A Word
Superintendent Richard Carranza
Dear Parents, Guardians and Students:
T
hank 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 teach standards based lessons. 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-ofschool learning resources.
As a parent of two 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,
San Francisco Unified
School District
