The Annual Sunset Ridge Spring Carnival was a blast!

Thank you to ALL of the amazing people who worked behind the scenes to plan this special event. And a special shoutout to our sponsors and day of volunteers - we can't do these events without you!

Students worked incredibly hard to create their Square 1 Art masterpieces! Now is your opportunity to turn those masterpieces into memorable keepsakes. 

Order a treasure for yourself and/or a gift for others - grandparents, Mother's Day, Father's Day, the list goes on!

Proceeds will help support our Art Program.

Dear Families of Incoming Kindergarten Students, 

We're looking forward to meeting you and your children who will be joining Sunset Ridge next year.  

If you are a family with older siblings already at Sunset Ridge, much of this will be familiar information to you. If you're new to Sunset Ridge, you'll probably find a lot of this information very useful! 

Here is a video recording of me talking through this slideshow. The slideshow is full of useful information and links, like for registration or connecting with our nursing staff or afterschool programs and more.  

Two important dates to note are - 

Thursday, April 25th - You are invited to join me and representatives from our PTA at Sunset Ridge from 4:15 - 5:00pm for an optional Q&A session and tour. You'd be welcome to stay for our Encore Night event as well and see music concerts, art displays, and more from 5:00 - 7:00pm.  

Monday, August 5th - This is our Kindergarten Visitation day. If your last name begins with A-L, students are invited to visit the school from 1:00 - 3:00pm. If your last name starts with M-Z, students would visit from 4:00 - 6:00pm. This is a time to drop off kids and give the teachers a chance to get to know them before finalizing class placement.  

We look forward to meeting you soon!

May 13th is changing from a non-instructional day to a normal school day for all students and staff. This adjustment is necessary to make up for the instructional time lost.

As you are aware, our school community has faced some unexpected closures this year due to a cybersecurity incident in February and inclement weather in March. These events have led us to reconsider our schedule to ensure we meet our educational commitments for the year.

After careful consideration, we have decided to change the professional development day scheduled for May 13th from a non-instructional day to a normal school day for all students and staff. This adjustment is necessary to make up for the instructional time lost.

We understand that this change may affect your family's plans, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Please adjust your schedules accordingly to ensure your child attends school on May 13th.

Your understanding and support are greatly appreciated as we navigate these unexpected challenges. As always, our priority is to provide a safe and engaging learning environment for our students, and this adjustment is a step towards achieving our educational goals for the year.

-Middleton Cross Plains Area School District

Dear Sunset Ridge Families, 

We're coming close to the time of year where we make class placement decisions for next year. If you have feedback to share, please use this form. Our school counselor, Lindsey Hellenbrand, will lead this process with teachers.  

Lindsey is an outstanding counselor (actually, she's the lead counselor for the district) and a parent of elementary-aged children, so has been through class placement as a parent as well as a staff member. She collects family input, the perspectives of Encore staff and teachers, and facilitates a process that is as complex as the 65 or so kiddos in each grade in which she tries to balance student friendships, academic needs, social-emotional skills, learning styles, interests, the prior relationships families and teachers have established, and the different styles of the receiving teachers.  

My request for families is to use the form, connect with current teachers, connect with potential "receiving" teachers who they might already have a relationship with, and to have grace with our staff throughout the process. We have teachers with kids in this school, and they go through the same process. Every teacher team we have is thoughtful about this.

Please fill this out before May 10th. We'll start the school-based conversations on May 13th. And, as always, please feel free to reach out to me with questions or concerns!



Remember - fill out the family feedback form for class placement by May 10th!
