to opportunity – it is a pre-requisite.”

Have fun while working

hard together. We take advantage of opportunities to reward learners and staff for their successes.

Dear Families of Sunset Ridge Students, On behalf of the Sunset Ridge Staff, I want to wish all of our families a very HAPPY HOLIDAY! You are invited to celebrate the holiday season with us at our Winter Ball on December 5 from 5:30-7:00. We will have a DJ playing music and we will serve cookies during the event. We ask parents to bring cookies that can be shared with our community. Cookies can be brought to the Winter Ball or brought to our main office anytime. On December 20, we will have our annual Sing-Along in the gym. The Sing-Along will start at 2:00. Families are invited to the Sing-Along. Classroom parties will follow the Sing-Along beginning at 2:30. Look for more information from your child’s teacher on the details for the classroom celebration. Dress for the Weather: Cold and unpredictable weather is upon us. It is important that students come to school dressed for our cooler weather. Please send students to school with coats, winter weather footwear, gloves and hats.

Te invitamos a celebrar la temporada navideña con nosotros en nuestro Baile de invierno el 5 de diciembre de 5:30-7:00. Tendremos un DJ tocando música y serviremos galletas durante el evento.

Las fiestas en el salón de clases seguirán después de la presentación del coro a partir de las 2:30. Busque más información del maestro(a) de su hijo(a) sobre los detalles de la celebración en el salón de clases Vístete para el clima: El clima frío e impredecible está sobre nosotros.

Parents, At Sunset Ridge, we are teaching students to be KIND to each other. We expect students to show kindness to their peers and to the adults at Sunset Ridge. Our teachers are teaching students 12 Kindness Concepts. I invite you to ask your children what they are

learning about kindness. I also encourage you to

expect your children to show kindness to

those around them when they are at home. Working

together, we can help our students to be

more kind and empathetic to each

other. Thank you for helping make Sunset Ridge a place where Kindness Matters!
