Sunset View Newsletter

I want to take a moment to remind all of our Sunset View parents about our upcoming KidsFirst funded parenting workshop. Parenting can be challenging, especially when big emotions take over! Join us on Tuesday, October 27th at 9:00 a.m. for a special workshop led by Sita Mukerji, MA. We'll explore practical strategies for managing our own stress, supporting our children's big emotions, and strengthening family connections. You'll leave with tools you can put to use right away! It is not too late to RSVP to attend this valuable workshop!

Last week, our students had the chance to visit Dana MS to learn more about their school. It is now time to select your top five elective choices. The elective form is available under the “for students” section of the website. If you didn’t get a chance to watch the elective video, you can find the video there as well.

As we kick off the new school year, San Diego Unified is introducing a new learner-centered technology resolution to help students stay focused, healthy, and engaged in learning.

Beginning August 10, students will see a few important changes:

• Video-streaming platforms, such as YouTube, will only be available on district-issued Chromebooks when enabled by teachers for instructional purposes.

• Non-instructional gaming platforms will still be prohibited on district-issued devices.

• Computer carts will be removed from Transitional Kindergarten (TK) classrooms, while ensuring students with Individualized Education Plans, 504 Plans, or language-learning needs continue to receive appropriate access.

These updates are part of our commitment to creating learning environments where technology supports student learning, safety, wellness, and healthy development.

As a parent, you can also reduce screentime and non-instructional use of Chromebooks by activating your Blocksi Parent account to monitor and restrict access when your student is not at school. To learn more about how to use Blocksi, read this Blocksi Parent Job Aid.

To learn more about the new resolution click here and click here for the press release.

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.

EVERY student is welcome to join us for FREE Breakfast and Lunch each school day.

• Universal FREE Meals start the first day of the 2026 - 2027 School Year.

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.
