The Rise Up Family Connection
Some thoughts for the starting school year
August 28, 2026
Dear Sunset Park Families,
We are wrapping up MAP testing, and I am proud of our students for working hard and showing determination. With several exciting events ahead, our students continue to remain focused, engaged, and committed to learning each day.
If a concern arises, please follow our school’s chain of communication by contacting your child’s teacher first, followed by the assistant principal, and then the principal if additional support is needed. This process helps us respond efficiently and work together toward the best solution.
Thank you for your continued partnership as we help every child rise!
Rise Up, Trojans!
Empowering Learners,
Mrs. Blackwell
Principal
Sunset Park Center for Accelerated Studies
