Getting Help for Your Application


Residency Requirements

A student’s residence is the legal residence of the parent(s)/guardian(s) who have physical custody of the child. To enroll in SFUSD, the student must continually reside in San Francisco when he/she applies for school, and while attending an SFUSD school. Students cannot temporarily reside in San Francisco solely to attend an SFUSD school. Also, parents/guardians who own property in San Francisco, but do not live in the city, are not considered a resident. (This residency policy does not apply to students who are homeless.)To verify San Francisco residency, parents/guardians must:• Remain at the home when not elsewhere for labor or other temporary reasons;• Maintain their residency, or move to another residency in San Francisco; and • Have their child physically reside in San Francisco for at least 50 percent of the time during the school year if

the parents/guardians live separately.

Special Residency SituationsThere are special circumstances when a student can declare residency in San Francisco without a parent/guard-ian. They include: students who are emancipated, living in foster care or with a caregiver, receiving temporary medical care in San Francisco, or who have an interdistrict permit. Students living with an adult caregiver, specif-ically to attend a particular school, may have their school request denied.

Students Moving Inside/Outside SF Students moving with their legal parents/guardians from a San Francisco address to a new San Francisco address must submit a Change of Address form to the Educational Placement Center within 14 days of moving. Failure to submit a Change of Address Form by the deadline could result in a student’s enrollment being revoked. Students who move out of San Francisco but want to continue attending a SFUSD school can apply for an inter-district permit from the new school district of residence to attend an undersubscribed SFUSD school that has available seats. An undersubscribed school is defined as a school that was not full and did not have outstanding choice requests at the beginning of the current school year. If enrollment has been revoked, the student will not be eligible to apply for an interdistrict permit for a year. Please see page xx for details about the permit.

Residency FraudSFUSD reserves the right to request additional documents and/or conduct an investigation if the Superinten-dent (or designee) reasonably believes, or has a reasonable suspicion, that the parent/guardian of a student has given false or unreliable evidence of residency. SFUSD can verify residency at any time, or require proof of con-tinued residency at certain intervals (monthly, quarterly, annually) as deemed appropriate. The Director of the Educational Placement Center (EPC) is the designee charged with overseeing residency fraud investigations.

Age RequirementsCalifornia law requires that a child must be five years old on or before September 1 of the school year to be le-gally eligible for kindergarten and six years old on or before September 1 of the school year to be legally eligible for first grade. Students who will have their fifth birthday between September 2 and December 2 of the school year are eligible for transitional kindergarten, which you can learn more about on page 50.

Application Requirements

Student Health RequirementsImmunizationsAccording to the California School Immunization Law, children must have their required immunizations (vaccinations or shots) before they can attend school.

TB ClearanceNew students also must provide evidence of tuberculosis (TB) clearance, such as a negative test result, or verification that the child is not at risk for TB, dated within one year before starting school.

Physical ExamStudents enrolling in kindergarten must also have had a physical examination within 6 months of the first day of kindergarten. First-graders must have had a physical examination within 18 months prior to the first day of first grade. The School Health Form for the physical exam and TB clearance are in the SFUSD School Health Manual (section E) available at www.healthiersf.org/resources/SHM.php. Information about required immunizations can be found in the SFUSD School Health Manual (section E) or at www.shotsfor-school.org.

Students with Medical ConditionsStudents who have a health condition that may affect their education should state this on their enrollment application in the “Special Needs” section, along with a brief description of what the child will need for functioning at or attending school. In addition, health documents should be given to the school and/or at-tached to the application. Do not include information about the medical condition of relatives or non-med-ical issues like transportation. Any need for health or medical services should be reviewed by an SFUSD School District Nurse before services are provided so staff who will be providing those services could be identified and properly trained.

Health Documents for SchoolsIf needed, the student’s healthcare provider should complete an Emergency Care Plan so the student can receive the proper care while at school. If the student needs medication while at school, the healthcare provider must complete a Medication Form for each medication needed. If the student requires specialized healthcare procedures while at school, medical orders must be given to the school before services can be provided. Emergency Care Plans and Medication Forms for common conditions are available in the SFUSD School Health Manual (sections B and C) or at www.healthiersf.org/resources/SHM.php.

SFUSD Wellness PolicyThe purpose of the SFUSD Wellness Policy is to ensure that students are safe, healthy and ready to learn. Schools are encouraged to create an environment where the healthy choice is the easiest, most desired choice among students, staff, families and the community. For more information about the Wellness Policy, visit sfusd.edu/BeWell.

• When there is a valid interest in a particular edu-cational program not offered in the school district where the student lives

Students who are victims of bullying at the school district where they live will have priority for interdis-trict transfers under any existing interdistrict transfer agreements the student has, or will be given additional consideration for an interdistrict transfer agreement.

Living Outside of San Francisco, Applying to SFUSDStudents who do not live in San Francisco but want to apply for an SFUSD school should enroll in the school district where they live as a precaution in case they are not assigned to an SFUSD school. SFUSD grants interdistrict transfers if seats are available.Students living outside San Francisco applying for interdistrict transfer permits will not be assigned an SFUSD school through the regular student assignment process. Instead, the EPC will begin reviewing requests five weeks before school starts. School assignment offers will first be made to students living in San Francisco.

Applying for Interdistrict Transfer PermitsStudents living outside of San Francisco who want to attend a SFUSD school must apply for an interdistrict transfer permit from the school district where they live. If the student’s district of residence approves the per-mit, it will be forwarded to the SFUSD EPC for approval. Students must submit a SFUSD enrollment applica-tion with their out-of-district address, and the documents needed for SFUSD enrollment.Students who need special education services and want to attend a SFUSD school must have their interdis-trict transfer applications approved by the Special Education Local Plan Area (SELPA) Director or the Assistant Superintendent of Special Education Services before students will be placed in a school.Interdistrict permits must be renewed for students each school year. Students also must maintain satisfactory standards of academic progress, behavior and attendance for interdistrict transfers. School assignments are made in the order that the applications are received.

Approving Interdistrict TransfersInterdistrict transfer requests will be approved on a case-by-case basis. SFUSD reserves the right to limit the number of incoming students and establish priorities according to types of requests.Interdistrict transfers will not be granted for high-demand schools, which are schools filled to capacity at the end of the first placement period. The requests also are not granted for Lowell High School and Ruth Asawa San Francisco School of the Arts (SOTA).

Interdistrict Transfers

Undocumented StudentsAny child whose parents/guardians live in San Francisco is guaranteed access to a free public education in SFUSD. Students will not be denied access to school because of their immigration status.

Foreign Exchange Students SFUSD does not participate or issue the federal Student Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) I-20 form for potential F1 students (international students with an F1 visa attending an academic program or English Language Program at a school in the United States). Approved J1 student exchange organizations must contact the SFUSD Educational Placement Center (EPC) when requesting placement of a foreign exchange student. J1 visas are issued to students attending cultural and educational exchange opportunities in the United States through programs overseen by the U.S. State Department. J1 students will be assigned to an SFUSD school if space is available.

Foreign Transcript TranslationsHigh school students who are immigrants and want to enroll in a SFUSD school should bring school tran-scripts from their country of origin and required documents for SFUSD enrollment. The EPC will provide translations of transcripts if needed. EPC placement counselors also will make recom-mendations for placement at the appropriate grade level.

Education OutsidePracticing Science and Connecting to Nature

More than half of all elementary students at SFUSD participate in Education Outside during the school day. The program transforms school gardens into living outdoor classrooms, and brings hands-on, experimental science and environmental education to students.

Students in Transition

SFUSD ensures educational rights and protections for students experiencing homelessness or students in transition who lack a fixed, regular, adequate nighttime residence, according to the federal McK-inney-Vento Act and Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). SFUSD students, pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, will have equal access to public educa-tion and educational resources deemed appropriate for their individual needs. Students who are homeless and in transition can apply for enrollment to any SFUSD school at the Edu.cational Placement Center (EPC), 555 Franklin Street, room 100. School assignment will be based on space available for the grade level, or the student’s need for attending a specific program with the support of an EPC placement counselor and consistent with the McKinney-Vento Act.

Documents for Students in TransitionSchools, agencies and shelters can start the enroll-ment process for students in transition by contacting the EPC. The school selected should immediately enroll the student, regardless of the student having the required documents for enrollment (past aca-demic records, medical records, proof of residency), in accordance with the McKinney-Vento Act and ESSA. To obtain a student’s academic records, the enrolling school must immediately contact the last school the student attended. The enrolling school must maintain the student’s documents, including immunization or medical records, ac-ademic records, birth certificates, guardianship records, and evaluations for special services or programs, for students who are homeless and in transition. The records must be maintained and available within 14 days of the student’s enrollment into a new school or SFUSD. Records also must be maintained according to the General Education Provisions Act. Students in transition can receive additional services for school (Muni monthly passes, uniforms, tutoring, and school supplies) by contacting the District Liaison, Teri Gee. Students who lack immunizations or medical records should also contact the District Liaison for support.

Questions? Contact Students and Families Experiencing Homelessness, 20 Cook St., or call District Liaison Teri Gee, 415-750-4500 x1408.

According to the McKinney-Vento Act and per SFUSD policy, students in transition are children and youth who “lack a fixed, regular and adequate nighttime residence.”This includes the following situations:• Children and youth who are sharing the housing

of other persons due to loss of housing, eco-nomic hardship, or a similar reason

• Children and youth who may be living in motels, hotels, trailer parks, shelters, or awaiting foster care placement.

• Children and youth who have a primary night-time residence that is a public or private place not designed for or ordinarily used as a regular sleeping accommodation for human beings.

• Children and youth who are living in cars, parks, public spaces, abandoned buildings, substan-dard housing, bus or train stations, or similar settings.

• Migratory children who qualify as homeless be-cause they are children who are living in similar circumstances listed above.

Who Qualifies as Students in Transition?

Enrollment Disputes for Students in TransitionIf a dispute arises over school selection or enrollment for a student in transition, the student must be imme-diately enrolled in the school where the student is seeking enrollment, pending resolution of the dispute. Parents/guardians should contact the District Liaison, Teri Gee, to resolve disputes as quickly as possible. For students not accompanied with a parent/guardian, the liaison must ensure that the dispute resolution pro-cess is performed.A written explanation of the decision regarding school selection or enrollment must be provided to the par-ent/guardian or unaccompanied youth. If the dispute remains unresolved or is appealed, the Program Admin-istrator will forward all written materials to the Executive Director of the Students and Families Experiencing Homelessness program for review. A decision will be made within five working days. If the dispute is not resolved, the documents will be sent to the State Homeless Coordinator at 866-856-8214.

Students in Transition


The San Francisco Unified School District is committed to ensuring that English Learners acquire high levels of English and home language proficiency (where available), academic achievement and skills that will lead to success in the 21st century. As such, we provide various educational programs and lan-guage pathways for students who are English Learners. This section provides a general overview of the enrollment process for English Learners. For a complete description, see the English Learner Program Guide, available though the Educational Placement Center or at www.sfusdmultilingualpathways.org.

Who is an English Learner?Your child is classified as an English Learner (EL) if when you filled out the “Home Language Survey” on the SFUSD Enrollment Application, you answered at least one of the following questions with a lan-guage other than English:• What language did your child first learn when s/he began to talk?• What language do you use most frequently to speak with your child?• What language does your child use most frequently at home?And if at grades Transitional Kindergarten (TK) and above, your child did not receive an overall score of “Initial Fluent English Proficient” on the Initial English Language Proficiency Assessment for California (ELPAC) or your child has not yet been reclassified as an English-proficient student by SFUSD.

If my child is an English Learner, how do I enroll them in school?Students who speak a language other than English and list a Language Pathway as a school choice may be assessed for their current language skills to evaluate a child’s proficiency in the pathway language before they can enroll in school. Parents/guardians should submit their child’s enrollment application early to meet with an EPC counselor and complete the necessary language assessments.

Where does my child take the assessment test?All assessments will be conducted by the staff at the Educational Placement Center, Room 100, 555 Franklin Street, or a designated school site. Assessments will be scheduled and conducted prior to fam-ilies receiving a school assignment.

Language support at the EPCTo obtain further assistance in understanding the language assessments, you may call the EPC to speak to an individual staff person. To reach EPC staff, please call 415-241-6085. This phone number will direct you to an individual staff person in the following languages: Cantonese, English, Filipino, Mandarin, Spanish and Vietnamese. The staff that provide this support include:• Lynn Kwong – 415-241-6085 ext. 1138 (English/Cantonese/Mandarin)• Tomás Beccar Varela – 415-241-6085 ext. 1134 (English/Spanish)• Hans Gong – 415-241-6085 ext. 1129 (Vietnamese)• Catalina Pajar - 415- 241-6310 (Filipino)

English Learners: How to Apply

More details on eligible programs for English Learners and classification requirements can be found in the English Learner Program Guide, available at the Educational Placement Center and online at sfusdmultilingualpathways.org.

What happens after the test?Once the test is completed and scored the parents/guardians meet with a counselor at the EPC to dis-cuss test results, program options, and support services. Parents will have the opportunity to change the school or program requests on their child’s application if they so choose and/or if their child is not eligible for a selected language pathway.

What are the language pathways available for English Learners?SFUSD provides 6 pathways: • Dual Language Pathways• Biliteracy Pathways• Secondary Dual Language Pathways• Newcomer Pathways• World Language Pathways• English Plus PathwaysWe encourage parents and guardians to learn more about how each pathway can help English Learners academically succeed.

Where can I find more information about these pathways?Please see page 24-25 of this Enrollment Guide.

Reclassification for English LearnersEnglish Learners can be reclassified as Fluent English Proficient (RFEP) students after meeting linguistic and academic criteria set by the state and district. The Multilingual Pathways Department regularly dis-tributes a list of students who potentially qualify for reclassification to schools. Schools are responsible for starting the reclassification process for each student. When a student is reclassified, the student’s academic progress must be monitored for two years.

General Education with Supports (TK-12)General Education-based services are available at every TK-12 school. This service offers the necessary accommodations, modifications and supplementary aids and supports designated in a student’s IEP. Students are assigned to the general education classroom for the majority of the school day.

Related Services (TK-12)Related Services are available at every TK-12 school. Related Services provide specific and specialized instructional supports that increase access to core curriculum and grade-level peers. Students requiring only Related Services are assigned to the general education classroom for most of the day. However, Related Services may be delivered in a separate education setting per the student’s IEP. Related Ser-vices are:

• Speech and language services • Audiological services • Augmentative and alternative

communication • Orientation and mobility

• Vision services • Adaptive physical education • Occupational therapy • Physical therapy• Assistive technology

• Counseling and mental health services

• Vocational education and ca-reer development

Resource Specialist Services (TK-12)These services are available at every TK-12 school for students with disabilities and assigned to the general education classroom for most of the school day. The services focus on accessing grade-lev-el content with grade-level peers, as well as individualized instructional supports. Each student is assigned a special education teacher (also called an Education Specialist), who is the student’s case manager. Resource Specialist services may be provided in the general education classroom and/or a separate setting as indicated in the student’s IEP. Students with low incidence disabilities may receive all, or a portion of their instruction, in a regular class and/or may also be enrolled in a separate class to receive specialized academic instruction as indicated in IEP.

Special Day Class (SDC)/Separate Class (TK-12)Special Day Classes are for students who require separate class instruction and a smaller class size for the majority of the day. These classes are offered at select SFUSD schools. Students in separate classes for the majority of the day are assigned to a multi-grade classroom with a special education teacher. Instruction focuses on students accessing common core standards through accommodations, modifica-tions and specialized academic instruction. SDC classrooms are assigned additional adult support.

Access - Adult Transition Program (ages 18-22)Students eligible for Access, the Adult Transition Program, are on track for a Certificate of Completion at the end of 12th grade. Access programming includes post-secondary education, employment, and independent living skills. Individual student needs, strengths, preferences and interests inform IEP services for instruction, related services, community experiences, employment development, and other post-school adult living objectives. SFUSD students on IEPs are eligible for special education services through Access until they are 22 years of age or complete a high school diploma.

Special Education: How to Apply

Children identified with a disability that affects their education may be eligible for special education services and an Individual Education Program (IEP). An IEP may include specialized academic instruction, related ser-vices, the use of supplementary aids and services, curriculum accommodations and modifications, and other individually determined services.

How do students with special education needs apply for school?Students with an IEP may be required to submit an enrollment application if they are new to SFUSD, entering a transitional grade (TK, kindergarten, sixth and ninth), Access/Transition Services, transferring to another school, or if there are changes to their special education needs. The same SFUSD enrollment application is used for all students. Families should attach their student’s IEP (if available) to the application and meet with a Special Education placement counselor. Most students with disabilities can attend a school of their choice. Although certain highly specialized services for disabilities are only available at specific schools, all schools have some special education services available. Families should complete the enrollment application and list any school preferences by the specified enrollment deadlines to receive their child’s school choice. Outside of the regular enrollment period, the Educational Placement Center (EPC) will assign students to schools that meet their educational needs and have seats available. Students with special needs or mobility, vision or hearing impairments and who request to be in the same school as their siblings will receive a sibling tiebreaker preference as long as their selected school also provides the special education services required in their IEPs.The SFUSD Schools section of this guide (starting on page 46) states what special education services are offered at each school. Special education services at schools are subject to change. For the latest information, visit www.sfusd.edu/sped before completing your application.

Does your child need special education services? If you think that your child may need special education services, please call SFUSD Screening and Assessment at 415-759-2222. More information is available at www.sfusd.edu/sped.

Special Education Services

Need help?Special Education placement counselors at the EPC are available to assist with enrollment. Appointments are recommended but not required. Call 415-355-6995 to make an appointment.

How to Enroll: Steps 1-3

All assignment offers are mailed to the applicant’s home address that they list on their appli-cation. If you do not receive your assignment letter within one week of the date listed in En-rollment Key Dates on page 31, please visit the Educational Placement Center (EPC) start-ing the Wednesday after the letters are mailed. Due to identity security, we cannot provide the assignment offer information over phone or email. You must visit the EPC in person and provide a photo ID and one proof of address to receive a copy of your assignment letter.

Register at your assigned school

If needed, apply for new school assignments

Receive your assignment offer letter

When your child receives the school assignment letter in the mail, you must bring the letter with you to register him/her at the assigned school within the time frame stated in your letter. Students who do not register by the deadline are not guaranteed their seat at their school. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you register for your assigned school even if you choose to apply for other schools in subsequent placement periods.

Families who wish to get a higher choice school than the one they are assigned may partic-ipate in the May Placement Period. This allows families to list a new set of preferred school options that is processed through the student assignment process. The deadline for this application is April 5, 2019, with new assignment letters mailed May 17, 2019. Families who receive a new assignment are immediately dropped from their previously registered school. To apply for the May Placement Period, follow the instructions in your assignment letter to complete and submit an application.

Withdrawing from SFUSDIf you are withdrawing from SFUSD because you have moved, are entering private school, or other reasons, please notify the Educational Placement Center right away. Cancelling your school assignment allows other students who requested that school to receive it. Please email [email protected] with your student’s name, ID number (if available), date of birth and your request to withdraw.

The SFUSD Student Assignment Policy uses school choice as a way to help create diverse learning en-vironments. Students applying for a SFUSD school submit a ranked list of choices. If there are no space limitations, students are assigned to their highest ranked choice. If more students request a particular school than there are seats available, then the assignment process uses a series of preferences, called tiebreakers, and random numbers to assign students to the limited number of openings. More information about tiebreakers is listed in the next section. Students not as-signed to one of their choices because of space limitations are assigned to a school with available seats closest to the student’s home.

Attendance AreaAttendance areas are geographic borders around most elementary schools. There are no attendance areas for K-5 language immersion schools, K-8 schools, middle or high schools. Attendance areas help students get assigned to their nearby elementary school if requested. Students are not required to attend their elementary attendance area school, and there is no guarantee that students will be placed at their elementary attendance area school.

Citywide Schools and ProgramsCitywide means there is no attendance area, and therefore no attendance area tiebreaker. These schools and programs include high schools, middle schools, K-8 schools, language immersion schools and programs, newcomer schools and programs, and the SF Public Montessori School. Citywide pro-grams are at a limited number of schools, and have different enrollment capacity.

Non-Choice AssignmentsStudents who cannot be assigned to one of their choices because of a lack of space will be assigned to a school that was not listed as a choice. These are the policy guidelines that determine non-choice assignments:• Students who attend a SFUSD school will receive an offer to their current school if there is space in

the requested grade.• Students applying to grades K-5 will receive an offer to their attendance area school if space is

available, or to the school closest to their home with openings.• Students applying to sixth grade will receive an offer to their feeder middle school if space is avail-

able, or to the school closest to their home with openings.• Students in grades 7-12 will receive an offer to the school closest to their home with openings if

space is not available at their current school. • Students who applied for a SFUSD language pathway can request on the application form to be as-

signed to the closest language pathway with openings, instead of the closest school with openings. • Students who only requested Lowell and/or Ruth Asawa SOTA high schools, and did not get as-

signed those schools, must contact the EPC to request other SFUSD high schools.

Student Assignment Policy


If you do not check the box, the twins or multiples will participate in the assignment process as individual students. Twins or other multiples who wish to attend different schools can submit different requests on their application forms and they should not check the box saying they want to attend the same school. When the box is not checked, the assignment process does not try to place the students in the same school.

Language Pathway Middle School Feeder

Incoming sixth-grade students enrolled in a multilingual language pathway in an elementary school that is identified as a feeder for the requested middle school and want to continue in a multilingual language pathway in that middle school.

Language Pathway Sibling Students who are enrolled in and want to continue in a multilingual language pathway; and they have an older sibling who is enrolled in and will be attending the same program.

Middle School Feeder Incoming sixth-grade students enrolled in an elementary school that is identified as a feeder for the requested middle school.

PreK/TK Citywide Incoming kindergartners who attend an SFUSD PreK or TK at the elementary Citywide school to which they are applying.

PreK/TK Attendance Area PreK or TK students who live in the attendance area of the school requested; and are enrolled in an SFUSD preK or TK in the same attendance area of the requested school.

Sibling A younger sibling of a student who is currently enrolled in and will be attending the same school. For TK applicants, it means the applicant has a younger sibling enrolled in a SFUSD PreK program or an older sibling at an elementary school where the requested TK is offered.

Test Score Area (CTIP1) CTIP1 (Census Tract Integration Preference 1) applies to students living in areas of the city with the lowest average test scores. Find out whether you live in the CTIP1 area using our lookup tool: www.enrollinschool.org/lookup.

Willie Brown Middle School Students applying to 9th grade who attended Willie Brown Middle School in sixth, seventh and eighth grades. This applies to all high schools requested except Lowell and Ruth Asawa SOTA, which have a different enrollment policy.

Tiebreakers

Tiebreakers are preferences used to place students in their requested school when the number of requests for that school is greater than the number of spaces available. Random numbers will be used for school as-signments if tiebreakers do not resolve ties, or if there are no tiebreakers.

Requests may qualify for more than one tiebreaker. In that case, requests with the highest ranked tiebreaker are always assigned before requests with multiple low-er ranked tiebreakers.

Tiebreakers are not used for students applying to Low-ell High School or Ruth Asawa San Francisco School of the Arts (SOTA). Lowell High School uses academic ad-mission criteria, and Ruth Asawa SOTA has an audition process. More information can be found on pages 105 and 106.

Siblings

Students who live at the same address and have the same parent/guardian are considered siblings. During enrollment, sibling priority assists families who want their children to attend the same school. Younger sib-lings can be assigned to their older sibling’s school if the older sibling is attending the school during the upcoming school year, and if space is available. There is no sibling priority for older siblings who wish to attend a younger sibling’s school, with the exception of TK applications. The Sibling tiebreaker for TK application works both ways: applicant has a younger sibling in PreK or an older sibling at an elementary school where TK is offered.

Twins, Triplets and Multiples

Students who are twins or other multiples and request to attend the same school should:

• list the same school on all applications in the same order; and

• check the box stating they want their twins or mul-tiples to attend the same school.

If one of the students is assigned to their school of choice, the student assignment process will place the other twin or multiples into the same school if seats are available. If an assignment to one of the requested schools is not available, the students will be assigned together to a school that is closest to their home and has available seats.

Prekindergarten (PreK) at SFUSDSFUSD has 12 Early Education Schools and 23 elementary schools offering pre-kin-dergarten (PreK). A list of PreK schools and programs can be viewed on the following pages, with more detailed descriptions to be found in the Early Education Depart-ment (EED) PreK Application Guide, available at the EED Enrollment Offices. Prekindergarten has two options, full-time and school-day, both with subsidized and tuition-based enrollment. Subsidized enrollment is low- or no-cost for income-eligi-ble families. Tuition-based enrollment is available on a first-come, first-serve basis for $1,350 a month. Families also have the option of applying to Dual Language programs located at certain schools. These programs aim to strengthen students’ foreign language and English skills, in addition to teaching them about diverse cultures.

Full-time PreK This is a year-round program. Children must be at least 3 years old on or before December 2 of the academic year. PreK programs are open five days a week. Check with individual sites for PreK hours.

School-day PreK This program runs for six hours per school day during the academic year. Children must be ages 3 or 4 on or before December 2 of the academic year, with priority giv-en to 4-year-olds. PreK programs are open five days a week. Check with individual sites for PreK hours.

Discover SFUSD Early Education

How to ApplyFamilies enrolling in PreK should apply at the Early Education Department (EED). Applications are accepted year-round and are available at the EED offices and at sfusd.edu/eed. Families who qualify for subsidized enrollment can also apply through San Francisco Child Care Connection (SF3C) at www.sfcel.org. SFUSD currently has fewer available PreK slots than students applying. SFUSD aims to accommodate all children, but completing a PreK application does not guarantee enrollment. If you have questions about your child’s eligibility, the cost or the enrollment process, call the EED offices.

For more information, please read the Early Education Department PreK Application Guide or email [email protected].

What is Transitional Kindergarten?Transitional kindergarten (TK) bridges the pre-kindergarten and kindergarten years. It is the first year of a two-year kindergarten program that has been implemented in California for children who are not old enough yet for kindergarten, but want to build their social, developmental and academic skills. TK classrooms are taught by a multiple-subject credentialed teacher and the TK curriculum is based on the Califor-nia Preschool Learning Foundations and the Kindergarten Common Core Standards. TK is offered at select SFUSD Early Education Schools and elementary schools. Please see the list of TK school sites on the next page.

What are TK requirements?TK is for students who will be turning age 5 between September 2 and December 2, 2019. (California law requires that children be age 5 on or before September 1, 2019 to be eligible for kindergarten, and age 6 on or before September 1, 2019 to be eligible for first-grade.) See the age chart below.Students who complete TK will be required to apply for kindergarten the following year and will receive a tiebreaker preference if they choose to continue in their exist-ing elementary school.

Discover SFUSD Transitional Kindergarten

How to ApplyApplying for TK is similar to the application and enrollment process for elemen-tary school grades. Families should complete the application form and submit it to the Educational Placement Center (EPC) by January 11, 2019. Families who apply by January 11, 2019 will be mailed their school assignments on March 15, 2019. For more information, contact the EPC at 415-241-6085.

“I like school because we’re learning. I like to do projects. I like to color with Ms. Snell. We get to do jump rope. I get to play with my friends. I like school because of my best buddies.”

All SFUSD elementary schools offer students the following: • Math and English courses aligned to rigorous state standards; • Visual and performing arts and music programs; • Comprehensive physical education each week;• Social-emotional learning, like communicating feelings and resolving conflicts; • Support for student health and wellbeing from school nurses and social workers;• Healthy school breakfasts and lunches; • Enhanced learning through libraries and technology; and • Out-of-school learning opportunities.The school descriptions on the following page have more details on academic pro-grams, student services, meal options, middle school feeders, and other offerings.

Middle School FeedersAll SFUSD elementary schools have a middle school into which they feed. This es-tablishes a tiebreaker preference -- called “Middle School Feeder” -- when students apply for that middle school in fifth grade. Families should be aware of their middle school feeder when choosing an elementary school because of this tiebreaker prefer-ence. See page 83 for a list of all middle school feeders.

Elementary Attendance Area SchoolsAttendance areas are geographic borders drawn around most SFUSD elementary schools. Attendance areas give students a tiebreaker preference to attend a nearby elementary school in their attendance area, if requested. Families do not have to re-quest their Elementary Attendance Area School, nor are they guaranteed placement in that school. Please note there are no attendance areas for K-5 language immersion programs or middle, high or K-8 schools.

Elementary Citywide SchoolsCitywide schools do not have attendance areas. Therefore, there are no attendance area tiebreakers for Citywide schools.

Discover SFUSD Elementary Schools

How to ApplyStudents entering kindergarten may apply for any SFUSD school. Students en-tering grades 1 to 4 may apply for a transfer to, or be placed in, a different school than which they currently attend.To apply for elementary schools, submit your application by January 11, 2019 to the Educational Placement Center or other collection sites (see page 13 for addresses). There is no limit to the number of school choices families can request. Schools should be listed on the application in order of preference. Families who apply by January 11, 2019 will be mailed their school assignments on March 15, 2019.

All SFUSD middle schools offer students the following: • Math and English courses aligned to rigorous state standards; • Visual and performing arts and music programs; • Comprehensive physical education each week;• Social-emotional learning, like communicating feelings and resolving conflicts; • Support for student health and wellbeing from school nurses and social workers;• Healthy school breakfasts and lunches; • Enhanced learning through libraries and technology; and • Out-of-school learning opportunities.The school descriptions on the following pages have more details on academic pro-grams, student services, meal options, and other offerings.

Elementary-to-Middle School FeedersEvery K-5 school in the district is matched with a middle school, known as the mid-dle school feeder. This was created to ease the transition from fifth to sixth grade, and provide some predictability on school assignments. Students entering sixth grade receive a tiebreaker preference to their middle school feeder if they request their middle school feeder on their application. Applicants are not required to list their middle school feeder, nor are they guaranteed a placement if they do list them; however, they do get a priority.

Discover SFUSD Middle Schools

How to ApplyStudents may apply to any SFUSD middle school. To apply for middle schools, submit your application by January 11, 2019 to the Educational Placement Center or other application collection sites (see page 13 for addresses). There is no limit to the number of school choices families can request. Schools should be listed on the application in order of preference. Families who apply by January 11, 2019 will be mailed their school assignments on March 15, 2019.

New Tech NetworkTransforming middle school learning

SFUSD partners with the California design organization New Tech Network to innovate middle school learning. Through project-based learning, students develop skills like collaboration and communication to prepare for high school, college and career. Teachers first introduced the curriculum to sixth graders in the 2017-18 school year at Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Middle School, Willie L. Brown, Jr. Middle School and Visitacion Valley Middle School, and rolled out to seventh and eigth graders in the 2018-19 school year.

Career Technical Education (CTE) Academies are high school small learning communities where students develop technical skills, leadership and career experience in a specific industry (see full list below). CTE stu-dents learn the newest technology and job skills from professionals and outside of school by visiting com-panies, touring colleges and shadowing/interning at work sites all across the San Francisco Bay Area. High school students can participate in CTE academies for up to three years, typically in grades 10-12. CTE courses are “A-G” approved, and many CTE programs result in the students earning college credits and cer-tifications that make the student a step ahead in college credit, entry into an apprenticeship or when head-ing directly into a career. CTE students write resumes, have mock interviews, take college classes, work in paid summer fellowships, and receive additional support to graduate and transition from high school to college and career.

Choosing a CTE Academy Students may request a high school with a CTE academy that reflects their educational interests and career goals. For example, if a student is interested in Automotive Repair, a student might rank Washington HS as their #1 choice because that’s where the Auto program is. Students are encouraged to learn about CTE academies when considering high schools. Once a student is in high school, counselors may help students start planning in 9th grade to create a three-year CTE plan, based on what CTE programs are offered at that school. More information about CTE can be found at www.sfusd.edu/cte and on Twitter at @sfusd_WBL

Career Technical Education

Career Technical EducationPreparing Students for College and CareersThrough Career Technical Education (CTE), high school students can explore high-demand, real-world careers while preparing for college. Students learn about specific industries through job shadowing, internships and other partnerships with Bay Area businesses.

Charter Schools

What are charter schools?Charter schools are publicly-funded, privately-run schools. Unlike a traditional school district, which is centrally managed, charters schools operate independently from school districts and county offices of education.

Can you apply for both SFUSD district schools and charter schools at the same time?Yes, students can apply to both. If accepted into a charter, students can decide to remain in the district enroll-ment process, such as the May Placement Period and wait pools, until they notify the Educational Placement Center. Enrollment processes for charter schools differ from enrollment in SFUSD. Admission requirements and procedures vary among the charter schools. Families should contact the specific charter school directly for more information.

At school, I’ve coordinated and led multiple workshops for underclassmen with the intent of educating my peers on sexual harassment. My leadership skills can be undoubtedly attributed to the education I’ve received throughout my 13 years with the SFUSD.”Marvin, Mission High 2018 graduate and Superintendent’s 21st Century Award honoree
