Sunset affords students a rich curriculum aligned to Arizona College and Career Ready Standards.

Sunset Elementary School, in the Washington Elementary School District, serves more than 600 prekindergarten through sixth grade children in the neighborhood bordered by Olive Avenue on the south and Peoria Avenue on the north, from 43rd Avenue to 51st Avenue. We are also committed to our Continuous Improvement Plan, which focuses on instructional practices. Staff will be building our reading intervention plan and data discussions to make decisions to best meet the needs of all students every day. Staff will also work together to implement the Response to Intervention (RTI) model. The structure of RTI will provide Sunset students with added academic support. Teacher instructional strategies will continue to improve with a focus on increased student engagement and academic growth for all. Teachers will also continue working on math instructional strategies to build a strong understanding of math skills and understanding for all students.

What a wonderful morning with the Delivering Dreams Bus!

Today, 50 of our Sunset students had the opportunity to step away from the classroom and shop for themselves, picking out their very own brand-new clothes and shoes, along with receiving a bag full of hygiene products and other goodies.

We are so grateful for the incredible team of volunteers who made this experience possible and for all of the resources provided to support our students and families.

The biggest smiles were seen on the faces of our students — and honestly, plenty of smiles from the grown-ups, too! There is something pretty special about watching a child light up when they get to choose something new just for themselves.

Thank you, Delivering Dreams, for bringing so much joy, kindness, and generosity to our Stallions this morning! We are incredibly grateful for this wonderful partnership.

Mrs. Weeks and her students celebrated Earth Day by making seed bombs. 🌎🌱 A fun, hands-on way to learn about caring for our planet while getting a little messy along the way!

Ms. Harris’ kindergarten class took learning outside today as they observed the life cycle of a butterfly. 🦋🌿 Students enjoyed the beautiful weather while watching nature in action, what a perfect way to bring science to life!
