Grades 1-5 on September 1
Kindergarten on September 7
We are so glad that you are here with us at Puesta del Sol! We understand that things can feel overwhelming when starting a new school so we created this sheet of helpful tips to get you through the first couple of months.
Our New Family/Student Outreach team is available at [email protected]. Additionally, join the Puesta del Sol Class of 2035 Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/338401078103405 . This group is not sponsored by Puesta del Sol Elementary School, Bellevue School District, or the Puesta del Sol PTA. This is a closed group, so you will need to request to join and will be admitted by one of our moderators, who are Puesta del Sol-seasoned Kindergarten Parents. Visit the Puesta del Sol Kindergarten Blog for information & resource links.
Thanks and Welcome!
The Puesta Del Sol PTA Board
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 to work 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!

Puesta del Sol is looking for host families for our 2022-23 Amity interns. Host families play a vital role in the success of the program. By welcoming an intern from another country into their home, volunteer host families gain friendship, understanding, knowledge and a connection to the world. Host families will experience new tastes and customs and have the chance to practice their intern's language. Your children will learn about different parts of the world from the intern and may receive extra help with their own language studies.
At Puesta del Sol, our host families typically host for 13 weeks but offer longer durations. You may select to host for Fall, Winter or Spring or half-year, and we will extend full year if necessary. The Amity Committee needs 20 host family applications for 6 interns to ensure improved matching and experience for our interns and families. You may make a preference for male or female and/or time of year. We are in need of families interested in hosting male interns.
To apply to be a host family, please fill out an application.

As Puesta community members ourselves, we know the information can be overwhelming, so we wanted to first provide some resources as we start school.
Each year, our Kindercamp allows us to get to know students in preparation for classroom placements. During their 30-minute slot, students will be engaged in a variety of academic and social learning activities. This will allow the students to get to know all the kindergarten teachers.
