Before & After School Programs
There are numerous programs offered (at a cost to parents) on Thursday afternoons. Thursday programs are scheduled to start on September 7th. Before school Spanish is also offered certain mornings. Before and after school childcare is available on site and is run through SAY San Diego. Contact information and registration links for all before and after school programs can be found using this link: SVE Before & After School Info
A link has also been added to Konstella under More --> Files & Links --> SDUSD & Sunset View Links and will be updated throughout the school year.
Konstella Info & Support
Many documents and links are posted (and others will be added) to Konstella (Look under "More --> Files & Links"). We encourage parents to search there first for documents and links that have been referenced in emails from Principal O'Connor, SDUSD, or other sources. Examples of files and links available include:
- Sunset View School Calendar & Bell Schedule *Note that events are subject to change/cancellation and this calendar is regularly updated
- School Lunch Menu
- School Breakfast Menu
Konstella Reminders/Help:
- To Merge: To merge with additional parents on Konstella, confirm the spelling of the child's first and last name match exactly, even capital letters, and Konstella will auto populate an option to merge. NOTE: Merging does not allow the merged members to see anything you do through Konstella, it is a way for teachers and staff to see the child's family and know that everyone will be receiving any announcements provided.
- To add a child: Go to your settings then go to "your children"
- To edit/add a classroom: Go to your settings then go to "your children", click on your child's name then click classroom.
- Notifications: To manage how you are notified about events, click on settings and notifications and specify how often you would like to hear from us.
- Calendar: You can also SYNC our SVE calendar. Open your app, click on calendar and then in the top right click SYNC. It is suggested that you click on "SYNC ALL" this will allow the system to add your personal sign ups to your calendar as well, ie. teacher conferences, volunteer times, etc.
If you need additional help, Konstella also offers many tips and tricks through their online videos: Konstella Training Videos. Alternatively, you can reach out to Tori Traino, KF Communications Chair, through Konstella.
With regards to volunteer positions, we would like to request that you NOT put your name on any current openings as we have some positions that already have committed leads and we will populate those positions and notify the community with others are available to be filled. This also includes ROOM PARENT sign-ups. Please do NOT sign up for these positions at this time. These roles will be identified during Back-To-School night on August 22nd.
Parking
It is a well known fact that parking around Sunset View is a challenge! Please allow yourself plenty of time to find parking before and after school. Do NOT attempt to enter the lower parking lot after 8:00am. Unless you are using a handicap spot or you are one of the two families that purchased the parking space or the golf cart spot at last year's auction, parking is NOT allowed in the lower lot during pick-up or drop off. (Those who have students attending morning SAY may drop off before teachers arrive for the day.)
Please note that signage along Hill Street has changed and the majority of the space directly in front of the entrance is now marked as active loading/unloading. Please adhere to this new loading zone and do not park in this area if you intend to leave your vehicle.
