Transportation will be using alternative routes at dismissal. We anticipate a delayed drop off time for many buses. We thank you for your patience as we ensure our students all get home safely.
Due to an accident, the I-10 is closed. We are currently assessing the situation to determine how or if it will impact transportation at dismissal. We will provide an update as the impact on dismissal becomes more clear.
Looking forward to a fun 100th day of school on February 26th!

Friendship Lunch - What a beautiful day at Desert Sunset Elementary for our Friendship Lunch on February 13! 💛🌵
Our campus was filled with smiles as so many family members joined their students to enjoy a special picnic lunch together. Seeing loved ones gathered on the lawn, sharing laughs and making memories, truly captured the spirit of friendship and community that makes our school so special.
Students and guests were treated to a delicious dessert that added an extra touch of sweetness to the celebration — and our cake pop Valentines were a huge hit! 🍰💕 Thank you to everyone who purchased a treat and supported our school.
We are so grateful for the incredible families who showed up to make the day unforgettable. Events like this remind us that Desert Sunset isn’t just a school — it’s a community. 💛✨

We’re excited to partner with the Arizona Diamondbacks to encourage great attendance in February! ⚾ Students will track their own attendance daily in class on the calendar provided to them, and those with ideal attendance (no more than two absences) will earn a certificate and qualify for one complimentary D-backs ticket to a home game from March–June, with the purchase of a discounted adult ticket. Students began tracking their attendance today, and we appreciate your continued support in helping them be present and ready to learn each day. We’re looking forward to a fun and motivating month ahead! ⚾️
