore and understand how it's used in education to help establish guidelines. Meeting date: Oct. 30th from 4-6pm (virtual). Please reach out to Julie Garcia to RSVP and for more info: jgarcia@sandi.net

Federal Impact Aid Survey went live on Monday, October 14. This important survey helps our district secure additional funding to support our schools and students.

We encourage all families to complete the survey through the PowerSchool Parent Portal. Your participation is crucial, as the data collected plays a key role in ensuring that we receive the resources necessary to continue providing quality education for all students.

Please take a moment to log in and complete the survey as soon as possible. If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to contact our office.

Thank you for your continued support!

The Priority Choice Application Window for the 2025-2026 school year will open Monday, September 23, 2024 and closes on Monday, November 4, 2024. Remember it is not on a first come, first served basis. A lottery will be conducted in January 2025 with email notifications following soon after.

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.
