Hello Desert Sunset Elementary families! Our district is utilizing a new tool for parent/teacher communication called Rooms. This summer we are going to begin using this platform for all summer programs and activities. Rooms is also where you will be finding out your student’s new class schedule and teacher assignments for the 2024-2025 school year. It is important to accept your guardian invitation to Rooms NOW prior to summer break! If you haven’t accepted your guardian invitation yet, you will be receiving an email or text message invitation on April 23rd. Please reach out to your teacher if you have any questions! - Desert Sunset Elementary
