Next School Year TK Enrollment News - please share this information with you neighbors

Transitional Kindergarten (currently known as UTK) will do an online enrollment sometime in March.  We anticipate having three TK classes onsite with 20 students and two teachers per classroom.  The District will host TK Parent Workshops via Zoom in mid/to late January.  Please monitor our District website for updates to help you navigate this process and for the link to the Zoom workshop. 

Since this will be an online only enrollment please secure your enrollment documents early.  These were the documents requested last year but that could change:

  • current immunizations,
  • current proof of address (dated within 30 days of submitting the document to the school), 
  • birth certificate or current passport, and
  • an IEP, if that pertains to you; it does not pertain to most.
Jogathon Sponsorship
Sunset View's biggest student fundraising event is our Jogathon. This year, "Take Me out to the Jogathon" will be on Friday, January 31, 2025.  During this event, the kids will run around the track and spend the day participating in various fun activities.  The students collect pledges or one-time donations from their family and friends for the laps they run.  The money they raise is used directly to help fund the programs at Sunset View provided by KidsFirst.  Jogathon helps fund KidsFirst's annual operating budget which is approximately $275K this year. 

Thanks to a generous community of parents, friends and relatives, Sunset View's Jogathon has proven to be a huge success year after year.  A large part of this success comes from corporate sponsorships which allow us to give every child a Jogathon T-shirt for FREE!  Each sponsor has their business' name/logo on the back of the shirt.

Do you know anyone who owns a business, or are you a business owner who could partner with us?  This is a great opportunity for a company to make an impact on children while gaining name recognition in our own local Point Loma community.  There will be at least 500 shirts printed and running around Point Loma!  Purchase a sponsorship HERE.  Please note, if you donated this year as a Corporate Sponsor, your donation already includes your company logo on the jogathon shirts.  The largest donor will have the largest headline logo on the back of the t-shirt.

The following is a breakdown of what we're offering our corporate sponsors. Please pass this along to someone you know if you cannot donate yourself.  Thank you!

  • $1,000 (or more) Headline Logo Level (amount of your choice)  
    Your company logo will be prominently featured as one of the largest images on the back of the 500 t-shirts, positioning your brand as a top supporter of the event. 
  • $350 Donor Level
    Your company logo will be placed on the back of our 500 t-shirts in a smaller size, providing recognition of your support. 
  • Custom Level 

Any questions about Corporate Sponsorships for Jogathon should be directed to Jo Jo Cadwell or Jill Bruckart via Konstella.
