School Closures
From Our School Nurse
February is National Dental Health Month. Drs. Jeremy and Jaime Hill from Hill Dentistry volunteered to visit our school February 9 to perform dental screenings for all grades. This is a free, voluntary service; they will take a quick look in your student's mouth - no treatments will be performed. If you have any questions please call me at 307-587-4279..

Title One Happenings
Thank you to everyone who attended and helped with the Sunset Tailgate Bash Family Night on January 29!! We appreciate you ALL - students, staff, and the families who attended.
Amazing young people from CMS and CHS chipped in and played games with our littles, and then stayed to clean up! They were extremely polite and thoughtful - the Sunset kids were excited to see them ! (Thanks, Deb , Gretl, and Matt !)
We loved partnering with Holly and Jennisen - the Library A Team!
Brenda at Central Kitchen was so helpful in putting together our "snacks" !
Our custodial staff, Rhonda, Millie, and Roger, helped us with the event format and put aside their own work to help us before, during, and after!!
And Sunset Staff ... you came out in force and made it a great night for our families !! What an amazing team!!
THANK YOU !!

3rd Grade Swim Lessons
Free swimming lessons are being offered by the Rec Center to 3rd graders, the upcoming sessions are, February 2 through February 12, excluding February 10; March 2 through March 12; and April 13 through April 23; Mondays through Thursdays, unless otherwise noted. 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 December; they are also available at the Rec Center. Return completed registration forms 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!
Please take a few minutes to review the Elementary Handbook, it is a resource of information about our procedures and policies!

Parent Teacher Conferences
Dress warmly, it's cold out there!
Please label your student's coat, hat, mittens, lunch box etc. with their name. This makes it easier to return misplaced items to the proper owner! Thank you.
