Parent Center
Looking for resourses to help with your child? The parent center is a great place to go. Located within the library, the Parent Center is open daily 1:30-2:30pm or by appointment. Contact Annette Evans, 801-374-4950 ext. 2573.
Counselor's Page- We are very fortunate at Sunset View to have Sara Banister working with students who have behavioral/social/emotional issues. Sara runs the Student Support Room and conducts various kinds of group and individual sessions to help students who are struggling with these kinds of challenges. She also publishes a weekly newsletter called Ready, Set, Go for Learning, that contains fabulous information for parents and teachers who need some ideas. There is information about ADHD, preparing for test-taking, conflict resolution, etc. We've set up a page from which you can access these newsletters, both current and previous. This link is accessible from the Parent Resource page as well, which will be its permanent home.
Children’s Health Insurance Program
Does your child receive regular health care? If not, CHIP may be able to help. The Children’s Health Insurance Program provides health insurance to kids who qualify. This program is funded by the state and federal governments to provide regular health care to children in need. If you meet the income requirements, your children could have health insurance. To apply, visit https://utahhelps.utah.gov. For more information, visit www.utahchip.org or call 1-877-KIDS-NOW.
District Wellness Policy
The district wellness policy is in place to help children be healthier. The policy states that children should not bring treats for each other, except on Valentine’s Day. All treats provided to students need to be commercially prepared and individually wrapped. Thank you for helping us implement this policy.
Toys/Electronics at School
We know that, at this Christmas season, many students would like to bring toys and electronics to school. Please remind students that this is not allowed. In addition to distracting learning, they are at risk for loss and theft. Toys, MP3 players, cell phones, etc. may be held for a parent to pick up.
Snow Days
In anticipation of a heavy winter, Provo School District is working to prepare for what could possibly be a “snow day.” To keep from having to make up days during Spring Break, Provo School District will avoid closing schools for a complete snow day, if possible. If a large storm does hit our city in the late evening or early morning, bus pick ups and school starting times will be set back exactly TWO hours later than the original times. So, Sunset View would start at 10:20 am. This delayed start will give adequate time for snowplows to clear roads and make traveling safer. All schools, however, will keep dismissal times as originally scheduled. Students will be released from school at the normally scheduled times they are accustomed to. To find out if a Late Start has been declared by the superintendent, please check the Provo School District Web site (www.provo.edu) for updated information regarding the status of the school day. If a notice has not been posted by 6:00 a.m., schools and bus routes will operate on the standard schedule.
Parent Training
Are you tired of asking your children to do the same things over and over? Do you feel they don’t listen to you? If so, this parent training is for you! You’ll learn about Precision Requests, a method often used in schools to help children follow directions. Join us on Wednesday, Jan. 13 from 6:30-8:00 at the district office (280 W. 940 N.) to learn these great techniques. A Spanish language session will be offered.
State and Federal Accountability Results
Sunset View is proud to announce our school has again met both state (UPASS) and federal (AYP) accountability goals. Thank you to our amazing faculty and staff, hard-working students, and dedicated parents who help make this happen. Detailed reports can be found at http://u-pass.schools.utah.gov/u-passweb/UpassServlet.
Major Donation
Sunset View is lucky to have APX Alarms as our community partner. They have generously donated money and service to benefit our school. We will soon receive a $10,000 check from APX! This money is dedicated for school supplies to make teachers’ work easier and to benefit the school experience of each student. We are astounded by this donation and want to publicly thank APX for their kindness to Sunset View!
