Use this planner to help you figure out what workshops and town halls you can visit!

School Search

Before you begin, take a look at our Enrollment Tips - a checklist of items to be thinking about before you choose the schools you want to explore more.

• We always encourage families to keep an open mind to look at other schools that fit your family’s needs. Use the SFUSD School Search tool to check out grade level, language programs, location and Attendance Area schools.

• Check out school videos - available from November 3, 2020

• New this year are charts comparing Elementary, Middle & High schools in SFUSD. Each chart shows school location, start & finish times, as well as the services such as Before & After school programs, Newcomer Programs & Special Ed programs. We think these new charts will be a great help for families!
