Superintendent's Message
Dear SFUSD Families:
This month we are celebrating our graduates, and extending extra appreciation for the amazing teachers, nurses, principals, student nutrition service providers and so many others who are an essential part of our SFUSD community. I am so proud of our collective creativity and resilience as we continue to navigate this challenging time.
We remain committed to a full return to in-person learning for the fall semester as long as public health guidance allows it, and will share information with you as soon as we are able. Thank you for your ongoing partnership. Please continue to read our monthly family newsletter for information and inspiration.
Warmly,
Dr. Vincent Matthews

Congratulations to Our 2021 Anti-Smoking/Vaping PSA Winners!
Each year, the SFUSD Tobacco Use Prevention Education Program, under the guidance of the Student Health Advisory Board, holds a Public Service Announcement contest to make their peers and school communities aware of the importance of being tobacco and vape free. With that effort, the use of tobacco products among SFUSD elementary, middle, and high school students has decreased over the past years.
