Sunset View Newsletter

I hope you all enjoyed the weekend and were able to find ways to stay cool. Last week's heat was unusual for our school by the ocean. We had to make schedule and classroom adjustments and monitor water intake and rest time. We are all hoping the worst is behind us!

We are seeking 7 new members for our joint School Site Council (SSC) and Site Governance Team (SGT) committee. You can nominate yourself or others.

- Meetings are generally held the 2nd Friday of the month, from 8:00am-8:30am on Zoom.

- Typically we have between 5 to 8 meetings a year.
- Elected members serve a two-year term with an option for re-election.

Current community members on the committee are:

Jennifer Poe who is on Year 2

Please submit your nominations ASAP. We will contact those nominated and to confirm they accept the nomination. A ballot form will open later for voting.

The health office is in need of new boys underwear and used boys clothing to have on hand when we have friends that need to change. Thank you!

Please log in to the PowerSchool Parent Portal to review the 2026-27 Family Resource Guide (formerly Facts for Parents). Please complete the one-question confirmation form and the Universal Form.

Completing these required forms ensures your child can fully participate in classroom and school activities, including media coverage or opportunities for their work to be showcased.

Need support with Parent Portal? Visit the Parent Portal resource webpage or contact our school office.

Our Community Bulletin Board is a favorite tradition here at Sunset View. We love seeing pictures of our students and their families all collected in one space right outside of our main office. Please send a picture to your child's teacher to add to the board.

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.

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 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.
