Sunset Families,
The homecoming parade is on Friday, September 22nd at 2:30. In recent years, elementary schools have had a float with our students walking in the parade. We will NOT be doing that this year. We encourage our families to take their children to watch the parade as spectators. This gives our elementary students an opportunity to observe the homecoming parade and learn what it's all about.
Dismissal on Friday will follow the normal Friday schedule. Go Broncs and Fillies!
Jay McCarten, M.Ed.
Principal, Sunset Elementary School
