Sunset School 3rd, 4th and 5th graders are taking WY-TOPP tests this April. Please assist us in making the test taking as smooth as possible by not scheduling out-of-school appointments. Thank you! The testing schedule is listed below.

We are happy to continue working with the Adopt-a-Pilot program for the 8th year! Mr. Ted Gonzaga, a Southwest Airlines pilot, will make presentation to our 4th grade classes April 29, May 6, May 13, and graduation May 20.

The Adopt-a-Pilot program supports teachers in reinforcing the importance of school and how the power of hard work and commitment are essential to achieving dreams. Pilots lead activities in the Adopt-A-Pilot curriculum by making lessons in science, geography, and math come alive, demonstrating to students how these subjects can be applied in “real life.” Students track their "adopted" pilot's journey during the time that he or she is "on the road." We are happy to have Mr. Gonzaga back at Sunset School!

Hey Sunset Colts and Fillies,

Here are some Safety reminders for all you bike riders, skate boarders, scooters, e-scooters, horse riders, and airplane pilots:

Please wear your helmet to save your melon.

You must walk, walk, WALK your ride when crossing the street.

Do not ride on the street where cars can hit you. Ouch!

Be Smart, Be Kind, Be SAFE!!!

Free swimming lessons are being offered by the Rec Center to 3rd graders, The last session is April 13 through April 23, Mondays through Thursdays. Class sizes are limited to 8 students per class. Due to class sizes and to maximize the time allowed for teaching swim classes, there are two different time slots; 3:45 to 4:15 p.m. and 4:15-4:45 p.m. Once all lessons are complete all children still in the pool will be directed to the locker rooms to change.

Rec Center registration forms and information about the swimming lessons were sent home in January. Completed registration forms need to be returned to the Rec Center. A bus will transport students from Sunset School to the Rec Center, parents will pick up their student after the lesson. Parents must pick their student up at the Rec Center NO LATER than 5:00 p.m.

Make sure your student leaves home with their swimming clothes and a towel!
