Welcome to Sunset
We are the home of the Sunset Middle School Dolphins and the 7th and 8th grade site for Coos Bay Public Schools. We have 37 staff members who are committed to ensuring each of our approximately 450 students has an enriching experience while being a student in our building.
For the 2010-2011 school year our staff is proud to announce that we have brought back academic teaming. This year our school is divided into three teams that function much like small schools within the school. We have the Nor’Wester team for 7th grade, the Tsunami team for 8th grade, and for the first time we have a mixed 7th/8th grade team, the Chinooks. Students will have the same core teachers (math, science, language arts, and social studies) within their team for the entire year, but will have a chance to work with other staff during elective classes and Advisory.
In addition to core classes of language arts, science, math, and social studies, we are proud to offer students elective coursework in physical education & health, band, reading, science in the movies, choir, art, family and consumer science, literature in film, yearbook, academic assistance, literature, and pop culture. Students at Sunset may also cadet at our sister school, Madison Elementary, where they have an opportunity to work with elementary-aged students.
