Superintendent's Message
Dear SFUSD Families,
We are excited to celebrate the milestone of welcoming our youngest learners back into school buildings. Thank you for the care and support that you are providing your child as we continue to navigate unprecedented times. No matter if you are learning in-person or staying in distance learning for now, your students are important members of their classroom and school communities. At SFUSD we remain committed to a full return to in-person learning for the Fall 2021 semester as long as public health guidance allows it. We are excited to share the upcoming resources and opportunities below. Thank you for your continued partnership.
Sincerely,
Dr. Vincent Matthews

SFUSD has committed to welcoming all students for full in-person learning five days a week next school year starting August 16 as public health conditions allow.
