Sunset Hills Mission Statement
Sunset Hills School is a visionary, innovative elementary
school that is committed to preparing responsible,
productive, life-long learners.
School Improvement
The staff at Sunset Hills School has targeted the area
of reading for improvement. This year, the teachers
are working on standardizing their language arts
(reading and writing) curriculum. Teachers have begun
the process by mapping out the content they need
to teach so that children will be able to master
grade level objectives by the end of the year. Along
with that, teachers are generating calendars that
show when the content is covered throughout each
month. While the teachers are busy with designing
and documenting their grade level curriculum, they
are continuously monitoring student achievement.
Teachers are making sure their curricular decisions
relating to content taught and the timing of the
instruction is producing successful results. Many
resources…both human and others that support
instruction…are used to enhance student learning.
The Sunset Hills staff believes that literacy is
the foundation of a primary school building.
