Dear Parents, Guardians and Students:

Thank you for choosing San Francisco public schools. Our city is fortunate to have many different schools for you

to explore.

While we pride ourselves in our diverse offerings, I can also assure you that no

matter which school your child attends, there will be some things you can count on. Our district has highly educated teachers who believe in providing all students with rigorous learning experiences that build strong thinking habits and support mastery of skills to prepare them for lifelong success. We value diversity and are committed to supporting students from all backgrounds and learning styles. Every school offers students visual arts, music, physical education and access to libraries as well as out-of-school learning resources.

As a parent of a current SFUSD students, I have been through the process myself and I know how valuable it can be to learn about schools first hand. This guide, our multi-lingual website and Educational Placement Center enrollment counselors are here to assist you with the SFUSD school application process.

Your child’s education is our priority. We look forward to serving you.

Warm regards,

Superintendent Richard Carranza

THE GRADUATE PROFILE:

DEVELOPING STUDENTS TO COMPETE AND THRIVE IN THE 21ST CENTURY WORLD

Content Knowledge

Mastery of the core knowledge, critical thinking skills, and competencies outlined by the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). Standards-based knowledge and skills will remain the central pillars of every student’s learning, creating a deep foundation that enables further inquiry and exploration in a variety of fields and areas of interest. As part

of this core learning, SFUSD students will develop global, civil, and environmental literacies, as well as financial, health, and media literacies, throughout their schooling.

Career and Life Skills

The knowledge, skills, and experience to navigate the “real world” and solve problems that arise in everyday life and in the workplace. Students will have been exposed to a spectrum of industries and sectors and had experience working and implementing their learning in a variety of

erreal-world settings.

Students will know how to create compelling content in a variety of formats through writing, speaking, and multimedia and be able to express themselves digitally, artistically, musically, or with their hands.

Global, Local, and Digital Identity

The ability to navigate and engage in a 21st century global society that is more inclusive and interconnected. Students will be “multilingual,” gaining exposure to or fluency in other languages that might range from Spanish and Chinese to sign language and computer coding. They will know how to

contribute their voices responsibly in all aspects of daily life, from social media to face-to-face communication. They will display an understanding and a respect for different cultures, and possess the ability to connect across racial, cultural, and linguistic lines.

Leadership, Empathy, and Collaboration

Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to positively influence and collaborate with others. SFUSD students will have the experience and the knowledge to lead others toward solutions and to manage the resources and decisions entrusted to them equitably and responsibly. Our graduates will display empathy for others and having had abundant opportunities to work in teams with both peers and adults during their schooling will be well prepared to lead and collaborate, both inside and outside the workplace.

Creativity

The freedom, confidence, and ability to express their unique selves. Students will have exposure to and experience in a variety of creative and artistic forms and disciplines that serve to ignite their curiosity and enable them to find new pathways for expressing their unique identities and for exploring their own skills and styles. They will know how to integrate creative problem-solving into their work and how to approach problems and challenges creatively and from multiple perspectives.

Sense of Purpose and Sense of Self

Our graduates will see themselves as filled with purpose and value. Having been nurtured to focus on their capacity to grow intellectually, socially, and creatively (sometimes described as having a “growth mindset”), SFUSD graduates will possess the grit to persist in long-term efforts and persevere toward important goals. They will graduate with a strong, healthy sense of self and the confidence that they have a valuable role to play in the world. They will possess self-knowledge and self-esteem, conduct themselves ethically and with integrity, and know how to reflect on and learn from their experiences.

DISPOSITIONS AND BEHAVIORS

SFUSD is committed to helping all students develop strong academic knowledge and skills, as well as a host of dispositions and behaviors, that increase their curiosity and engagement, activate their full potential for learning, and prepare them for life, work, and study beyond their secondary school years. While the pace and the path toward achieving these outcomes will vary among students and unfold along a set of learning progressions, the goal is for every SFUSD student to possess these capacities by the time they graduate.

Explore your school options to find out which schools will best meet your child’s needs.

meet staff, find out about services, and get a feel for the environment of the school. All schools encour-age visitors. Please call ahead and plan your visit. Stop by the school office to sign-in. Then take a tour, observe classes, and talk to principals, teachers, and other parents.

Applications are avail-able at all SFUSD schools and at the Educational Placement Center located at 555 Franklin Street, San Francisco. You may also print out an application from our website at www.sfusd.edu/enroll. If your child currently attends a San Francisco Unified School District school and will be entering middle school (6th grade) or high school (9th grade) next year, you will receive an applica-tion in the mail by October 27, 2014. You may also use a general enrollment application available online, at the EPC, or at any school site. Please be sure that the district has your current address on record.

New students and those who have recently moved will need to provide the following original docu-ments with the enrollment application:• Parent/Guardian’s picture

ID• Proof of birth to include

either a birth certificate or official hospital record. If the document does not contain the parent/

guardian’s name, ad-ditional guardianship verification is required.

• If your child is entering kindergarten and you have an older child currently attending an SFUSD elementary school, you may turn your application into your older child’s SFUSD elementary school.

• If your child is entering an SFUSD school for the first time or you are transferring your child from one SFUSD school to another SFUSD school in a non-transitional grade, return your enrollment application to the Educational Placement Center.

• For your convenience, you may turn in your enrollment application at the Educational Placement Center or at the school sites listed on page 15 on special dates. New students applying to SFUSD—be sure to bring all required documents.

5. Schedule Language Assessments (if applicable)If your child speaks a language other than English and lists a dual language pathway as one of her/his choices, she/he may be assessed for his/her current language skills. The language assessments evaluate a child’s proficiency in the pathway language (if assessment is available). Parents should return their enrollment application early so that EPC can schedule and conduct the appropriate assessments. See the “Language Assessments for Enrollment” section of the English Learner Program Guide for more information.

6. Enroll - Register Your Child at His/Her Assigned SchoolOnce your child has received an assignment, register him/her at the assigned school within the time frame indicated on your placement letter.

DISCOVER EARLY EDUCATION [information]

EARLY EDUCATION DEPARTMENT (EED)

Our Vision: Every Student who enrolls in our schools will graduate from high school prepared for the option of enrolling in a 4 year college or univer-sity, pursuing a successful career, and living a healthy life.

Our Mission: We strive to provide early childhood education programs for children in a safe, caring, nurturing environment that promotes each child’s social, emotional, physical, and cognitive growth and competency, to validate the cultural and linguistic heritage of each child, and to support families in

maintaining their children’s physical and mental health.

Our Goals:

• Every child kindergarten ready.

• Every child academically successful by 3rd Grade.

• Every 4th Grader ready for Middle School.

Our Children: We serve over 4,500 children in our infant, toddler, preschool, and afterschool programs. Our children reflect San Francisco’s rich ethnic, racial, cultural, and linguis-tic diversity.

Our Schools and Services: We operate sites through out the City. Most centers are open five days a week from 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. throughout the year. Each center offers unique programs and En-richment activities for their school community. Our program fees are based on a sliding scale determined by the California Depart-ment of Education’s Child Development Division. Tuition-based enrollment slots are available at all Early Education schools.

Programs Curricula and Educational Approaches: In order to maximize the successful outcomes for the children we serve, our educational approaches support chil-dren’s emergent develop-ment and skills through an integrated approach to the curricular content areas including social-emotional development, physical/motor develop-ment, math, science, language and literacy, and visual performing arts. This constructivist approach to learning is aligned with SFUSD priorities and EED goals, and support devel-opmentally-appropriate practices.

In addition, the EED has established skill in early literacy development as a priority at every site. Our classrooms are designed to offer learning opportunities that support meaningful emergent reading, writing, listen-ing, and oral language development, as well as environments to provoke children’s creativity and curiosity. The EED values relationship, diversity, culture, and language, all of which strengthen our school communities. Through relationship-

building and family engagement efforts, we strive to create and sustain partnerships with families that support the academic, social-emotional, and lifetime successes of our children.

Preschool Programs: The SFUSD Early Education Department includes a variety of preschool programs (see below). The EED has identified the following educational approaches for implemen-tation: • Reggio Emilia Inspired Approach • The Project Approach • Creative Curriculum • The Montessori Philoso-phy

Our schools also provide enhancements such as social workers, program specialists, mental health professionals, family literacy programs and par-ent engagement activities, gardening and environ-mental literacy programs, visual and performing arts projects, and much more.

Preschool for All: Preschool for All (PFA) is a city-funded initiative (Proposition H) provid-ing universal access to high-quality preschool programs for all San Francisco four-year-olds. PFA is currently available in 15 neighborhoods and will continue to add new neighborhoods each year. PFA is currently available in 32 SFUSD early education schools and elementary schools. To be eligible,

children must live in San Francisco and be four years old on or before September 1 of the current year.

Early Education Schools (PreK): The Early Educa-tion Schools (EESs) provide young children with the caring and supportive school environment that promotes each child’s social, emotional, physical, and cognitive develop-ment. Early Education schools are year-round, full-day programs. Chil-dren must be at least two years and nine months to apply and three years old on or before September 1st of the year they enroll. Early Education schools offer subsidized and tuition-based enrollment slots to meet the needs of families. To be eligible for subsidized services, parents/guardians must meet income eligibility criteria and be employed, in training or in school, seeking employment, or incapacitated. Family fees may apply depending on income level. Tuition-based enrollment slots are also available based on family income.

State Preschool: State Preschools are located in elementary schools that receive funding from the State Department of Edu-cation as well as federal funding (such as Title I) to provide either half-day or school day PreK programs during the school year. These programs are

intended to help ensure that all children have the opportunity to obtain a high quality education and reach grade level proficiency. To be eligible, children must be four years old on or before September 1st of the year they enroll, and the family must be income eligible.

Early Education Schools – Out-of-School Time Programs

The EES work col-laboratively with the elementary schools to build on children’s learning and development. The program focuses on the child as an individual by offering experiences that promote his or her physical, emotional, social, cognitive, and creative development. The Out-of-School Time Program provides a balance of academics, enrichment, and recreational activities for children in Transitional Kindergarten through fifth grade. The program provides a high quality, safe, and secure place for children afterschool as well as during winter/spring, and summer sessions. Busing is currently avail-able between some SFUSD Elementary Schools and Early Education Schools. Subsidized and tuition-based enrollment slots are offered to meet the needs of all families. For questions regarding fees, subsidized eligibility, and busing- please contact the Early Education Depart-

ment enrollment office at (415) 750-8500 or the OST site where you wish to enroll.

• To be eligible for subsidized services, parents/guardians must meet income criteria and be employed, in training or in school, seeking employment, or medically incapacitated. Family fees may apply depending on income level and family size.

• Tuition-based slots are also available based on family income.

Program Assessment: The Early Education Department uses the California Department of Education’s “Desired Results for Children and Families” framework. For more information: www.cde.ca.gov

For children to be eligible for subsidized services, parents/guardians must be working, in school, seeking employment, seeking housing, incapacitated, or have a child in need of protective services, and meet income eligibility criteria. A physical exami-nation and immunizations are required for each child before enrollment in the infant/toddler or preschool grade.

DISCOVER ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS

Discover Elementary Schools The placement policy aims for every student’s top choice, and we believe in meeting as many top choices as possible for all San Francisco families. Students entering Kinder-garten have an opportunity to apply for any SFUSD school. Students in non-transitional grades (grades 1-4) may also apply to transfer or for placement into a different school. We encourage families to tour and talk to staff at schools and at the Educational Placement Center so that they may identify choices of schools that may best meet their child’s needs. (See Transfer section on page 125)

Submit your enrollment application by January 16, 2015. You may list as many school choices in the order of preference. Notification will be mailed on March 13, 2015.

Elementary to Middle School Feeder It will be important for parents to be aware of the middle school feeder when choosing an elemen-tary school. Beginning in the year 2017 (when entering Kindergarten students will be promoting to middle

A. Elementary Attendance Area Schools* Attendance areas are geographic borders drawn around most elementary schools throughout the district. There are no attendance areas for middle or high schools. We created attendance areas so there can be a system of helping you get place-ment in your elementary attendance area school if you wish. You are not required to request your elementary attendance area school, nor can you be guaranteed a placement at your elementary attendance area school.

DISCOVER MIDDLE SCHOOLS

Discover Middle Schools Students entering middle school have an opportunity to apply for any SFUSD school. Students in non-transitional grades (grades 6-7) may also apply to transfer or for placement into a different school. We encourage families to tour and talk to staff at schools and at the Educa-tional Placement Center so that they may identify choices of schools that may best meet their child’s needs.

Elementary-to-Middle School Feeders With the Board of Education’s recent approval of middle school feeders, every K5 school in the district is matched with a single middle school, known as their middle school feeder.

erEnrolling for the 2015-16

School YearStudents entering middle school have an opportunity to apply for any SFUSD school. Students in non-transitional grades (grades 6-7) may also apply to transfer or for placement into a different school. (See Transfer section on page 125).

We encourage families to tour and talk to staff at schools and at the Educational Placement Center so that they may identify choices of schools that may best meet their child’s needs.

In October 2014, all presently enrolled SFUSD 5th graders in K-5 schools will receive a pre-printed enrollment application sent to their home. Students may list any number of school choices and programs on the enrollment application.

If your child is in this grade in 2015-16

this is how the assignment process will work when they are entering 6th grade

4th to 5th grade When submitting their applications, students will be able to request their feeder school, or any other middle school. Students will be assigned to their highest ranked request as long as there is space at the school. If there are more students applying than there are openings at a school, the choice pro-cess will use the following tie-breakers to fill openings:1. younger siblings; 2. students enrolled in an elementary school that feeds in to the middle school;3. students who live in areas of the city with the lowest average test scores;4. all other students;Please note: Assignment to the middle school feeder is not guaranteed until 2017. It is a tiebreaker but must be listed as a choice in order to receive the tiebreaker.

Pre-Kindergarten / Kindergarten / 1st / 2nd

/ 3rd

Students will receive initial offer to 6th grade based on the elementary school they attend. After receiving their initial assignment based on the elementary school they attend, stu-dents will have the opportunity to participate in an optional choice process. Through the optional choice process students will be assigned to their highest ranked request as long as there is space at the school. If there are more students applying than there are open-ings at a school, the choice process will use the following tie-breakers to fill openings:1. students who received an initial assignment to attend the school;2. younger siblings;3. students who live in areas of the city with the lowest average test scores;4. all other students.

All requests will be processed at the same time, and all applicants will receive a single assignment offer.

Students will be assigned to their highest ranked request as long as there is space at the school.

If there are more students applying than there are openings at a school, the choice process will use the fol-lowing tie-breakers to fill openings:

1. younger siblings;

2*. students enrolled in an elemen-tary school that feeds in to the middle school (regardless of where they live in San Francisco);

3. students who live in areas of the city with the lowest average test scores;4. all other students;

Submit your enrollment application by January 16, 2015. Notification will be mailed on March 13, 2015.

TransportationWe will provide limited transporta-tion for middle school students in cases where an elementary school feeding into a middle school is not reasonably accessible to the middle school, taking into account factors including the availability of MUNI routes as well as funding for transportation.

Willie Brown Middle SchoolOpening fall 2015! See special sec-tion on pages 54-55 to learn more about Willie Brown Middle School.

* The middle school feeder tie-breaker provides a higher preference if it is listed as a choice, however, an assignment into the middle school feeder is not guaranteed until the 2017 School Year.

DISCOVER HIGH SCHOOLS

Discover High Schools The placement policy aims for every student’s top choice, and we believe in meeting as many top choices as possible for all San Francisco families. Students entering high school have an opportunity to apply for any SFUSD school. Students in non-transitional grades (grades 9-11) may also apply to transfer or for placement into a different school. We encourage families to tour and talk to staff at schools and at the Educational Placement Center so that they may identify choices of schools that may best meet their child’s needs. (See Transfer section on page 125).

In October 2014, all presently en-rolled SFUSD 8th graders will receive a pre-printed enrollment application sent to their home. Students may list any number of school choices and programs on the enrollment application. High school enrollment is not based on attendance areas or feeders. If there is more demand for a school than available seats, a

tiebreaker process will be utilized. Siblings of attending students will receive the first tiebreaker, followed by students living the test score areas, and then a random selection of all other students.

Submit your enrollment application by January 16, 2015. Notification will be mailed on March 13, 2015.

9th Grade Lowell Application Process Lowell High School is the only high school with academic and merit-based admissions criteria. For complete information, please see the Lowell application form and the Lowell Admissions Policy document that is also posted on the SFUSD website.

Applicants to Lowell must reside in San Francisco with the parent at the time of application and continue to live in San Francisco while attending Lowell. Interdistrict permits are not allowed for admission to Lowell. Any application with falsified information will nullify any application or result in a canceled assignment.

Ninth grade applications must be submitted together with an SFUSD application listing Lowell as one of the school requests by, Friday, December 12, 2014. In addition to Lowell, each student may apply for any number of other SFUSD high schools on the application. All requested schools including Lowell should be listed in order of preference.

Current SFUSD 8th grade students do not need to submit additional documents for proof of address unless the student’s address has been recently changed. Non-SFUSD students must submit a picture ID of parent or guardian, proof of birthdate, and two proofs of address as indicated on page 10, when submitting the applications. Seventh and 8th grade report card grades and Lowell Admission test results will be used for admissions criteria. The Lowell Admissions Test will be administered at Lowell on January 7-9 and 12, 2015. Applicants will be automatically assigned a test date by last name.

Any other documentation pertaining to extracurricular activities, extenuat-ing circumstances, or demonstrating ability to overcome hardship may be included with the enrollment applications.

Lowell Selection ProcessThere is no sibling priority for Lowell. All students must meet entrance criteria to receive an assignment offer.

All applications for Lowell are reviewed, and students who meet entry criteria are identified prior to the general assignment run for the first placement round. Qualifying students who list Lowell as the first choice school will receive an assignment offer to Lowell. Those who qualify but list another school as a higher choice than Lowell will go into the assignment run. If they receive a placement into a higher choice school, they will not receive an offer to Lowell but to the higher choice school instead. Therefore, it is important to list your choices of schools by preference. Students who do not qualify for Lowell will not be negatively impacted (it will be as if the school was not listed as a choice school) and will be included in the assignment process for all the other choices listed on their applications.

All students are reviewed and identified for Lowell admissions in Round 1 and assignment offers will be mailed out by March 13, 2015. There is no waiting pool or appeal process for Lowell.

Lowell Admissions Guide-lines for Grades 10-12The Lowell application process for grades 10-12 for the 2015-2016 school year begins on May 4, 2015. Applications will be available at that time at the Educational Placement Center, at all SFUSD high schools, or on the district’s website. The applica-tion must be submitted in person by the parent or legal guardian between May 4 and June 19, 2015. Applications submitted after the June deadline or those received by mail or fax will not be considered.

To qualify for Lowell admission, the applicant must take four of the five academic subjects for each semester of high school – English, Laboratory Sciences, Social Studies, Mathematics and Foreign Language as reflected in an official transcript. No more than one course from each of the five academic subject areas will be considered. Courses completed in summer school are not acceptable.

Current SFUSD students need not submit transcripts. Applicants who are not currently attending a San Francisco public school or who are attending a SFUSD Charter School are responsible for requesting their official transcripts from their cur-rent schools for submission to the Educational Placement Center by July 1st, 2015. Transcripts do not need to be included with the application, but may be submitted separately by the July 1st deadline. Transcripts must arrive sealed to be considered official and may be mailed directly from the applicant’s current school.

Enrollment into grades 10-12 are dependent upon available capacity at the school. Students who meet eligibility requirements for admission be sent an assignment offer to Lowell no later than July 25. There is no waiting pool for admission.

[Ruth Asawa San Francisco School of the Arts]

SOTA Applications Ruth Asawa San Francisco School of the Arts (SOTA) applicants must turn in both the SOTA application and a general SFUSD application, and schedule an audition to take place in January or March by contacting the school at 415-695-5700. SOTA applicants must turn in a SOTA application to SOTA by Dec. 5, 2014 to participate in the first audition (January 10, 2015) and the first placement round, or by Feb. 15, 2015, to participate in the second audition (March 7, 2015) and second place-ment round. Applicants must also turn in the general SFUSD application by January 16, 2015. SOTA should be listed on the general application in the correct order of preference. All applications for SOTA are reviewed and students who have qualified for SOTA through the audition process are identified prior to the general assignment run for the first place-ment run. Qualifying students who list SOTA as the first choice school will receive an assignment offer to SOTA. Those who qualify but list another school as a higher choice than SOTA will go into the assignment run. If they receive a placement into a higher choice school, they will not receive an offer to SOTA but to the higher choice school instead. There-fore, it is important to list choices of schools by preference. Students who do not qualify for SOTA will not be negatively impacted (it will be as if the school was not listed as a choice school) and will be included in the assignment process for all the other choices listed on their applications.

Entrance criteria for SOTA are solely based on audition outcomes. There is no waiting pool or appeal process for SOTA, however students may re-audition at the school’s discretion.

SFUSD Career Technical Education (CTE)Career Technical Education (CTE) Academies offer a multi-year sequence focused on one industry sector (i.e. Finance, Health Sciences, IT). Students self-select the academy that reflects their interests, skills and college/career goals.

The CTE curriculum is centered on hands-on, contextualized learning that will help develop students’ professionalism and industry-specific skillset. Academies work with business partners to integrate work-based learning experiences like internships, job shadows and classroom speakers. The CTE cohorts increase engagement within the school community, help students persist to graduation and support students as they transition from high school to college/career paths.

SFUSD’s CTE High School Academies:• Are taught by CTE

credentialed teachers with a standards-aligned curriculum.

• Are aligned with one industry-sector, which allows students to learn about and prepare for high-wage/high-demand career paths.

• Link schools with businesses and community partners to offer students up-to-date information, skills and technology.

• Create a cohort of students who travel through the sequence to foster community-building, peer support and leadership skills.

• Incorporate work-based learning experiences and job skills training into the curriculum to prepare students for college and careers.

• Offer many A-G approved courses: “F” VAPA or “G” Elective (check UC Doorways for complete list by school site).

Consideration when choosing to particiapate in a CTE Academies:• Academies are chosen

by the student based on his/her interest in the industry.

• Participation in a CTE Academy require a 2-3 year commitment from the student. • Students begin a

two-year sequence in the junior year and a three-year sequence in the sophomore year.

• Planning for academy participation should ideally start in the 9th grade to map out the 4-year plan.

• CTE Academies include job shadows/field trips, dual enrollment at CCSF and summer internships. Students should be prepared to commit to these experiences and plan appropriately.

Students who participate in a CTE Academy: • Explore their individual

college/career interests through Academy choice.

• Learn 21st century skills (technology, critical thinking, problem solving, effective communication, creativity and innovation).

• Demonstrate increased academic performance, attendance and graduation rates.

• Enroll in college-level courses through the dual enrollment program at CCSF.

DISCOVER AFTER SCHOOL [San Francisco’s Afterschool for All]

AFTERSCHOOL INFORMATION

Choosing the right afterschool program for your child is an

important decision. You want to know that your child will be in a safe, healthy environment that fosters his/her learning and development through activities, projects, field trips, and relationships

with peers and positive older role models. Over the last several years, the afterschool program op-tions in San Francisco have expanded, and there are many differences among them, including location (schools, community centers, nonprofit organi-zations, playgrounds, and

recreation centers); focus, (tutoring and homework help, outdoor activities, arts, etc.); and other factors, including ages served, hours of operation, enrollment policies, cost to participants, and other characteristics.

Types of Afterschool Programs in San Francisco In San Francisco, there are hundreds of afterschool programs. Below is an overview of a few of the largest types of afterschool programs.

Afterschool programs based at schools

There are three general types of afterschool pro-grams at SFUSD schools:

Two programs are spon-sored by SFUSD: a) Early Education Department School Age Programs (formerly known as Child Development Centers), and b) SFUSD ExCEL (Expanded Collaboratives for Excellence in Learn-ing) Programs. SFUSD’s vision for its afterschool programs is to bolster school-day success and support families by creating high-quality, safe, youth-centered, and culturally responsive learning experiences that expand social-emotional, physical, and cognitive de-velopment of all students. Both the EED and ExCEL programs offer program-ming that is equally composed of Academic support, recreation, and

San Francisco’s Recreation and Parks Department of-fers afterschool programs, in addition to classes, sports instruction, and other activities, at public recreation facilities. Also, through a partnership with the SF Department of Children, Youth & Their Families, there are several nonprofits participating in Rec Connect and they operate afterschool programs at city recreation centers. These programs and the department’s other offerings vary in cost and hours of operation. Application and more information are available at www.sfreconline.org.

Nonprofit or for-profit organizations offer a vari-ety of programs, classes, activities, and extended care at locations across the city. These programs vary in focus, hours, participant costs, and enrollment procedures. Application and more information must be obtained from the individual programs.

How to Find an After-school Program

www.SFKids.org

The San Francisco Afterschool for All effort, with support from the SF Department of Children, Youth & Their Families, partnered with this parent-run website to create an online searchable database of afterschool programs at public school, private school and non-school settings. This site includes a program description, days and hours of opera-tion, ages served, languag-es spoken, and more. Click on “Out-of-school time” or you can use the “advanced search” feature to search by neighborhood, ages served, or a keyword.

San Francisco’s Children’s Council

The San Francisco Chil-dren’s Council publishes an annual Afterschool Guide that is typically released before the school year starts. This resource guide can be found on their website at www.childrenscouncil.org.

We also encourage you to ask your school principal, staff from nonprofit organizations, and other parents in your neighbor-hood for information and referrals.

sites. Applications for elementary, middle, and high school ExCEL programs can be obtained at the school site. More information at www.sfusd.edu.

Other Programs at SFUSD Schools: At several SFUSD schools, nonprofit or for-profit organizations secure space to provide independently operated afterschool programs. Most charge participants fees, but many offer finan-cial assistance. Application and more information must be obtained from the individual programs.

Some private schools offer afterschool programs or activities. These programs vary in focus, hours, participant costs, and enrollment procedures. Application and more

information are available at individual private schools.

Afterschool programs based at other locations

Several types of after-school programs are not located at schools. Below is a description of a few such types:

COMMUNITY HOME-BASED EDUCATIONCommunity Home-Based Edu-

cation, located in Room 307 at 1350 7th Avenue, serves

families in SFUSD jurisdiction who are seeking educational alternatives to the regular classroom setting. This program serves students in kin-dergarten through 8th grade (K-8.) The student and parent/guardian are required to attend a one-hour class per week with the home teacher, and the SFUSD home-based school district teacher. In most cases, the parent/guardian is the home teacher. The student must be taught the same subjects that would be taught at his/her grade level in school. The student uses SFUSD textbooks. After meeting the minimum daily time for using school district cur-riculum, additional subjects and texts may be added at the parent’s discretion. Under the instruction of the home teacher/parent/guardian, the student must work the required minimum number of minutes per day based upon the student’s grade.

You may request a Community Home-Based Education application and an interview from the teacher by contacting 415-242-5000. The documents required for enrollment

are proof of residence, a copy of the Immunization Record, copies of previous report cards, and samples of the student’s work.

OFACE DEPARTMENT Office of

FAMILY & COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENTSFUSD knows all families play a vital role in their children’s education. We also count on the many community

organizations that provide services to help our students thrive. The Office of Family and Community Engagement helps coordinate these services, and provides resources to inform, engage and empower families

to advocate for their children’s success.

Family and Community Partnerships: We work with families, schools, and community groups to build partnerships that support all students to succeed. Our office supports schools across the district build their capacity to engage and empower families. We’re also expanding our systems to connect community organizations and agencies with schools, students, and families who need services.

Contact: Ruth Grabowski, Coordinator (415) 241.6185Email: [email protected]

Office of Family Voice (OFV): Our office helps families find solutions to concerns that could not be resolved at their child’s school. We use Restorative Practices to resolve concerns through a collaborative process, and support parents to become familiar with this process. Our office follows procedures described in the SFUSD Student and Family Handbook. Families can get a copy of the Handbook at their school or at www.sfusd.edu under Family & Community Support/Parent Handbooks. A Concern Form can be found at our website under Family Resources/Office of Family Voice.

Contact: Ramon E. Martinez Flores, Coordinator (415) 241.6150Email: [email protected] Mok, (415) 355-7388, [email protected]

Family Liaison Program: Our program provides support and advocacy services for families by helping schools build their capacity to increase opportunities for families to be actively engaged. About 40 schools have Family Liaisons. Some of the services provided by Family Liaisons include: strategies to support learning at home; access to district resources and city services; training opportunities, volunteering, school governance, and establishing two-way communication among the school, the district, and families. To learn more or to see if your student’s school has a Family Liaison at their site, please contact our office or visit us online under the “Family & Community Support” tab.

[parent leadership opportunities]All families are invited to participate in the following leadership opportunities at their schools or for the district:

• School Site Council (SSC): All schools have an SSC, which guides the site planning process to ensure the school site plan addresses the needs of all students. At least half of the SSC members must be parents/families.

• English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC): Every school that has 21 or more English Learners must have an ELAC. The role of the ELAC is to advise the principal and School Site Council on programs and services for English Learners.

• School Advisory Committee (SAC): Schools that receive federal or state funding for low income students must have a SAC. The SAC provides advice to the principal and the School Site Council on how the site plan should address the needs of low income students.

• District English Learner Advisory Committee (DELAC): Every ELAC is invited to send representatives to the DELAC. The DELAC provides recommendations to the District on ways to improve programs and services for English Learners.

• Community Advisory Committee for Special Education (CAC-SPED): State law requires every district to have a Community Advisory Committee for Special Education. The CAC advocates for effective Special Education programs and services, and advises the Board of Education on policies related to Special Education services. At least half of the CAC’s members are parents/families.

• Parent Advisory Council (PAC): The PAC was created by the Board of Education to include parents in the district’s decision-making process. PAC members actively reach out to engage families in district policy discussions and to represent parent concerns to district leaders.

To get involved: Contact your school principal or call the SFUSD Office of Family and Community Engagement at 415-241-6185

SPECIAL EDUCATION SERVICES

Who Receives Special Education Services? What Is An Individual Education Program (IEP)?Children identified with a disability that adversely affects their education may be determined as eligible for special education services through an Individual Education Program (IEP). This educational plan is developed by a team that includes: parents/guardians, teachers, admin-istrators, and other special education service providers. An IEP may include special education instruction, related services, the use of supplementary aids and services, curriculum accom-modations and modifications and a range of other services. If you think that your child may require special education services, please contact Screening and Assessment at 415-759-2222. Additional information is also available on the Special Educa-tion website <http://www.sfusd.edu/en/programs-and-services/special-education/overview.html>.

What Is The Application Process For Students With Special Education Services?Students with IEP’s are required to submit an enrollment application if one of the following scenarios applies:

• Students new to SFUSD

• Students in transitional grades who need a new assignment for the next school year (Pre-K, Transitional Kindergarten, 5th or 8th grade, and those entering into transitional services for students aged 18 to 22)

• Students in a non-transitional grade who want to transfer to another school for the following year

• Current SFUSD students with a recent change in special education service delivery (i.e. a separate class is now specified in the IEP)

The same enrollment application form is used by all students applying for the 2015-2016 school year.

Families with students who require special education services should:• Mark the box on the application

indicating that your child has an IEP

• Attach a copy of the most recent IEP to your application (if avail-able)

• Review the list of Service Delivery Options below to determine those schools that meet your child’s needs (as designated in the IEP) and complete the school prefer-ence list accordingly

• Meet with an EPC Special Educa-tion Placement Counselor

• Consult the section of this Guide relevant to details on the enroll-ment policies, process, and key dates

Please note that any change in special education services must be made through the IEP team and finalized in the IEP. The EPC cannot process requests for changes in service.

What Assistance Is Available To Families For Completing The Enrollment Process?Special Education Counselors at the Educational Placement Center (EPC) are available to assist parents/guardians of children with special education needs with the entire enrollment process, whether their child is new to SFUSD or already attending an SFUSD school. EPC is located at 555 Franklin Street (at McAllister) in Room 100, and is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Appointments with a Special Education placement counselor are recommended but are not necessary. Call EPC at 415-355-6995 to make an appointment.

How Does The Placement Process Work For Students With Special Education Services?The EPC Special Education team will review, verify, and process all ap-plications for students with IEP’s. As part of the verification process, the EPC counselors will make sure that the school preferences listed on the application form meet the appli-cant’s needs as described in the IEP. Students with IEP’s will participate in the student assignment process in which parental choice, school capacity, and the tie-breakers (as detailed elsewhere in this Enrollment Guide) play a role in determining each student’s school assignment when there are more requests than available capacity.

Students requiring Separate Class (also known as Special Day Class) for a majority of the instructional day, or other specialized services not available at every school, will also participate in the student assignment process for placement into the subset of schools that can provide the services designated in their IEP. Again, parental choice, school capacity, and the tie-breakers (as detailed in this Enrollment Guide) determine the school assignment when there are more requests than available capacity.

Completion of the application process according to the timelines will result in a school assignment offer. All new special education placements result in a 30-day interim placement that will be reviewed by each IEP team to ensure that each student’s educational needs can be met at the newly assigned school. Parents/guardians should expect to participate in a Transition IEP meet-ing. In the event of a conflict, loca-tions specified in the IEP supersede

What Are The Types and Locations of Separate Classes? Although Separate Classes are not offered at every school, SFUSD strives to offer these specialized services at sites spread geographi-cally throughout the city. The types of Separate Class offered are based upon the following similar education needs:

• Mild/Moderate

• Mild/Moderate with Autism Focus

• Moderate/Severe

• Moderate/Severe for Autism

• Deafness & Hearing Impairment

• Services for Students with Emo-tional Disturbance

• Community Access & Transition (for Moderate/Severe students ages 18-22)

The lists and maps, provided on pages 96-99 of this guide, identify the SFUSD school sites that will offer Separate Classes in the 2015-2016 school year. This list is subject to change due to fluctuating capacity requirements; please review the online EPC website prior to complet-ing your application for the latest information.

Parents/guardians should review their child’s IEP to determine wheth-er a Separate Class is designated to meet their child’s needs and what type of Separate Class is stated in the IEP. Those unsure of the place-ment needs for their child should meet with an EPC Special Education Counselor for assistance.

What Are The Placement Options For Students Receiving Special Education Services?Unless the IEP of a student with a disability requires some other arrangement, the student should be educated in the school that he/she would attend if not disabled. Since SFUSD placement offers are determined through the enroll-ment application process, families with children who receive special education services should complete the SFUSD enrollment application, including the selection of school preferences, within the specified placement timelines.

Students with special education needs whose IEP’s determine that the student will spend the major-ity of the instructional day in the general education classroom can be served at any school within SFUSD. However, certain highly specialized services for particular disabilities with lower incidence rates are not available at all school sites. When a student’s IEP team has determined that the Least Restrictive Environ-ment (LRE) is a separate special education classroom for 50% or more of the school day (also known as a Special Day Class), enrollment options are limited to those schools offering that particular set of specialized services and supports. For more information on placement options, please see the additional information on page 90, the section titled What are the Service Delivery Options for Special Education Services?

assignment offers made through the student assignment process.

Families who did not receive the assignment of their choice may want to participate in subsequent placement periods, such as the May Placement period, the August Wait-ing Pool, or the medical and family hardship appeals process. Those families may submit their requests according to the key dates listed in this Enrollment Guide.

Students with special education needs who enter SFUSD outside of the regular enrollment periods defined in this guide will be assisted by the EPC in selecting from avail-able sites that meet their student’s education needs, based upon the free and appropriate public educa-tion offer outlined in the current IEP.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: What Are The Service Delivery Options For Special Education Services?The Service Delivery Options listed below describe the primary settings where special education services are delivered.

• General Education

• Related Services

• Resource Specialist Services

• Separate Class

The student assignment process varies depending upon the services required to meet a child’s educa-tional needs and the amount of time the student spends in the general education setting. Since all options are not available at every school, the enrollment process for students with special education services is dependent upon the Service Deliv-ery Option as determined by the IEP team.

General EducationStudents who receive special educa-tion services in a general education classroom are provided with appropriate accommodations and modifications and/or supplementary aids and supports, as designated in their IEP. The IEP team determines the appropriateness of placement in general education based upon the educational benefits available to the student in a general education class-room, supplemented by appropriate aids and services, as compared with the educational benefits of a separate class setting. This service delivery option is available at every K-12 school. Parents/Guardians whose student’s Service Delivery Option is General Education may list any school on their application.

Related ServicesRelated Services are designed to provide specific, specialized interventions when necessary for a student to benefit from his or her instructional program. Related Services are provided by a creden-tialed or licensed specialist in either the general education or a separate education setting or classroom. Services may also be provided by a specifically trained instructional aide or other certificated staff under the direction of the specialist. Related Services can include, but are not limited to, the following:

• 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 Career Development

Students requiring only Related Services are assigned to the general education classroom for the majority of their school day. Related Services are available at every K-12 school. Parents/Guardians whose child requires only Related Services may list any school on the enrollment application.

Resource Specialist ServicesResource Specialist Services are provided to students of any eligibil-ity who are assigned to the general education classroom for the majority of the instructional day. Each student is assigned to a Resource Special-ist (also known as an Education Specialist). This special education teacher provides services within the general education classroom and/or in separate education settings, both individually and in small groups. Resource Specialist Services focus on accommodating a student in the general education setting and/or providing direct Specialized Academic Instruction to support a student in developing the skills necessary to be successful in the general education setting. This Service Delivery Option is available at every K-12 school. Parents/Guard-ians whose student’s Service Delivery Option specifies Resource Specialist Services may list any school on their enrollment application.

Separate Class (also known as Special Day Class [SDC])Separate classes are a more restric-tive setting and provide services to students with more intensive needs who require 51% or more of their time in a separate special education classroom to meaningfully benefit from instruction. Students are assigned to multi-grade class-rooms according to their learning needs. Separate Class teachers work collaboratively with general educa-tion classroom teachers and the IEP team to plan services and provide instruction in the least restrictive environment possible. The primary focus of instruction is the common core academic standards accom-modated and/or modified with specialized instructional strategies to meet individual student needs. Students who spend the majority of the instructional day in a Separate Class may also spend a portion of the day in the general education classroom, as determined by the IEP team. Separate Classes with specialized services are not offered at every school. The types and locations of Separate Classes offered are listed on pages 92-93. This list is subject to change due to fluctuating capacity requirements; please review the online EPC website prior to completing your application for the latest information.

GATE [Enrichment]

GIFTED & TALENTED EDUCATION

Gifted and Talented Edu-cation (GATE) is planned and implemented at the school site level. The San Francisco Unified School District is committed to providing learning op-portunities for all students. Elementary schools cluster GATE identified students with other students in the 4th and the 5th grade classes. In middle and high school, GATE identi-fied students along with other students may enroll in Honors and Advanced Placement courses. For the school year of 2014-15, a team of SFUSD

educators will redesign a new system that will identify highly gifted students. In the following year, school site-based teams will consider various factors in identifying stu-dents as highly gifted and talented. The identification process may include rec-ommendations, academic performance, and cogni-tive abilities.If you are interested in assessing your child for the GATE program, please know that we will begin this process in the school year of 2015-2016.However, differentiated

instruction and learning will continue and is based on classroom assessments and within the different domains of learning and knowledge. Once a student is identified, he/she is des-ignated GATE throughout her/his academic career in SFUSD. The core curriculum in each content area is dif-ferentiated using a variety of methods that provide additional challenge and opportunities for students to perform to their highest potential. Differentiated curriculum and instruction will be offered throughout

the school day. GATE iden-tified and high potential students will meet com-mon core state standards and will think in deeper and more complex ways.In middle and high schools, Honors and Advance Placement courses are one way of addressing the learning needs of highly gifted students. There may be prerequisites for admission to these classes. Check with your child’s school site principal to learn more about Honors and AP coursework.

The District offers limited general education trans-portation services to a limited number of SFUSD’s elementary and middle schools. As school bus transportation service is not a mandate under California law, the following Board policy guidelines inform the strategic use of resources for limited general educa-tion school bus transporta-tion services:• Support choice in student

assignment as a tactic for creating diversity

• Provide reasonable ac-cess- to English Learner path-ways- from CTIP 1 areas to city-wide schools and programs- to attendance area school

• Support middle school feeder patterns

• Provide limited school bus transportation to after school programs if feasible and necessary to support the District’s vision for after school services

• Minimize the use of unrestricted general fund budget contributions for general education school bus transportation.

Over the past two years, we have reduced the fleet for general education services from 44 buses to 30 buses, and in 2014-15 we had to reduce another five buses from the fleet.

Limited Services in 2015-16The specific routes for the 2015-16 school year will not be developed until No-vember 2014 at the earliest. Once the routes are devel-oped, the Transportation Department will send the information to schools, it will post the information on their web page (www.sfusd.edu/transportation) and it will disseminate informa-tion via the Educational Placement Center (555 Franklin Street).

Although the routes have not been developed, we anticipate providing limited transportation services to the following schools in 2015-16. This list of schools is subject to decrease if the level of state categori-cal resources specified for student transportation services decreases.

Enrollment Process for Transportation ServicesIf your child is enrolled in one of the SFUSD schools receiving general education services, they may partici-pate in transportation ser-vices, subject to availability. To ensure equitable access to this limited resource, par-ents must request services on behalf of their child(ren). The Request for Services form for the 2015-16 school year will be issued by the Transportation Department in early spring 2015. The Transportation Department will provide an online ver-sion (www.sfusd.edu/trans-

portation) and multilingual paper copies of the Request for Services form.

There is no guarantee that general education trans-portation services will be available, and all requests for service are subject to the Transportation Depart-ment’s review and approval. SFUSD reserves the right to change, reduce, allocate, or deny services or service routes, at any time, based on budgetary and other constraints.

Alternatives to Yellow Bus Transportation Given the uncertainty regarding state categori-cal resources specified for student transportation, we strongly encourage all fami-lies to explore alternatives to yellow bus transportation services. Below are websites with community resources that provide alternatives to yellow bus transportation:• Safe Routes to School: www.sfsaferoutes.org• Walking School Bus: [email protected] • Family Biking: www.sfbike.org/family• SchoolPool: www.WePool2School.org• MUNI: www.sfmta.com

If you have any questions, please contact the SFUSD Transportation Department: 1000 Selby Street, San Francisco, CA 94124 Tel: (415) 695-5505 Fax: (415) 695-5759

APPLY TO SFUSDThings to know before you complete your application

[residency]

A minor’s residence is presumed to be the legal

residence of the parent(s) or guardian(s) who have physical custody of the minor. In order to be enrolled in SFUSD, the student’s parent/legal guardian must continually reside in San Francisco at the time of application and for the entire period of enrollment in SFUSD.

This residency policy does not apply to homeless students.

Definition of Residency

For the purpose of this policy, a resident is an individual who is a full time occupant of a dwelling located in San Francisco and who, on any given day, is likely to be at his/her stated address when not at work or school. In determining the place of residence the following rules shall be observed:

a. It is the place where one remains when not called elsewhere for labor or other special or temporary purpose, and to which he/she returns in seasons of repose.

b. There can only be one residence.

c. A residence cannot be lost until another is gained.

d. The residence of the parent/guardian with whom an unmarried minor child maintains his/her place of abode is the residence of such unmarried minor child.

e. The residence can be changed only by the union of act and intent.

If the parents are separated and live at different addresses, the pupil must physically reside with the parent in San Francisco for at least

50% of the time during the regular school year.

Temporary residence in San Francisco, solely for the purpose of attending a SFUSD school, shall not be considered residency. A person who owns property in San Francisco, but does not reside in San Francisco, is not considered a resident.

Required Documents

Please see page 9 for required documents.

These documents also will be required for any change of address and may be requested for transitional students entering 6th or 9th grade.

Special Situations

A student may also establish residency by providing official documentation deemed

sufficient to the District to show that s/he is an emancipated minor living in SF; is in the court-appointed care of a licensed foster home, family home or licensed children’s institution within SF; is confined to a hospital or residential care in SF for treatment of a temporary disability; lives with a caregiving adult; or has obtained an interdistrict permit. Enrollment in a particular school may be denied if District staff determine that the student resides with a caregiver rather than the parent solely for the purpose of attending a particular school.

The Superintendent is directed to outline the types of documentation that will be considered sufficient in an Administrative Regulation.

Undocumented Students

Any child whose family resides in San Francisco is guaranteed access to a free public education in SFUSD. No family will be denied access to school because of their immigration status.

Verification of Residency

The Superintendent or designee may annually verify, at the Superintendent’s discretion, the student’s residency and retain a copy of the document(s) offered as verification of residency in the student’s mandatory permanent

record.

If the Superintendent or designee reasonably believes or has a reasonable suspicion that the parent/guardian of a student has provided false or unreliable evidence of residency, the Superintendent or designee is authorized to make reasonable efforts to determine whether the student meets District residency requirements.

In order to verify residency, SFUSD reserves the right to request additional documents and/or to conduct an investigation. Because residency can change for students and their families during the school year, SFUSD may verify residency at any time, or may require proof of continued residency at such intervals (e.g. monthly, quarterly, annually) as may be deemed appropriate, including in transitional grades. The Director of the Education Placement Center is the designee charged with overseeing residency fraud investigations. The EPC Director may utilize District staff or private investigators to conduct residency investigations as the EPC Director and/or designee deems reasonably appropriate.

Students Who Move

If the parent/guardian who has physical custody of the student(s) moves to a new address at any

time after submitting the application for enrollment, s/he must submit a Change of Address form to the Education Placement Center within 14 days following the move. Students who move out of San Francisco but wish to remain in a SFUSD school shall apply for an interdistrict permit from the new district of residence. Interdistrict permits shall be processed in accordance with District procedure.

If the parent/guardian fails to submit a Change of Address form within 14 days of their move, the student’s enrollment may be revoked.

Revocation of Enrollment

If the Superintendent or designee reasonably determines in their discretion that a student’s enrollment and/or school placement is based on a false claim of residency, address, guardianship/caregiver, or any other false information, the student’s enrollment will be revoked.

Non-Residents

If the District finds that the student is not a resident of San Francisco, the student will be dropped from enrollment in the District and required to enroll in school in the student’s actual district of residence. For one year after the revocation, the pupil will not be eligible to apply for

an interdistrict permit to any oversubscribed school.

However, the student will be immediately eligible to apply for an interdistrict permit to attend an undersubscribed school that has space at the time of application, including their original school if it is undersubscribed. Such applications will be processed in accordance with District procedures.

Residents

If the District finds that the student is a San Francisco resident, but has obtained a particular school assignment based on other false information or moved to San Francisco after the District’s discovery of their non-residency, the student will be dropped from the assigned school that was obtained with false information and will be re-enrolled in an undersubscribed school that has space at the time of re-enrollment.* Residents who have had their enrollment revoked due to violation of this policy shall not be eligible to participate in any choice placement process into an oversubscribed school for one year after revocation.

*One exception to this rule is that residents found to be in violation of this policy may remain in their assigned school if (1) it is an undersubscribed school, (2) there is space and no outstanding choice

requests at the time of revocation.

“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. “Oversubscribed school” is defined as a school that was full and had outstanding choice requests at the beginning of the current school year.

Families who are determined to have violated this policy shall be charged for the time and expenses that the District incurs to complete its investigation. If enrollment has been revoked, an interdistrict permit to attend school in San Francisco will not be granted for one year after revocation.

In addition to recovering investigation costs, the District reserves the right to pursue additional civil and criminal legal action against individuals who have submitted false information to the District to obtain enrollment in an SFUSD school, including without limitation prosecution of a claim for violation of Government Code § 12650 et seq. for false claims violations. The Board delegates to the General Counsel the authority to settle false residency claims.

The Education Placement Center shall send the parent/guardian a letter

notifying them of the District’s preliminary determination that the student does not reside in San Francisco. The letter shall inform the parent/guardian that the student is suspected of living outside of San Francisco; shall list the suspected address outside of San Francisco; and will notify the parent/guardian of their right to challenge this preliminary determination within 7 days.

Challenge of Revocation of Enrollment

If the parent/guardian feels that the District’s determination regarding residency was made in error, s/he may submit a letter and supporting evidence to the Educational Placement Center Director within 7 days to challenge the decision. The parent/guardian will receive an informal meeting with the EPC Director or other Superintendent’s designee to discuss the parent’s challenge.

The meeting is the parent/guardian’s opportunity to present their evidence of residency, and to respond to the District’s questions and evidence regarding the student’s residency. The EPC Director or other Superintendent’s designee may request that the parents submit additional

information and residency documentation after the meeting to substantiate their claim.

The EPC Director or other Superintendent’s designee will respond within a reasonable amount of time to notify the parent/guardian of whether the decision to revoke enrollment has been sustained or reversed. This decision shall be final.

In enforcing this policy, the EPC Director acts under the discretion of the Superintendent. The student may remain in school until the challenge is exhausted.

If the parent/guardian fails to submit a challenge letter within 7 days after receipt of the notification letter, the student’s enrollment shall be terminated on the 8th day after receipt of the notice. This decision shall be final.

[siblings]Students who live at the same address and have the same parent/guardian are considered siblings.

Younger siblings can be assigned to their older sibling’s school if the older sibling will still be attend-ing during the upcoming school year, and if space is available. If placement in the older sibling’s school is desired, we strongly recommend that you list the older sibling’s school on the application form as your first choice. If you do not list the older sibling’s school as the first choice, there is a possibility that the student will be placed in a different school. We also recommend that you list other schools also in the event there is a lack of space in the older sibling’s school.

An older sibling will not receive a priority to attend a younger sibling’s school. The purpose of the sibling priority is to assist families with multiple children to enroll their children in a school together, not to provide a placement priority into multiple schools. Additionally, we strive to assign younger siblings into an older sibling’s school as allow-able by space, but may not necessarily be able to assign the sibling into the same program (such as language programs).

We encourage you to list additional schools in the event that space is unavail-able in the older sibling’s school or program.

Siblings who are ap-plying for school at the same time for different grade levels cannot be guaranteed placement into the same school. There is a possibility that new siblings applying for school may be assigned to different schools based on space availability. Some families, in fact, choose to have the siblings attend different schools. There is no way we will know you desire to keep siblings to-gether if different schools are listed in a different order of preference.

[age requirements]California law now requires that a child must be five years old on or before September 1, 2015 to be legally eligible for Kinder-garten and six years old on or before September 1, 2015 to be legally eligible for first grade.Students who will have their fifth birthday between September 2 and December 2, 2015 are eligible for a Transitional Kindergarten program for the 2015-2016 school year. Transitional Kindergarten is the first year of a two-year kinder-garten program that uses a modified kindergarten curriculum that is age and developmentally appropri-ate. Note: If you sign and submit the enrollment application, and your child meets the age eligibility for Transitional Kinder-garten, your child will be enrolled in a Transitional K program for the 2015-16 school year and will be required to apply for a Kindergarten assignment for the 2016-17 school year by submitting an application available in October 2015.

Twins, triplets and multiplesIf placement into the same school is desired for twins, triplets and multiples, each application should indicate the same school choices in the same order. The parent/guardian must indicate on the enrollment application check box that they wish to have their twins or multiples placed in the same school. When one twin is assigned to a choice school, the student assignment process will seek to place the other twin into the same school if space is available. If an assignment cannot be offered to one of the requested schools, then the twins will be assigned together into the school closest to home with openings as space allows.

If you choose ‘No’ on the check box, then twins, triplets or multiples will go into the assignment process as individual students. In the event that multiples are separated in the assignment process, a sibling tie-breaker will be assigned to the sibling requesting placement into the other sibling’s school for any subsequent placement period.

Classification of English LearnersYour child is classified as an English Learner (EL) if:

1. When you filled out the “Home Language Survey” on the SFUSD Enrollment Application, you answered at least one of the following questions with a language 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?

2. And

• At Transitional Kindergarten (TK), Kindergarten or first grade, your child did not receive an overall score of 4 or 5 on the California English Language Development Test (CELDT) the first time he/she took the test or received an overall score of 4 or 5 but had a sub-score that was below 3 in either the listening or speaking section.

• At grades two and above, your child did not receive an overall score of 4 or 5 on the California English Language Development Test (CELDT) or received an overall score of 4 or 5, but had one or more sub-scores below 3.

3. Or your child has not yet been reclassified as an English proficient student by SFUSD.

PRIMARY LANGUAGE ASSESSMENTS [support]

ENGLISH LEARNERSCLASSIFICATION AND ASSESSMENTS

If the Home Language Survey indicates that only English is spoken in the home, a teacher may request that a student be assessed using the CELDT if the teacher is concerned that the student may have English language acquisition challenges. If the student does not score a 4 or 5 on the CELDT, he/she will be classified as an English Learner.

As English Learners, students must receive services and are eligible for programs until they are reclassified as English proficient students.

Language Assessments Students are assessed and may be entitled to additional services if the answer to one of the first three questions on her/his “Home Language Survey” on the SFUSD Enrollment Application indicates a language other than English. If your child speaks a language other than English and lists a dual language pathway or biliteracy as one of her/his choices, she/he may be assessed for her/his current language skills. The language assessments evaluate a child’s proficiency in the pathway language (if assessment is available). Parents should return their enrollment application early so that EPC can schedule and conduct the appropriate assessments. Assessments are not timed and students cannot retake the language assessment.

3. WORLD LANGUAGE PATHWAY

A. Foreign Language in the Elementary School (FLES) Pathway (Filipino, Italian, Japanese, or Spanish)

Students in a FLES Pathway develop competency in a second language in addition to becoming fully proficient in English. Participation in a FLES Pathway results in second language proficiency that is culturally appropriate and applicable in a real-world setting.

For the Filipino FLES Pathway, the students will learn Filipino and Filipino American language and culture through a common core standards aligned social studies curriculum. In the fall of 2012, the incoming kindergarten classes at Bessie Carmichael and Longfellow Elementary Schools were the first cohorts in the Filipino FLES Pathway. Another grade will be added each year until 5th grade.

This program is designed for all students including English Learners. It also provides native English speakers a chance to develop a second language. The spiraling nature of the curriculum allows students to enter a FLES pathway at any grade (with the exception of middle school), thereby providing multiple entry points for students who wish to become proficient in a second or third language.

B. Secondary World Language Program(Cantonese, Filipino, French, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Latin, Mandarin, Russian, and Spanish)

Students in a secondary world language program develop academic, literacy, and social skills in a second language. Students learn to interact in interpersonal conversations, interpret texts, and present information in the

target language. Students may take College Board approved Advanced Placement courses for the languages in which they are offered: Chinese (Mandarin), French, Japanese, and Spanish.This program is designed for all students: English Learners and native English speakers, including students who were enrolled in the Foreign Language in Elementary School (FLES) Pathway.

C. Methods for English Learners to Satisfy the High School World Language Requirement and Seal of Biliteracy

High School World Language Requirement

To graduate from high school, students are required to complete two years (20 credits) of a World Language, or demonstrate proficiency in a World Language. World Language credits may only be earned in grades 7-12*. Proficiency, on the other hand, may be demonstrated, such that the full 20 credits are not needed, and students may graduate with 0 World Language credits. Students who can demonstrate proficiency in a language other than English that is equal to or exceeding what is expected of students after two years of high school World Language study may be able to satisfy the World Language requirement for graduation without credits.

Satisfaction of both UC/CSU LOTE (Language Other Than English) admission requirements and SFUSD graduation requirements, may be demonstrated as follows:

a. Successful completion** of two years of high school study (three recommended for UC/CSU) in the same LOTE. This includes successfully completing only the second semester of a Year Two LOTE course, or higher course, for only 5 World Language credits (UC recommendation requires a minimum of the second half of Year Three).

b. Earning a passing score on the appropriate LOTE Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate exam.

c. Earning an appropriate score on the SAT Subject Test: LOTE.

d. Successful completion of a subject matter course taught in a LOTE, e.g., Biology taught in Chinese, US History taught in Spanish. This includes successful completion of a 7th or 9th grade Secondary Dual Language Pathway subject matter course.

e. In cases where the above options above are not available, certification by the high school principal is permitted, based on the judgment of language teachers, advice of professional or cultural organizations with an interest in maintaining language proficiency or other appropriate source of expertise. This includes scoring at or above the cut-off for proficiency as determined by the district-wide language placement test (for SFUSD 8th graders only).

Successful completion of the 7th grade target Language Arts course of the Secondary Dual Language Pathway (SDLP) should have 10 credits of LOTE Year Two transferred to the high school transcript (SFUSD only); 8th grade transfers 10 credits of LOTE Year Three. In high school, SDLP students should enroll in LOTE for Year Four or native speaker.

* World Language credits can be obtained through private language instruction taken during grades 9-12. The student will be grant-ed up to 10 credits (minimum of 150 hours of instruction) and not less than 5 credits (mini-mum of 60 hours of instruction) per year, for a maximum of 20 credits. Private language in-struction which occurs before high school will not be granted credit.** Successful completion of a course requires a grade of C or better.

Seal of Biliteracy

To honor the bilingualism and biliteracy of SFUSD students, the Board of Education initiated the SFUSD Seal of Biliteracy in 2011 for all graduating seniors. The State Seal of Biliteracy was enacted in 2012 to honor the bilingualism and biliteracy of graduating seniors in California. The requirements for each are as follows:

SFUSD Seal of Biliteracy:

English: • Complete all UC A-G course

requirements for a high school diploma, including all English Language Arts requirements and passing the CAHSEE, with an overall GPA of 2.0.

Target Language: (At least one of the following requirements)• Passing AP Exam with a score of 4 or 5

or higher. • Successful completion of the 4th year

target language course with a “3.0” or above.

• Foreign school records or other official documents instruction documenting five or more years of instruction in target language.

State Seal of Biliteracy:

English:• Completion of all English Language

Arts requirements for graduation with an overall grade point average of 2.0 or above in those classes.

• Passing the California Standards Test in English Language Arts (or its equivalent) administered in grade 11 at the “proficient” level.

Target Language:Proficiency in one or more languages in addition to English, demonstrated through one of the following methods:• Passing a foreign language Advanced

Placement examination with a score of 3 or higher or an International Baccalaureate examination with a score of 4 or higher.

• Successful completion of a four-year high school course of study in a foreign language and attainment of an overall

grade point average of 3.0 or above in that course of study.

• If no Advanced Placement examination or off-the-shelf language test exists and the school district can certify to the State Superintendent of Public Instruction (SSPI) that the test meets the rigor of a four-year high school course of study in that foreign (world) language.

• Passing the Scholastic Assessment Test II foreign language examination with a score of 600 or above.

4. ENGLISH PLUS PATHWAY

The English Plus Pathway is designed to ensure English Learners develop English language proficiency and academic competency.

The English Plus Pathway is designed for (1) English Learners from low incidence languages where it is not feasible for the district to offer a language pathway; and (2) English Learners whose parents wish for their children to be in an intensive English instruction program.

5. NEWCOMER PATHWAY(Chinese, Spanish, and All Languages)The Newcomer Pathway is designed to help recently arrived immigrant English Learner students adjust to their new language and culture. At the elementary level, it is a one-year program (with the possibility of a second year as needed). At middle and high school, students may stay in the Newcomer Pathway for multiple years as needed. In addition to academic support, Newcomers have access to resources and referrals to student support services, i.e. physical and mental health, housing, and legal services.The Newcomer Pathway serves recently arrived immigrant English Learner students who need a period of adjustment and orientation before entering a language pathway or English Plus Pathway.

All Pathways share the following principles or elements: • Minimum 30 Minutes of

Designated English Language Development (ELD) Instruction in addition to Integrated ELD during Content Instruction. The district will provide all English Learners with at least 30 minutes of Designated ELD instruction per day that is appropriate to the setting and identified needs of the students until they are re-designated as Fluent English Proficient. The amount of ELD will vary and may exceed 30 minutes based on a student’s level of proficiency. In addition to Designated ELD, ELD standards will also be addressed during content areas, e.g. English Language Arts, Social Studies, Math and Science, based on the new California ELD Standard.

• Primary Language and/or Specially Designed Academic Instruction in English (“SDAIE”) Methodologies. The district will provide English Learners with content classes taught in the primary language and/or using SDAIE methodologies which are strategies designed to help English Learners to be fully engaged learners of content in all academic areas. The California ELD Standards will also be used in tandem with all academic content standards.

• Avoid Linguistic Isolation. In the development and maintenance of pathways, the district will strive to avoid linguistic isolation by incorporating opportunities for English Learners to interact with native English speakers.

• Teachers with the Appropriate EL Certification Based on State Requirements. All English Learner classes will be taught by teachers with the appropriate EL certification based on state requirements, i.e. CLAD or BCLAD certification.

For more information on the English Learner Pathways and Miltilingual Education Pathways please refer to the English Learner Program Guide.

RECLASSIFICATION PROCESS Reclassification is the process whereby an English Learner is reclassified as a Fluent English Proficient (RFEP) student after meeting various linguistic and academic criteria set by the state and district.

The San Francisco Unified School District has developed student reclassification policy and procedures based on criteria set forth by California Department of Education guidelines. Students initially identified as English Learners (ELs) are reclassified as Fluent English Proficient (RFEP) when they meet the following standard criteria. Detailed reclassification information by grade level is available at http://www.sfusd.edu/en/programs-and-services/english-learners-and-language-pathways/reclassification.

1. Overall proficiency level of 4 (Early Advanced) or 5 (Advanced) on the CELDT, with sub-scores of 3 (Intermediate) or higher;

2. Demonstration of “basic skills” in English from an objective assessment that is also given to English proficient students of the same age;

3. Teacher Evaluation; AND

4. Parent/Guardian has been consulted/notified (Parent Consent Letter).

Starting in the 2013-14 school year, the California Standards Test (CST) will no longer be administered as the state transitions to the implementation of the Smarter Balanced Assessment in 2014-15. In lieu of the CST for English Language Arts (CST-ELA), English Learners will be able to demonstrate their “basic skills” using 1) Fountas & Pinnell (F&P) reading assessment; 2) Scholastic Reading Inventory (SRI); or 3) the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) as available for each grade level. Each of these assessments may be given multiple times during the school year.

If deemed appropriate by the IEP Team, English Learners who are receiving special education services may be assessed with the “VCCALPS” as an alternate assessment to the CELDT to determine English proficiency levels. If the school’s language appraisal team determines that an EL with an IEP would benefit from EL reclassification, but the student’s disability prevents him/her from meeting the above criteria, the Individualized Reclassification

Protocol may be appropriate for this relatively small number of students.

Multilingual Pathways Department (MPD) distributes a list of ELs to each site on a regular basis. The list provides teachers and administrators with the necessary test information to initiate the reclassification process. In addition, MPD distributes a list specifically of students who potentially qualify for reclassification. It is the responsibility of the school site to initiate the reclassification process. After a student is reclassified, his/her academic progress must be monitored for two years

The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, reauthorized in December 2001, ensures

educational rights and protections for children and youth experiencing homelessness. Children of Families and Youth in Transition (FYIT) who wish to enroll in SFUSD for the first time will enroll at the Educational Placement Center (EPC) located at 555 Franklin Street, Room 100. Please contact the EPC at 241- 6085 or 241-6136. Students may apply to any school in the district provided they meet the admissions requirement if there is one. The actual assignment to a specific school will be based on space availability for the grade level or program need.

The District Liaison for Families and Youth in Transition program is Ms. Jan Walker, located at 727 Golden Gate Avenue, Room 205. Her phone number is 241-3030, ext. 13330.

What if a homeless child or youth does not have the documents required for school registration? • Schools, agencies, shelters, and

others may contact a placement counselor at EPC (241-6085 or 241-6136) to start the process for enrollment.

• The school selected shall immediately enroll the child/youth in school, even if the

child or youth lacks records normally required for enrollment, such as previous academic records, medical records, proof of residency, or other documentation (Sec. 722(g)(3)(i)).

• If a child or youth lacks immunizations or immunization or medical records, the enrolling school can refer parent/guardian to the District Liaison, who shall help obtain necessary immunizations or immunization or medical records. (Sec 722(g)(3)(C)(iii)).

• The enrolling school must immediately contact the last school attended to obtain relevant academic and other records (Sec. 722(g)(3)(c)(ii)).

• The terms “enroll” and “enrollment” are defined to include attending classes and participating fully in school activities (Sec. 725(3)).

• Any record ordinarily kept by the Enrollment of Families and Youth in Transition school, including immunization or medical records, academic records, birth certificates, guardianship records, and evaluations for special services or programs, of each homeless child or youth must be maintained so that the records are available, in a timely fashion (14 day grace period), when

a child or youth enters a new school or school district, and in a manner consistent with section 444 of the General Education Provisions Act (Section 722(g)(3)(D)).

• Coordinating services provided to the shelters and others by the District Liaison include Muni fast passes, uniforms, tutoring, and school supplies.

Dispute Resolution Process • Local educational agencies (LEAs)

must ensure that each homeless child and youth has equal access to the same free, appropriate public education, including a public preschool program, as other children and youths. Following are the components for resolving disputes:

• If a dispute arises over school selection or enrollment, the child/youth must be immediately enrolled in the school in which he/she is seeking enrollment, pending resolution of the dispute (PL 107-110, Section 722(g)(3)(E)(iv)). Enrollment is defined as “attending classes and participating fully in school activities.”

• The school must refer the student, parent, or guardian to the District Liaison to carry out the dispute resolution process as expeditiously as possible. The

Homeless Liaison must ensure that the dispute resolution process is also followed for unaccompanied youths.

• A written explanation of the school’s decision regarding school selection or enrollment must be provided to the parent, guardian, or unaccompanied youth.

• If the dispute remains unresolved at the district level or is appealed, then the District Liaison shall forward all written materials to the Executive Director of Pupil Services for review and a decision within 5 working days.

• If the dispute remains unresolved, the Executive Director of Pupil Services shall forward all documents to the State Homeless Coordinator, Leanne Wheeler.

What children are considered homeless? • Children and Youth Living in

Shelters, Single Room Occupancy (SRO), Transitional Housing, the Streets, Cars, Abandoned Buildings, and Other Inadequate Accommodations are considered homeless.

• Children and Youth Living in Trailer Parks and Camping Grounds: Children living temporarily in trailer parks or camping areas because they lack adequate accommodations are considered homeless. But, if they are living there on a longterm basis in adequate accommodations they are not deemed homeless.

• Doubled up Children and Youth: Children living in housing that their family shares with other families or individuals are considered homeless if they are doubled-up due to a loss of housing. But families who are voluntarily doubled-up to

save money generally are not considered homeless.

• Foster Children and Youth: In general, children in foster homes are not considered homeless. But children placed in foster homes because of their parents’ lack of shelter are deemed homeless. Also, children living in an emergency shelter or transitional living facility because there is nowhere else to send them while they are awaiting placement in a foster home or home for neglected children are considered homeless – until the placement is made.

• Hospitalized Children and Youth: Children who are ready for discharge but remain hospitalized because their families have abandoned them are considered homeless. Children who were homeless prior to hospitalization are considered homeless while in the hospital unless regular and adequate accommodations will be made available to them upon discharge.

• Incarcerated Children and Youth: Children who are under the care of the State and are held in an institution because they have no other place to live are considered homeless.

• Migratory Children and Youth: Children of migrant workers are considered homeless only to the extent that they are staying in accommodations not fit for habitation.

• Runaways: Children who have run away from home and live in runaway shelters, on the streets, in abandoned buildings, or other “inadequate accommodations” even if their parents have and are willing to provide a home for them, are considered homeless.

• Unaccompanied Youth: Children whose parents or guardians will not permit them to live at home are considered homeless if they live on the streets, in shelters, or other transitional or inadequate accommodations.

• Unwed Mothers: School-age children or youth who are living in homes for unwed and expectant mothers and have no other available living accommodations are considered homeless. But, if they are in such homes only to receive specific services, and intend to move to other adequate accommodations, they are not considered homeless.

In those cases in which children do not fit neatly into one of these clear categories, state and local educational agencies must make case-by-case determinations.

If you are a resident of San Francisco and wish for your child to attend a public

school outside of San Francisco, you must submit an interdistrict permit to the EPC. The parent/guardian should bring a current verification of the San Francisco home ad-dress. Beginning in January, permits are processed and approved or disapproved on a weekly basis and forwarded to the requested dis-trict. Final approval is made by the requested district.

If your student wishes to attend a San Francisco public school and you do not live in San Francisco, you must obtain an interdistrict permit from your current public school district of residence. The interdistrict transfer agreement permit is required for anyone living outside of San Francisco who wishes to attend or continue attending a

INTERDISTRICT TRANSFERS [information]

IN & OUT OF SAN FRANCISCO

San Francisco public school. It is an annual permit and must be on file for each school year. Interdistrict transfer request students cannot be guaranteed enrollment in SFUSD.

Interdistrict attendance permits may be approved for any of the following reasons: • To meet the child care needs of

the student.• The parent/guardian is employed

within the city of San Francisco.• When the student has a sibling

attending school in the receiv-ing district, to avoid splitting the family’s attendance.

• To allow the student to complete a school year when his/her par-ents/guardians have moved out of the district during the year.

• When there is a valid interest in a particular educational program not offered in the district of resi-dence.

• A pupil who has been determined by personnel of either the district of residence or the district of pro-posed enrollment to have been the victim of an act of bullying, as defined in subdivision (r) of Section 48900, committed by a pupil of the district of residence shall, at the request of the person having legal custody of the pupil, be given priority for interdistrict attendance under any existing interdistrict attendance agree-ment or, in the absence of an agreement, be given additional consideration for the creation of an interdistrict attendance agree-ment.

We review requests five weeks be-fore the start of the new school year (not earlier). First we need to make school placement offers to students from the city of San Francisco. We recommend that students who do

not reside in San Francisco enroll in their district of residence in the event that SFUSD is unable to assign the child to a requested school.

We can grant interdistrict transfers only on a space-available basis, and we reserve the right to determine whether or not to accept interdistrict transfer requests. We also reserve the right to limit the number of incoming students and establish priorities according to types of requests.

We cannot grant interdistrict transfers if the cost of educating the student would exceed the amount of state aid received as a result of the transfer.

Also, we cannot grant interdistrict transfers to high demand schools, i.e., schools that are filled to capacity at the end of the first placement period.

[J1- Foreign Exchange Students]

The SFUSD does not currently participate or issue the federal SEVIS generated I-20 form for

potential F1 students.

Please visit the uscis.gov or travel.state.gov websites for more informa-tion on the F1 student visa process.

Approved J1 student exchange organizations must contact the SFUSD Educational Placement Center when requesting placement of a foreign exchange student.

Foreign J1 students are offered an assignment to schools with space. No assignments can be made to schools that lack capacity.

Foreign Transcript TranslationsTo facilitate the special needs of overseas high school students enter-ing into the San Francisco Unified School District, the Educational Placement Center provides transla-tions of transcript from foreign countries and makes recommenda-tions for proper academic placement in our educational system.

To apply for an interdistrict permit to attend SFUSD, you must first apply in your own district of residence. Each school district has individual timelines and requirements for interdistrict applications. If and when the permit is approved by the district of residence, it will be forwarded to the EPC for approval. EPC will notify the parent/guardian by mail if any additional documentation, such as employment verification, is needed.

A SFUSD enrollment application, reflecting the out-of-district address, must also be submitted along with all other required documents for enrollment.

Interdistrict transfer students will not be assigned through the regular student assignment process, but will be held until mid-summer when interdistrict placement begins. Placement is made in the order that the applications are received.

Permits for students receiving special education services must be approved by the Special Education Local Plan Area (SELPA) Director or the Assistant Superintendent of Special Education Services, prior to placement.

If you receive an interdistrict permit, you must renew it each school year. The approval of the interdistrict permit is contingent on a student maintaining satisfactory standards of academic progress, behavior, and attendance. Based on these criteria, principals annually recommend ap-proval and/or denial of interdistrict permits.

Many countries require different years of schooling and academic requirements for public education. Some countries have 13 years of el-ementary and secondary education. Others have 11-year systems. Still, others have 10-year systems. High school students who want to enroll into San Francisco public schools should also bring their transcripts from their countries of origin in addition to the required documents. The placement counselors will translate the foreign transcripts and make a placement for an appropri-ate grade level.

2015, your placement offer will be available on March 13, 2015).

After the initial offer, you have the opportunity to participate in any of the placement periods to receive a higher choice school.

After the initial placement offer, we recommend that you register to secure enrollment at the school site. Even if you accept a placement offer, you can still choose to seek a higher choice school during any placement or

waiting pool period.

In order to secure enroll-ment, you must go to the school and register by bringing your placement letter and proofs of birth and residency by the deadline date stated on the letter.

Available School Assigment Period (ASAP) begins

on June 17, 2015. At that time, any student may be assigned immediately into a school with openings that does not have any waiting pool requests pending for the August placement period.

[available school assignment period]Students who receive an assignment through ASAP may still opt to submit a Wait Pool request for the August Placement Period as long as it is submitted by July 24. ASAP continues for the entire school year as any student may come to the EPC for immediate enrollment into a school with openings.

Please note that any school that had pending requests and were filled in the May Placement Period will NOT be available for placement during ASAP. Any future openings in these schools will be held to be filled in the Wait Pool Placement Period.

[waiting pool process]

The Waiting Pool Process allows families to submit

another request for one school for the final assignment period. Since most schools are filled after the March and May Placement Periods, the Waiting Pool request will be for any subsequent openings prior to and after the beginning of school towards the end of the enrollment cycle that concludes at the end of August or early September.

Beginning on May 11, 2015, you may submit a request for a school that is a higher choice than the assigned school. Requests to participate in the Wait-ing Pool Process must be submitted to the Educa-tional Placement Center.

A request will mean that the student will relinquish their previous assign-ment to accept the higher choice school. There will be no opportunity to decide between a previous assignment and the new placement.

Students who have sub-mitted a request will be included in the assignment process for openings and will remain active in all subsequent assignment runs until an assignment can be granted to the re-quested school, the parent cancels the request prior to the announced deadline dates, or when all requests are dissolved when the enrollment cycle concludes at the end of August/early September.

After school begins, students who have not notified the school with a valid excuse for delayed attendance, or do not enroll within the first three days of school, will be withdrawn and those seats will be available for other students. Any placement offered during the Waiting Pool Process will be final and the student cannot submit further requests for another school.

Please contact staff at the Educational Placement Center for more informa-tion on the Waiting Pool Process and key dates.

The Medical and Family Hardship Appeals Committee

is convened after the March and May placement periods and conducts a review of students who submit an appeal based on either medical or family hardship. If an appeal is approved, it is sent to the Educational Placement Center for assignment into a school that can meet the student’s needs and that has space available. We need to consider a school’s capacity when placing students whose appeal has been approved.

Appeals are granted on the basis of the documentation provided to the Appeals Committee, which is convened only for the purpose of conducting reviews at specific times in the enrollment cycle. Its members are not avail-able to talk with families regarding their appeal. You may direct questions or additional documents regarding appeals to the staff at the Educational Placement Center. How-ever, the staff at the EPC are not involved in the appeals process, nor do they have the authority to override the decisions of the Appeals Committee.

Appeals are considered only for cases where the student’s needs cannot be met at the assigned school. Approved appeals

are granted for ONE SCHOOL ONLY that can meet the student’s needs and cannot be used for placement into multiple schools.

Appeal forms can be obtained from the EPC or from the District’s website and returned at the appropriate deadline in order to be reviewed.

Medical AppealsStudents with a serious medical condition that cannot be accommodated at the assigned school can file a medical appeal. Medical appeals must be related only to a student’s medical condition and not those of parent or other family members. Problems that are common to large numbers of students—such as motion sickness or asthma—do not constitute a medical hardship.We can consider medical appeals only for students who have a serious, docu-mented medical condition that cannot be met at the assigned school. You will need to provide all of the following information:

• A completed and signed “Medical and Family Hardship Ap-peals” application form

• A completed and signed “Medical Provider’s Verification Form” that contains documentation by a licensed physician of

the student’s cur-rent, existing medical condition and special need(s). This must include specific in-formation regarding necessary conditions, programs and restric-tions that impact the student’s ability to at-tend his/her assigned school.

Family Hardship AppealsParents/guardians may file a Family Hardship Appeal if they can demonstrate that they have a unique hardship that cannot be met at the assigned school. Such hardships may be the result of a unique family situation. Extenuating circumstances can be considered only for family members living in the same house as the student.

Problems that are com-mon to large numbers of families do not constitute a unique family hardship. The Appeals Committee will not consider appeals solely based on issues such as transportation, proximity, convenience, or curricular program offer-ings at schools.

Permanent, full-time school district staff who live in San Francisco and who wish to have their child attend the school where they currently work (and have worked for at least three years) may submit and be granted an appeal.

We can consider family hardship appeals only if you provide all of the following information:

• A completed and signed “Medical and Family Hardship Ap-peals Application Form.”

• A completed and signed “Medical Pro-vider Verification” form if the family hardship is based on a medical condition of a parent/guardian

• Two proofs of ad-dress for all parties mentioned as part of the Family Hardship Appeal. Any two of the following documents are acceptable: utility bill dated within 45 days, auto insurance policy, homeowner’s/renter’s insurance policy, property tax statement, letter from a social services/governmental agency dated within 45 days.

• Other supporting documents or state-ments

Decisions made by the Medical and Fam-ily Hardship Appeals Committee are final and cannot be further appealed. Approved Appeals provide a high-priority tie-breaker in the student assign-ment process. Placement is based on available openings and cannot be guaranteed.

[transfers]Students who are in non-transitional grades may apply for a school or program transfer for the following school year dur-ing the enrollment cycle. The parent must submit an enrollment application list-ing any number of choices of schools or programs that are preferred over the present assignment according to the key dates for each placement period.

The assignment of students will be based on space availability during each placement period and assignment offers go out at the same time as all other notifications.

Please note that in non-transitional grades, it is assumed that all students enrolled at the time of placement will be promoted up to the next grade unless there are approved retentions or accelerations. This may limit space availability.

In the event that there are more requests than openings for a school or program, the appropriate tie-breaker (as outlined in the Policy section) process will be utilized to assign students.

Transfer requests will be processed for all placement periods and in the waiting pool process. Students who wish to transfer because of medical reasons or family

hardship MUST submit a Medical or Family Hard-ship Appeal during the enrollment cycle.

Transfers Into or Out of a Language ProgramParents/guardians who wish to transfer their child into or out of a language program (e.g. change from the Spanish Biliteracy program to the general education program or vice versa) may submit a transfer request to EPC during the enrollment cycle. Students seeking such a transfer must meet eligibility requirements for the requested program as outlined in the EL Program Guide. EPC will review the request based on space/program availability, student’s grade level, and student’s language proficiency and/or needs and offer placement based on the student assignment process. Parents/guardians may submit a request for transfer based on Change of Program (Language Immersion and Biliteracy Programs) by completing an enrollment application and submitting it to the Educational Placement Center (EPC) at 555 Franklin Street, Room 100, telephone: 241-6085. Requests for enrollment into or out of a language program within the same school are processed

with all other applications according to the eligibil-ity guidelines and the tie-breaker process. For students who are applying to change programs in the same school, their current enrollment is not a tie-breaker. Placements are offered during the key dates in the enrollment process.

Transfers of SiblingsSiblings who wish to transfer together should submit an enrollment ap-plication at the same time listing the same choice(s) of school(s). However, it should be noted that assignments are based on space availability and it is possible that siblings will be separated. Addition-ally, listing several choices of schools may result in multiple siblings assigned to various schools.

If siblings are separated, then families may submit either an amended application or waiting pool form to request that siblings be re-united. However, it must also be noted that the sibling tie-breaker will only apply for the younger sibling applying for the older sibling’s school. There is no guarantee that siblings at different grade levels will always be assigned to the same school in the assignment process.

No-Transfer PeriodAfter the conclusion of the enrollment cycle in September, all waiting pools are dissolved and the district moves into a no-transfer period, even if an opening occurs in a higher requested school. This minimizes disruptions and movement through-out the school year.

Spring TransfersThe assignment process will be completed at the end of August or early September. After the enrollment process is com-pleted, no further transfers are allowed, but families may submit a request for a spring semester transfer.

Currently enrolled SFUSD students may submit a “transfer request” to seek spring semester enroll-ment in a higher preferred school that has vacancies that have opened up during the fall semester. These requests may be submitted from September 1 through November 18, 2015, for any openings that exist at the end of fall semester.

Parents may submit a transfer request for one school after the place-ment process ends with the understanding that a new assignment may be offered for the spring semester. Parents who submit a transfer request

must be willing to give up their child’s current placement mid-year if they are offered their requested transfer to a higher-preferred school.

After August, if a school has pending transfer requests, any available openings that occur in that school during the fall semester will be held open until the end of the semester when an assignment run will be conducted using the tiebreaker process.

New enrollees into SFUSD will be offered enrollment into schools that do not have pending requests for transfers. They will not be offered any school openings where there are transfer requests unless they are a younger sibling of an enrolled student in the school and there are no other siblings in the transfer pool. If there are other siblings with transfer requests, then the place-ment cannot be offered.

New students who are enrolled may submit a transfer request within the same time frame as all other students.

The transfer run will be conducted and completed prior to the spring se-mester (winter break) for active SFUSD students. No further transfers will be allowed after that point.

Note: The “transfer process” is only offered to enrolled SFUSD students. Students who withdraw from SFUSD cannot participate in the transfer process.

Any families who have a transfer request that could not be granted should submit an enrollment application form for the new enrollment cycle for the following school year.

Any openings that occur in the spring will be available for new students to enroll IF the opening has not been filled in the enroll-ment cycle.

The student placement policy is designed to support the Board’s mission of providing each student with an equal opportunity to succeed. Our vision for student success is that every student who enrolls in our schools will graduate from high school ready for college and careers and equipped with the skills, capacities, and dispositions necessary for 21st century success. Students are assigned to schools through a choice process designed to provide equitable access to the range of opportunities available in San Francisco’s public schools. Students are placed in their highest ranked request as long as there are openings. If there are more requests for a school than openings, the student placement process uses a series of preferences, known as tie-breakers, to assign students to one of their requested schools.Students who do not get assigned to a requested school because of space limitations are offered a school through a process which considers geographical distance.

DEFINITIONSTie-BreakerTie-breakers are preferences used to help place students in a requested school when the number of requests for a school is greater than the number of spaces available.

Attendance AreaAttendance areas are geographic borders drawn around most elementary schools throughout the district. There are no attendance areas for middle or high schools. We created attendance areas so there can be a system of helping you get placement in your elementary attendance area school if you wish. You are not required to request your elementary attendance area school, nor can you be guaranteed a placement at your elementary attendance area school.

City-Wide Schools and ProgramsCity-wide means there is no attendance area, and as a result city-wide schools and programs do not provide a tie-breaker for students who live near the school.

High schools, middle schools, K-8 schools, language immersion schools, newcomer schools, and the SF Public Montessori School are examples of city-wide schools. A full list of city-wide schools is provided on page 24.

City-wide programs are available at a limited number of schools; they are listed as an option on the application form and they have a separate enrollment capacity. For example, the Chinese Immersion Pathway at West Portal is a city-wide program. Although West Portal elementary school has an attendance area, there is no attendance area tie-breaker for students who live in the attendance area and request the city-wide Chinese Immersion pathway.

TIE-BREAKERS AT A GLANCEThe following tie-breakers apply to specific requests.

• SFUSD PreK or TK. Requests from students who attend an SFUSD preK or TK program at the city-wide school they are applying to.

• Attendance Area SFUSD PreK. Requests from students who live in the attendance area of the school and also attend an SFUSD preK or TK in the same attendance area.

• Attendance Area. Requests from students who live in the attendance area of the school requested.

• Sibling. Requests from younger siblings of students who are enrolled in and will be

attending the school during the year for which the younger sibling requests attendance.

• Current Program with Sibling. Requests from students who are currently enrolled in and wish to continue in the program AND who are the younger siblings of students who are enrolled in and will be enrolled in the program at the school during the year for which the younger sibling requests attendance.

• Current Program Pathway. Requests from students who are enrolled in and wish to continue in the program.

• Middle School Feeder. Requests from students enrolled in an elementary school that feeds into the requested middle school. The list of elementary-to-middle school feeders is on page 22.

• 94124. Students who live in the 94124 zip code will have a tie-breaker if they apply for Willie Brown Jr. Middle School.

• Brown Middle School. Students graduating from Willie L. Brown Middle School who were enrolled in and attended for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade.

The following tie-breakers apply to all requests submitted by a student who meets the parameters for the tie-breaker in question.

• Test Score Area. Students who live in areas of the city that have the lowest average test scores (the lowest 20 percent). The Test Score Areas are dynamic and have been modified with updated test scores. You may use the Address Locator tool on our web page (www.sfusd.edu) to find the attendance area school, middle school feeder, and test score area for any street address in San Francisco.

• Open Enrollment. Open Enrollment. Students who attend an Open Enrollment school as identified by State guidelines. Applies to students seeking transfers into non-transitional grades. Does not apply to applicants seeking admission into transitional grades (K, 6, 9).

A request can have more than one tie-breaker. For example, a younger sibling could live in a low test score area and could also live in the requested school’s attendance area. This means their request for the school would have three tie-breakers: sibling, low test score area, and

attendance area.

Many requests have no tie-breakers. We assign random numbers to each request, so if tie-breakers do not resolve ties, then ties are resolved by a random number.

TIE-BREAKERS AND CHOICE ASSIGNMENTSWe process all applications received by the deadline at one time so that no one is advantaged or disadvantaged. Students will be assigned to their highest ranked request as long as there is space at the school.

Once you submit an application form that includes the names of the schools and programs you would like to apply to listed in order of preference, we assign tie-breakers to requests using the guidelines described above (Tie-breakers at a Glance), and we will also assign a random number to each request. If tie-breakers do not resolve ties, then ties will be resolved by random number.

The order in which tie-breakers are ranked varies by the type and level of school and program requested. The next section describes which tie-breakers are used and the order in which they are ranked for elementary schools, middle schools, high schools, city-wide schools, and city-wide programs.

How does the student assignment computer program work?

Students are placed in their highest ranked choice as long as there are openings. If there are more requests for a school than openings, the student assignment system sorts requests using a series of preferences, known as tie-breakers,

to place applicants in schools. A student may list any number of choices

on the application form. They will go into the applicant pool for every school that is listed.

❶ Tentative AssignmentsWhen there are more requests than seats

available, the assignment process will make tentative assignments for each school based on the appropriate tiebreaker process. (e.g. for elementary school: younger siblings, pre-K attendance area, test score area, attendance area, all others). In this process, openings and the tiebreakers are the main determinants over the choice ranking. It is possible that one student may receive a tentative assignment to more than one

school, or it is possible that they may not receive an assignment to any of their school choices.

Once the tentative assignments are completed, the applicant keeps the highest-ranked tentative assignment and all other lower choices are released and other students have opportunities to receive those assignments. We want the unassigned group to be as small as possible. If the highest-ranked tentative assignment is the first-choice school, the student’s assignment is finalized.

❷ Transfer CycleThose who receive one of their choices are given a tentative assignment. If the highest-

ranked tentative assignment is not the applicant’s first choice, the system will then begin the transfer (trading up) process.

❸ DesignationsThe system will first try to designate

students who do not receive an assignment to any of their choice schools through the process to their attendance area school (elementary students) or middle school

feeder (incoming 6th graders), as long as there are openings. If their attendance area school or middle school feeder does not have any openings, they will be offered an assignment to the school that is closest to where they live that has an opening.

In this scenario, John Doe received tentative assignments to his 6th and 8th ranked schools - Drew and Lakeshore Jane Smith received tentative assignments to her 4th, 7th and 10th ranked schools - McCoppin, Sunset and Carver. After the tentative assignments are completed, John Doe retains his tentative assignment to Drew and Lakeshore is released. Jane Smith retains her tentative assignment to McCoppin, and Sunset and Carver are released. The trading process will search to see if there can be any exchanges of school assignments that will allow both students to receive a higher-ranked choice. John Doe holds an assignment at Drew, which is Jane Smith’s 2nd ranked choice school. Jane Smith holds an assignment at McCoppin, which is John Doe’s 1st ranked choice school. If John Doe gives up his assignment at Drew to Jane

Smith in exchange for an assignment to McCoppin, then both students will be able to receive a higher-ranked choice school. The software identifies and makes exchanges like this during the transfer cycle. In this process, the choice ranking is the only determinant. Tiebreakers are not used. Only those with a choice assignment through the tentative assignment process will be entered into the transfer process.

Once a student receives his highest-ranked choice school, when no more trade ups can be made to help him or her get the highest possible choice, the process ends for that student.

This process continues until all seats have been filled by choice requests and no other swaps can be made to improve outcomes for students.

Students who will turn 5 between September 2 and December 2, 2015 are eligible to apply for the Transition Kindergarten (TK) program. See page 107 for more information.

Students who are eligible and are requesting Transitional Kindergarten will be assigned to their highest ranked request as long as there is space at the school. If there are more students applying than there are openings at a school, choice assignments will be made by looking to all the possible combinations of tie-breakers in the following hierarchical order.

1. Presently enrolled in a SFUSD Early Education School offering TK. Students who have been enrolled in a pre-K program in the 2014-15 school year where TK will be offered in 2015-16 will receive this tiebreaker for their current school.

2. Has a younger sibling enrolled in a SFUSD pre-K program or an older sibling enrolled at the elementary school and are requesting placement at the same site. In an effort to support families with siblings, the TK student will have a tiebreaker for the site where a younger sibling is already attending a pre-K program. Siblings are defined as students with the same parent/guardian and living at the same address.

3. Test score areas

4. No tie-breakers

If these tie-breakers do not resolve ties, then ties will be resolved by random lottery.

Elementary Attendance Area School Tie-Breakers

Students requesting General Education Programs will be assigned to their highest ranked request as long as there is space at the school. If there are more students applying than there are openings at a school, choice assignments will be made by looking to all the possible combinations of tie-breakers in the following hierarchical order.

1. Sibling – has an older sibling enrolled in and will be attending the school

2. Attendance area SFUSD preK or TK (this only applies to kindergarten)

3. Open Enrollment (see page 131 for details)

4. Test score area

5. Attendance area

6. No tie-breakers

Assignments are made to a requested school by looking to all the possible combinations of tie-breakers in hierarchical order. For example, a request with sibling, SFUSD preK, and low test score area tie-breakers will be ranked higher than a request with only a sibling tie-breaker. Higher ranked tie-breakers always trump any combination of lower ranked tie-breakers. For example, a request with a sibling tie-breaker is ranked higher than a request with a SFUSD preK and low test score area tie-breaker.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I DON’T RECEIVE A REQUESTED SCHOOL?If you do not get an offer to one of your school requests because there were more requests than openings, SFUSD will use the following guidelines to offer you a school.

If you are currently enrolled in an SFUSD school that offers your requested grade, you will receive an offer to continue at your current school.

If you are applying to grades K through 5 and the grade you requested is not available at your current school, or you are new to SFUSD, you will receive an offer to your attendance area school if it has space. Otherwise you will receive an offer to the school closest to your home with openings.

If you are applying to 6th grade and you are currently enrolled in an SFUSD K5 school, you will receive an offer to your feeder middle school if it has space. Otherwise you will receive an offer to the school closest to your home with openings.

If you are applying to 6th grade and you are new to SFUSD, you will receive an offer to the school closest to your home with openings.

If you are applying to grades 7 through 12 and the grade you requested is not available at your current school, or you are new to SFUSD, you will receive an offer to the school closest to your home with openings. If you are not enrolled in an SFUSD school and you only requested Lowell and/or SOTA but you did not get assigned to Lowell or SOTA, you will need to contact EPC to request other SFUSD high schools.

If you requested a language or newcomer pathway and the school you will be offered has an opening in a requested language or newcomer

pathway, you will receive an offer to the language or newcomer pathway in this school. If this school has openings in more than one requested language or newcomer pathway, you will receive an offer to the pathway you ranked highest on your application form. For example, if you requested a Spanish Immersion pathway as a first choice and a Spanish Biliteracy pathway as a second choice, and the school in question has openings in both pathways, you will receive an offer to the Spanish Immersion pathway since you ranked it higher. If this school does not have an opening in any requested language or newcomer pathway, you will receive an offer to the general education program at this school.

Alternative guidelines for non-request offers to language or newcomer pathways

Section 6 of the application form (School Requests) includes a box that you can check if you want SFUSD to try to assign you to any school in the district with openings in a requested language or newcomer pathway before offering you a general education opening in your attendance area school/middle school feeder/school closest to your home with an opening in general education. This option is designed to meet the needs of families who wish to prioritize enrollment in a language or newcomer pathway over enrollment in a general education program that may be closer to their home.

If you check the box in Section 6 of the application form, SFUSD will look at every school in the district, starting with the one closest to where you live, to try and assign you to a school with an opening in a requested language or newcomer pathway before offering you a general education opening in your attendance area school/middle school feeder/school closest to your home with openings in the general education program.

A copy of the Student Assignment Board Policy P5101 is available on the District’s website.
