Note from Mr. Williams Dear Sunset Hill Families,
It's great to have all of our K-5 students back in school or learning online 5 days a week, and I am hopeful that some of our hardest transitions are behind us. Thank you, Sunset Hill parents and staff, for the support, encouragement and guidance you have provided our children this past year. Your feedback and partnership are truly appreciated! Parent/Teacher Conferences Conferences will take place on Thursday, February 11, from 3:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., and Friday, February 12, from 7:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. Please sign up for your parent conference through Skyward Family Access. The sign up window will close on Monday, February 8, at 8:00 a.m. Your classroom teacher will send you the Zoom link before your conference time. Conferences with Specialists Our Specialists would like to visit with you as well. The schedule below represents open times when our team would like to share with you, a bit more about their content area, upcoming goals and projects, as well as answer any questions you may have. These are open Zoom rooms and therefore, the presentations would start at the times listed. We have tried to offer opportunities over the course of the two days to help you, and we would love to have you join us. Report Cards Report cards will be posted in Skyward Family Access tomorrow, Friday, February 5 at 4:00 p.m. If you have requested a hard copy, you should receive it in the mail early next week.
Warmly,
Did You Know? I Love to Read Month is Every Month at Sunset Hill! At Sunset Hill, we are a community of readers. For this year's I Love to Read Month celebration, the festivities will be spread over the next few months because we love to read throughout the year! To help start our celebration, students can complete this READ-O (BINGO) sheet. Please return the completed sheet to SH for a prize! Happy Reading and watch for more reading fun to come.
Picture Day Picture Day has been rescheduled for February 23, 2021. In-person students will get their photos taken during the school day. Distance choice students will be able to come into school from 3:30 p.m. to 5:45 p.m. that evening. A sign up will be shared with distance choice families by their classroom teachers. Please note: Currently, we do not have a Picture Retake Day scheduled.

FAST Pass Guidelines
Reporting Absences in Skyward Family Access When your student is absent, we need you to report the absence in Skyward Family Access, or with a call to the attendance line at 763-745-5955, to let us know the reason for the absence. If we do not hear from you, the absence will be unexcused. Informing the teacher is helpful, but the absences must be reported in Skyward or to the attendance line for recording purposes.
