Celebrating Inclusive Schools Week
SUPERINTENDENT'S MESSAGE 
Dear SFUSD Families:
This week we have been celebrating something that’s at the core of what public schools are about –– inclusion, which means we include everyone in our classrooms and our schoolyards and we are dedicated to providing a safe and supportive learning environment for each and every student. While we have made great strides, we know we have many more steps to take to reach our goal of fully inclusive schools.
 
In Community,
Superintendent Dr. Vincent Matthews
