Pine Lake Middle School

Members of the School Board would like to hear from the community about the 2024 School Modernization and Construction Bond and potential next steps. The bond measure, which was on the November 5 ballot, received just over 50% approval but fell short of the required 60% supermajority needed to pass. 

The School Board has scheduled two listening sessions, and the district is launching a ThoughtExchange to hear from students, staff, families and community members. Information about each of these is included below. 

The listening sessions for the board and staff to hear from the community about the bond measure will be: 

  • 5:30-6:45 p.m. on December 9 at Pine Lake Middle School. 
  • 7:30-8:45 p.m. on December 9 at Cougar Mountain Middle School.  

To participate in the ThoughtExchange, visit the website to share your thoughts, and then please rate the thoughts of others who share (rating thoughts helps us see the themes and trends among the thoughts). If you participate early in the ThoughtExchange, please revisit it later to rate thoughts that come in after you participate. The exchange will be open from November 18 through December 2.

Honoring Heroes: Sunset’s Annual Veterans Day Assembly

Sunset students and staff honored our veterans at their traditional Veteran's Day Assembly. It was a wonderful assembly put on by our music teachers Marie Bean and David Johnson. 5th grade students were M.C.'s for the assembly and we had our own sunset students part of the local cub scout troop bring down the flags to begin the assembly.

The students sang a medley of songs from each military branch while honoring those in attendance whom served in those branches. Thank you veterans for your service to our country!

Meet Principal LeAnn Tuupo

Hello, Sockeye families! One of the best parts about being a principal is greeting the students, families and staff each morning with an air high-five or another quick connection. It helps set a positive tone for all of us! A few fun facts about me: Two of my favorite children’s authors are Mo Willems and Kazu Kibiushi. I have never lived outside of a 15-mile radius from my childhood home. And, if I could only eat one food for the rest of my life, it would be taco salad!
