ESS Enrollment Information:
Thank you so much for your interest in Sunset Hills ESS program!
Effective for the 204-2025 school year, new applications to the ESS program will be centrally managed by the District Office, Before/After School Department through a single application and interest list. Please find the link to the information and registrationhere.
Submitting an application does not guarantee enrollment in ESS. It is anticipated that the demand for ESS services may exceed the program capacity at most schools. Applicants are accepted into the program based on the rating system outlined on ESS webpage, up to the capacity for each school's program. Should a site be determined near capacity for ESS enrollment, a lottery process may be necessary to determine new student placement in the program.
If you have any questions or need additional information regarding ESS enrollment, please email [email protected]

ESS Overview
Mission Statement - "E.S.S. is a bridge between school and home where children are encouraged to learn, create, and explore within their school, community, and world."
Program Overview - This extended-day program expands the excellence of each child's school experience into before and after school. E.S.S. is staffed by highly qualified professionals and trained program assistants. The staff provides for the academic and social needs of children in safe and nurturing environments. There is time, space, encouragement, and support for learning good study habits.
Voluntary Use Program - ESS is a voluntary use program. All PUSD elementary schools have an Extended Student Services program on their campus. Our organization works diligently to accommodate and serve working families in need of before and after school care. A student's enrollment at an elementary school does not guarantee them ESS enrollment. As a growing organization, each ESS site may experience limitations that factor into the enrollment capacity and may prohibit the acceptance of additional students at any given time.
Program Activities - Our program is geared toward expanding each child's world through arts & crafts projects, science activities and reading and language arts reinforcement. Our program reinforces the social, motor, and academic skills children learn in the classroom.
Hours - E.S.S. is open daily, Monday - Friday, from 6:30 am to 6:00 pm. We have optional enrollment for district recesses and summer.
