As we wrapped up our first day of school, we wanted to say THANK YOU to our amazing Desert Sunset Elementary families and community! 💙💛
Thank you for your patience during dismissal as we worked through a very busy afternoon of traffic. We are excited to welcome many new students and families to DSES this year, and with that comes a few more cars in our pick-up line and the addition of buses. Your patience and cooperation help make dismissal run smoothly each day.
A special thank you to everyone for helping keep our students safe by slowing down, following the directions of our crossing guards, and being mindful of others on our roads. Student safety is always our top priority, and we appreciate everyone doing their part.
This morning, we also enjoyed spending time with our kindergarten families during our Tears & Cheers Breakfast. It was wonderful to see so many smiling faces as we kicked off this exciting school year together.
Here's to an amazing year at Desert Sunset Elementary—we're ALL IN!
