Our school day begins at 8:30 am. Drop off time for breakfast is 8:10 am. All other students will be able to enter the building at 8:20 am. As long as the temperature is not below a "feels like" temperature of 10 degrees, your student will be asked to wait outside. Please make sure they are dressed accordingly.

Every Wednesday we will end the school day at 3:00 pm instead of 3:30 pm. This gives our teachers throughout the District collaboration time by attending weekly professional learning communities.

In addition to the classroom teacher, please also contact the main office at (402) 390-6480 or drelicharz.cristina@westside66.net with any information related to your child's attendance.

This includes:

•Late Arrival-include lunch preference

•Absence-include reason for absence

•Early pick up/appointments

•Change of pick up arrangements

If your student is not in their classroom by 8:30 am they must come to the main office to sign in or they will be counted absent. Students coming or going during the day for appointments, illness, etc also must sign in and out through the main office.

Please remember that after school plans should be made in the morning. Students are expected to be off school grounds by 3:45 pm (3:15 pm on Wednesdays). Each child should know what the after school plan is. Students going home with another child after school should make plans ahead of time.

Please remember to notify the school if there is an unexpected change of after school plans for your child. If you know in the morning, a note to the teacher and main office is always appreciated. We appreciate your cooperation in making sure your child is safe.

Your kids are probably bursting with excitement! The book fair is here! Some kiddos got to do a preview and walk through today! The rest will get a look on Monday! Come and see all the excitement for yourself!

Dear Participants and Parents/Guardians,

Sunset Hills Elementary School is excited to offer Butter Braid® Pastry’s as our Fall 2022 fundraising program! These pastries are hand-braided and layered with butter to create a sweet, flaky pastry with incredible flavor that melts-in-your mouth!

The proceeds from this fundraiser will go to support Sunset Hills Elementary teachers, students, and families. The money raised helps pay for things like teacher stipends on supplies, meals for conferences and teacher appreciation week, student and family events such as Movie Night or the Taco Ride, and other upcoming events sponsored by our Community Club. If our school sells 250+ Butter Braids, we’ll earn $6.00 per item. Less than 250 items sold, profit will be $5.00 per item. Options for fundraising include both an online store, as well as a paper form for orders which will come home in backpacks.

New this year, sellers can register themselves for online sales. Here is the link to register for online sales: https://store.myfundraisingplace.com/RegisterSeller/165ba2f9-fbb3-4b4a-8b08-c956e783c9e6

Our online store will be live once you register your seller. If you prefer to do paper ordering, you will receive that in your child’s backpack this weekend. NOTE- Sellers must deliver their own Butter Braid orders. Here is the link to the online store:

Feel free to contact me with any questions, and thanks for doing your part to make this fundraiser a success!
