For more than 12 years, Parents for Public Schools – San Francisco has been assisting families and working to ensure quality public schools for all children in our city. We help parents at each stage of the journey, from introducing them to the enrollment lottery process, to developing parent leaders in the schools and at the district, to improving systems at SFUSD and much more.
We provide essential support to all families in every community across our city, and we work to ensure that the full range of parent voices is part of policy-making at the District and Board of Education. Read more >

What is Happening Now |
Psst - its no secret. The most valuable tip you'll receive all season.
Each year we educate 1000+ families on their San Francisco public school options and the enrollment process. This year, our School Governance program expanded to 15 schools and 3 branch library locations, engaging parents as school leaders. And for the past 14 years, we have been connecting all San Franciscans, building a broad base of community support for public education.
But don’t take our word for it, listen to the voices of those who have been directly touched by PPS-SF.
Now more than ever, we need your financial support to engage, educate and connect families to build stronger schools. But we can’t do all this great work without your support. Please donate to our Annual Campaign today.

Tips from Parents |
Jose Ortega shares success tips for their Annual Walk-a-thon
“The distance from San Francisco to San Diego is 502 miles. Last year, our kids walked enough to get there and beyond! Their combined little feet walked/ran a total of 721 miles – which would take them all the way to Mexico – and earned quite a bit of revenue for our school, as well!â€
Read more great ideas and tips happening at other schools.
If your school has a tip to share with other public school parents, let us know and we will feature on our website.
