November is American Indian Heritage Month - did you know SFUSD has an Indian Education Program?
Additionally, it's time to look forward to the Fall Recess! Your school will be closed from November 22 to 26. We hope you have fun plans as you take some well-deserved time off from the classroom.
If you're not yet vaccinated for COVID-19, this weekend would be a good weekend to do so. Remember it takes two weeks after you receive the second Pfizer vaccine in order for you to be fully vaccinated (just in time for those holiday gatherings!). Getting vaccinated is the best way to protect your loved ones and yourself from COVID-19. Learn more about vaccinations and where to get them.
SFUSD is happy to bring you resources, information, and news every month through the High School Student Newsletter. Read all of the past issues on SFUSD.edu. Please reach out with your input at newsline@sfusd.edu if you have any suggestions or comments about the SFUSD High School Student Newsletter –– we welcome your ideas.

Tips for Applying to CSUs
Some CSUs are more competitive than others. Consider applying to a range of schools in the CSU system; most of them allow you to apply undeclared (a great alternative if you don’t know what your major will be). Hint: CSU East Bay and San Francisco State University give priority to SFUSD students. |
