Superintendent's Message
Dear SFUSD Families:
I want to extend my deepest appreciation for your continued patience. I understand that many students and families are struggling right now. Everyday, we are talking to parents, answering questions, and providing families with resources. We strive to share information with you as soon as it is available and recognize sometimes you have questions that we do not yet have answers for. Please continue checking the weekly Family Digest in your email or online for updates and resources to support your child. A lot of progress is being made and I am confident we will get through this together.
Warmly,
Dr. Vincent Matthews
