School Supplies for 2022-2023 School supplies! Yes, you may have noticed the list is shorter this year, and that is intentional. Here is the 2022-2023 Puesta del Sol School Suggested Supply List. Bellevue School District has worked hard on a plan to provide the instructional materials (e.g. textbooks, workbooks, paper, pencils, crayons, etc.) necessary for all student's academic success, and you’ll see this across schools in the school district. There may be a few asks for individual classes which families will learn about after students get their class assignments. If you are shopping at Amazon.com, remember to sign up for AmazonSmile and designate Puesta del Sol Elementary/Sunset Elementary PTA Bellevue Council 2 3 95. It costs you nothing and gets money donated to our PTA with each purchase! Sign up at https://smile.amazon.com. Class Assignments Students entering grades 1-5 will be notified of their teacher assignment during the late afternoon of Monday, August 29th or Tuesday, August 30th via email. Check out ways to help at school with our PTA Board and Committees! Our school community can’t do what it does for our kids without helping each other! The start of the year is a great time to browse through roles available on our PTA Board and various committees. Check out our Board and Committees page. Descriptions are available by clicking the name of the role and/or e-mailing the board member/director listed. To view descriptions, you may need to set up your PTA website log in first. If you haven’t already done so, go to the Create New PTA Website Account page. Once you are logged in, you can find out more and even sign up! If you need help, please send an e-mail to: membership@puestadelsolpta.org.
