I hope you and your family are enjoying the summer break and taking the time to relax. As we get closer to the beginning of the new school year next month, we want to share some reminders about our health requirements for students and our upcoming enrollment application periods for families who still need to enroll their students for the 2024-25 school year. We also want to provide you with updates about our Resource Alignment Initiative (RAI), our budget, and our Bond Program. Lastly, we want to celebrate more of our learning bright spots in SFUSD schools. Please keep reading this month’s newsletter for information about these topics and more.
We look forward to welcoming you back to school on Monday, Aug. 19!
In community,
Dr. Wayne

SFUSD's Mission Bay School is being delivered by the 2016 Proposition A Bond program. The school addresses a gap in school options in the high-growth neighborhood, with 30% of homes in the area being designated as affordable housing units. The 2024 Bond proposal puts forward significant renovations and targeted facility upgrades. The proposal also invests in healthy meals for students, technology and network improvements, outdoor learning spaces, and safe school buildings. |

“I like hearing the stories of our families; I resonate a lot with them because I too was a migrant family. Doing a 360 now and working with them and alongside them has been really influential in my life. Giving them the space to feel welcome and giving them the tools to succeed is really important.”
-Brenda Sandoval Moreno, Community Relations Specialist, Parent Liaison
(interviewed at the Summer Migrant Education program)
