Sunset Lane Elementary School

Sunset Lane is committed to a rich and challenging tradition of excellence where every decision is made with the students' best interest in mind. We recognize the value of each student as an integral member of the school community. With a partnership of parents, staff, and students, we are dedicated to making a positive impact on our dynamic and ever changing world. At Sunset Lane all students are empowered to achieve success.

CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION:     All students experience a balanced, rigorous, standards-based curriculum guided by challenging goals for each grade level. Instructional strategies reflect the 21st century learning skills our students will need to become successful adults and focus on supporting individual learning styles, actively engaging students, and promoting deep and thoughtful learning.

SCHOOL CLIMATE:     Sunset Lane School provides a safe, orderly, and inviting climate that is conducive to learning and protects instructional time. Under the umbrella of Positive Behavior Intervention and Support (PBIS), we understand the link between appropriate behavior and academic achievement. We work collaboratively to develop, teach, and enforce behavior expectations that ensure a physically, emotionally, and intellectually safe learning environment for all members of the school community. We encourage students to develop the habit of service to others both at school and in the greater community. Diversity is valued at Sunset Lane; bullying is never tolerated.

STAFF:    The Sunset Lane staff is committed to ensuring the success of every student. Staff members are motivated by shared goals and a common sense of purpose. Every staff member accepts responsibility for every child.

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT:     The Sunset Lane community includes teachers, parents and families, and community supporters. PTA, School Site Council, English Language Advisory Committee, and the Sunset Lane Education Foundation welcome the involvement of parents and community members in supporting our children.
