School Parties / Homeroom Parent Sign-Up
The Sunset Valley PTA would love to have you as a parent volunteer this year!
PTA volunteers help in all sorts of activities in the classroom. You can be a Homeroom Parent, a class party volunteer, or help teachers with decorating, sorting, cutting, etc. If you can’t volunteer during the day, but would still like to help, you can send in supplies for parties and other classroom activities! But, the only way to be able to do any of this is to provide your EMAIL! This will allow you to be contacted by your Homeroom Parent and will help you stay in the loop on class parties, supply lists, and other classroom events.
Please note: all volunteers must be PTA members AND have their Raptor Volunteer badges to volunteer in the school during the school day. For more information about Raptor, please visit the Sunset Valley website or contact your Homeroom Parent.

ALLERGY AWARENESS
​
Like most schools in the United States, we have a number of students at Sunset Valley that have potentially life-threatening food allergies. For information about practical food allergy management in the school setting, please visit www.snacksafely.com. We understand that allergy safe foods such as carrot sticks & apple slices may not be exciting to all kids. Since there is no "one" snack food that is safe for all allergies, please check with your teacher or homeroom mom to find out if there are any specific allergies in your child's class.
​
There is a brand called Enjoy Life that is free of all the top 8 allergens. They make various snacks and food and they can be found at Giant Eagle & Wal-Mart. Additionally, click here to be directed to the Snack Safely list of snacks. This list does not provide options for all 8 of the top allergens, but it does provide options for tree nut, peanut & egg allergies. The top 8 food allergens include: Dairy, Eggs, Peanuts, Tree Nuts, Fish, Shellfish, Soy, Wheat.
