A Word
Superintendent Richard Carranza
Dear Parents, Guardians and Students:
T
hank you for choosing San Francisco
public schools. Our city is fortunate to
have many different schools for you
to explore.
While we pride ourselves in our diverse
offerings, I can also assure you that no
matter which school your child attends,
there will be some things you can count on.
Our district has highly educated teachers
who teach standards based lessons. We value diversity and are
committed to supporting students from all backgrounds and
learning styles. Every school offers students visual arts, music,
physical education and access to libraries as well as out-ofschool learning resources.
As a parent of two SFUSD students, I have been through the
process myself and I know how valuable it can be to learn
about schools first hand. This guide, our multi-lingual website
and Educational Placement Center enrollment counselors are
here to assist you with the SFUSD school application process.
Your child’s education is our priority. We look forward to serving
you.
Warm regards,
San Francisco Unified
School District

This handbook will guide
you through the steps for
applying and enrolling
in San Francisco public
schools. We offer you
details about how to:
Discover your school
options and decide which
schools to list on your
application. Apply to San
Francisco public schools
and understand the
policies that will govern
how we process your
application and make a
school placement. Enroll
in a school based on your
placement.
Our schools offer:
ACADEMIC
INSTRUCTION:
TRANSITIONING TO THE
NEW COMMON CORE
CURRICULUM
To truly prepare students
for future success in
career and/or college,
classroom learning
needs to emphasize
problem-solving, critical
thinking, collaboration,
and creativity. The new
Common Core State
Standards emphasize
these skills and the
importance of students
really understanding key
concepts. The standards
are designed to help
students navigate our
changing world, to live in
a multimedia world and
to distinguish fact from
fiction. Teachers in our
schools are transitioning
to using the new Common
Core content standards.
By 2015, every teacher
will have participated in
training and students will
be taking new kinds of
tests -- called “smarter
balanced assessments” –
that will measure how well
students are learning the
new content standards.
TECHNOLOGY:
ENHANCING STUDENT
LEARNING
STUDENT SUPPORT
SERVICES: SOCIAL AND
EMOTIONAL SUPPORT
Technology is enhancing
the way teachers teach
and students learn. Now
thanks to collaboration
with community
organizations and support
from businesses, more
students have access to
technology, including
sixth graders at our
comprehensive middle
schools who will be using
personal computing
devices such as iPads
during math and science
classes.
Inevitably some students
face academic or personal
challenges, and our school
staff and community
agencies who work
with our schools are
there to help. We have
school nurses and social
workers at least part
time at every school and
all of our high schools
have Wellness Centers.
After school programs
provide opportunities for
students to continue their
learning and get help with
homework.
PHYSICAL EDUCATION:
MORE ACTIVE PE TIME
IN ELEMENTARY
SCHOOL SAFETY:
RESTORATIVE PRACTICES
FOSTER A POSITIVE
SCHOOL CLIMATE
Enroll
lacement
PPlacement
Policy
At every grade level
students learn skills that
help them to get along
with others and resolve
conflicts peacefully.
SFUSD schools use
restorative practices that
promote strengthened
relationships and
community building,
provide meaningful
opportunities for students
to hold themselves
accountable for their
actions, and support
students to take
responsibility for making
their school community
a safe and nurturing
environment.

A healthy diet is essential
for success in school and
in life. For school meals
we offer freshly prepared
nutrient-rich foods that
promote healthy growth
and development.
Breakfast is available every
day and, at many middle
and high schools, students
can grab food on their way
to their first class. Included
with each lunch is a ‘Family
Style’ vegetable option,
similar to a salad bar,
that students can serve
themselves.
As parents/families you
can expect to be informed
about your child’s progress
in school. There are many
opportunities for you
to participate in your
child’s education both at
your child’s school and
district-wide. In addition to
attending parent teacher
conferences and schoolwide events, we encourage
you to consider being
a part of a governance
group at your school such
as the School Site Council
or the English Language
Advisory Committee. If
you’re interested in being
part of a district-wide
parent group, there are
many options.
This year funding from
the voter-approved Public
Education Enrichment
Fund (PEEF) is helping us
to double the number
of visiting artists for
elementary schools.
Every elementary 4th
and 5th grade student
will participate in a music
instrument program,
and all middle and high
schools will offer daily
classes in the visual and
performing arts.
Discover
iscover
NUTRITION: GRAB-NGO BREAKFASTS AND
HEALTHY LUNCHES
Students participate in
physical education (PE) at
school from kindergarten
to 10th grade. While
middle and high schools
have specialized PE
teachers, elementary
school teachers are
responsible for teaching
PE along with all other
subjects. Now, with
funding from the voter
approved Public Education
Enrichment Fund (PEEF),
twice as many elementary
school students will
benefit from PE specialists
who will help ensure that
elementary students
receive high quality PE
instruction.

The language assessments
evaluate a child’s
proficiency in the pathway
language (if assessment is
available). Parents should
return their enrollment

Curricula and Educational
Approaches: In order to
maximize the successful
outcomes for the children
we serve, our educational
approaches support children’s emergent development and skills through an
integrated approach to the
curriculum content areas,
including social/emotional
development, physical/
motor development, Math,
Sciences, language, visual
and performing arts. This
constructivist approach
to learning is aligned with
SFUSD and EED goals
and priorities and developmentally appropriate
practices.
In addition, the EED has
established skill in early
literacy development
as a priority at every
site. Our classrooms are
designed to offer learning
environments that support
meaningful emergent
reading, writing, listening, and oral language
development, as well
as to provoke children’s
creativity and curiosity. The
EED values relationship,
diversity, culture, and
language, all of which
strengthen our school
communities. Through
relationship-building and
family engagement efforts,
we strive to create and
sustain partnerships with
families that support the
academic, social/emotional
and life-time successes of
our children.
Preschool Programs: The
SFUSD Early Education
Department includes
a variety of preschool
programs (see below).

The placement policy aims for every
student’s top choice, and we believe
in meeting as many top choices
as possible for all San Francisco
families. Students entering Kindergarten have an opportunity to apply
for any SFUSD school. Students in
non-transitional grades (grades 1-4)
may also apply to transfer or for
placement into a different school.
We encourage families to tour and
talk to staff at schools and at the
Educational Placement Center so
that they may identify choices of
schools that may best meet their
child’s needs. (See Transfer section
on page 111)
Submit your enrollment application

throughout the district. There are no attendance areas for middle or high schools.
We created attendance areas so there can be a system of helping you get placement in your elementary attendance area school if you wish. You are not required
to request your elementary attendance area school, nor can you be guaranteed a
placement at your elementary attendance area school.

in meeting as many top choices

on page 115).
In November 2013, all presently enrolled SFUSD 8th graders will receive
a pre-printed enrollment application
sent to their home. Students may
list any number of school choices
and programs on the enrollment
application. High school enrollment
is not based on attendance areas
or feeders. If there is more demand
for a school than available seats, a

Siblings of attending students will

9th Grade Lowell
Application Process
Lowell High School is the only
high school with academic and
merit-based admissions criteria. For
complete information, please see
the Lowell application form and the
Lowell Admissions Policy document
that is also posted on the SFUSD
website.
Applicants to Lowell must reside in
San Francisco with the parent at the
time of application and continue to
live in San Francisco while attending
Lowell. Interdistrict permits are not
allowed for admission to Lowell. Any
application with falsified information
will nullify any application or result
Current SFUSD 8th grade students
do not need to submit additional
documents for proof of address
unless the student’s address has
been recently changed. Non-SFUSD
students must submit a picture
ID of parent or guardian, proof of
birthdate, and two proofs of address
as indicated on page 10, when
submitting the applications. Seventh
and 8th grade report card grades
and CST/STAR test results will be
used for admissions criteria. Current
SFUSD students who have taken
the 7th grade STAR test will not be
eligible to take the Lowell Admissions Test. Non-SFUSD students or
any current student that did not take
the 7th grade STAR test in another
California public school must sign up
to take the Lowell Admissions Test
that will be administered at Lowell
on Wednesday, January 8, 2014 or
Saturday, January 11, 2014. Sign up
on the Lowell application form to
reserve a space for the test.
Any other documentation pertaining
to extracurricular activities, extenuating circumstances, or demonstrating
ability to overcome hardship may
be included with the enrollment
applications.
Lowell Selection Process
There is no sibling priority for Lowell.
All students must meet entrance
criteria to receive an assignment
offer.
To qualify for Lowell admission, the
applicant must take four of the five
academic subjects for each semester
of high school – English, Laboratory
Sciences, Social Studies, Mathematics
and Foreign Language as reflected
in an official transcript. No more
than one course from each of the
five academic subject areas will be
considered. Courses completed in

is no waiting pool or appeal process
for SOTA, however students may
re-audition at the school’s discretion.

PPlacement
Policy
Enrollment into grades 10-12 are
dependent upon available capacity
at the school. Students who meet
eligibility requirements for admission
be sent an assignment offer to Lowell
no later than July 25. There is no
waiting pool for admission.
Ruth Asawa San Francisco School of
the Arts (SOTA) applicants must turn
in both the SOTA application and
a general SFUSD application, and
schedule an audition to take place
in January or March by contacting
the school at 415-695-5700. SOTA
applicants must turn in a SOTA
application to SOTA by Dec. 6, 2013
to participate in the first audition
and the first placement round, or
by Feb. 14, 2014, to participate in
the second audition and second
placement round. Applicants must
also turn in the general SFUSD
application by January 21, 2014.
SOTA should be listed on the general
application in the correct order of
preference. All applications for SOTA
are reviewed and students who
have qualified for SOTA through
the audition process are identified
prior to the general assignment
run for the first placement run.
Qualifying students who list SOTA
as the first choice school will receive
an assignment offer to SOTA. Those
who qualify but list another school
as a higher choice than SOTA will
go into the assignment run. If they
receive a placement into a higher
choice school, they will not receive
an offer to SOTA but to the higher
choice school instead. Therefore, it is
important to list choices of schools
by preference. Students who do
not qualify for SOTA will not be
negatively impacted (it will be as if
the school was not listed as a choice
school) and will be included in the
assignment process for all the other
choices listed on their applications.
Enroll
Current SFUSD students need not
submit transcripts. Applicants who
are not currently attending a San
Francisco public school or who are
attending a SFUSD Charter School
are responsible for requesting their
official transcripts from their current schools for submission to the
Educational Placement Center by July
1st, 2014. Transcripts do not need to
be included with the application, but
may be submitted separately by the
July 1st deadline. Transcripts must
arrive sealed to be considered official
and may be mailed directly from the
applicant’s current school.

Engagement helps coordinate these services, and provides resources to inform, engage and empower families
to advocate for their children’s success.
Family Liaison Program: Our
program provides support and
advocacy services for families by
helping schools build their capacity
to increase opportunities for families
to be actively engaged. Some of the
services provided by Family Liaisons
include: strategies to support
learning at home; access to district
resources and city services; training
opportunities, volunteering, school
governance, and establishing twoway communication among the
school, the district, and families. To
learn more or to see if your student’s
school has a Family Liaison at their
site, please contact our office or
visit us online under the “Family
Resources” tab.

All families are invited to participate in the following leadership opportunities at their schools or for the district:
• School Site Council (SSC): All schools have an SSC, which guides the site planning process to ensure the school
site plan addresses the needs of all students. At least half of the SSC members must be parents/families.
• English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC): Every school that has 21 or more English Learners must have an
ELAC. The role of the ELAC is to advise the principal and School Site Council on programs and services for English
Learners.
• School Advisory Committee (SAC): Schools that receive federal or state funding for low income students must
have a SAC. The SAC provides advice to the principal and the School Site Council on how the site plan should
address the needs of low income students.
• District English Learner Advisory Committee (DELAC): Every ELAC is invited to send representatives to the
DELAC. The DELAC provides recommendations to the District on ways to improve programs and services for
English Learners.
• Community Advisory Committee for Special Education (CAC-SPED): State law requires every district to have
a Community Advisory Committee for Special Education. The CAC advocates for effective Special Education
programs and services, and advises the Board of Education on policies related to Special Education services. At
least half of the CAC’s members are parents/families.
• Parent Advisory Council (PAC): The PAC was created by the Board of Education to include parents in the district’s
decision-making process. PAC members actively reach out to engage families in district policy discussions and to
represent parent concerns to district leaders.

Enrollment Services for families
Enrollment Process
Special Education Counselors at the Educational
Placement Center (EPC)
are available to assist
parents/guardians of
children with special
education needs with the
entire enrollment process,
whether their child is new
to SFUSD or already attending an SFUSD school.
EPC is located at 555
Franklin Street (at McAllister) in Room 100, and
is open Monday through
Friday from 8:00 a.m. to
4:30 p.m. Appointments
with a Special Education
placement counselor are
recommended but are not

Individual Education
Program (IEP)
Children identified with a
disability that adversely
affects their education
may be determined as
eligible for special education services through an
Individual Education
Program (IEP). This educational plan is developed
by a team that includes:
parents/guardians, teachers, administrators, and
other special education
service providers. An
IEP may include special
education instruction,
related services, the use
of supplementary aids
and services, curriculum
accommodations and
modifications and a range
of other services.
Placement Options
for Special Education
Students
Unless the IEP of a student
with a disability requires
some other arrangement,
the student should be
educated in the school
that he/she would attend
if not disabled. Since
SFUSD placement offers
are determined through
the enrollment application
process, families with children who receive special
education services should
complete the SFUSD
enrollment application,
including the selection of
school preferences, within
the specified placement
periods.
The majority of students
with special education
needs can be served at
any school within SFUSD.
Certain highly specialized
and evidence-based
services for particular
disabilities with lower
incidence rates are not
available at all school
sites. When a student’s
IEP team has determined
that the Least Restrictive
Environment (LRE) is a
separate special education
classroom for 50% or
more of the school day,
enrollment options may
be limited to those school
sites offering the particular
set of specialized services
and supports required.
SFUSD strives to offer
these specialized services
at sites spread geographically throughout the city.
The list of schools offering
separate classes for special
education, also known
as Special Day Classes, is
provided on page 86.
Special Education Placement Counselors at the
EPC can assist parents/
guardians with the selection of school preference
options consistent with
their child’s IEP for the
application. EPC staff will
analyze individual IEP’s to
determine which school
sites offer the necessary
services for each student.
Service Delivery
Options
The student assignment
process varies depending upon the services
required to meet a child’s
educational needs. The
Service Delivery Options
listed below describe the
primary settings where
special education services
are delivered. Since all
options are not available
at every school, the enrollment process for students
with special education
services is dependent
upon the Service Delivery
Option(s) determined by
the IEP team.

PLACEMENT PROCESS FOR
STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL
EDUCATION SERVICES
The EPC Special Education
team will review, verify, and
process all applications for
students with IEP’s. As part
of the verification process, the
EPC counselors will make sure
that the school preferences
listed on the application form
meet the applicant’s needs
as described in the IEP. The
majority of students with
IEP’s will participate in the
student assignment process,
where parental choice, school
capacity, and the tie-breakers
(as detailed elsewhere in this
Enrollment Guide) play a role
in determining each student’s
school
assignment
when
there are more requests than
available capacity.
Students requiring Special Day
Classes, or other specialized
services not available at every
school, will also participate
in the student assignment
process for placement into
those schools that can provide
the IEP services. Again, parental
choice, school capacity, and the
tie-breakers (as detailed in this
Enrollment Guide) determine
the school assignment when
there are more requests than
available capacity.
Students
with
special
education needs who enter
SFUSD outside of the regular
enrollment periods defined in
this guide will be assisted by the
EPC in selecting from available
sites that meet their student’s
education needs, based upon
the free and appropriate public
education offer outlined in the
current IEP.
Discover
iscover
Completion of the enrollment
process according to the
timelines will result in a school
assignment offer. All new
special education placements
result in a 30-day interim
placement that will be
reviewed by each IEP team
to ensure that each student’s
educational needs can be met
at the newly assigned school.
In the event of a conflict,
locations specified in the IEP
supersede assignment offers
made through the enrollment
process.
Families
who
want
to
participate in subsequent
placement periods, such as

GATE throughout her/his
academic career in SFUSD.
G
ifted and Talented
Education (GATE) is
planned and implemented based on each
school balanced scored
card. The San Francisco
Unified School District is
committed to providing
learning opportunities for
all students. Elementary
schools cluster GATE identified students with other
students in the 4th and
the 5th grade classes. In

GATE and other students
may enroll in Honors
and Advanced Placement
courses. GATE students
are engaged by classroom
teachers through differentiated learning within the

sections.
A site-based team considers a variety of factors in
identifying students as
gifted and talented. The
identification
process
includes
teacher
and
parent/guardian
recommendations, achievement,
and cognitive abilities test
performance.
In terms of test performance:
• Students who score at
the 90th percentile or
above on the cognitive
abilities test are identified as GATE students
• A student who scores
advanced for two consecutive years in Language Arts or Math
on the California Stan-
dards Test maybe identified as a GATE student
• Students who achieve
at advanced levels in
two subjects on the
California
Standards
Test in one year will
also qualify for the
GATE identification.
• Students who receive
four of six points on
the SFUSD GATE identification matrix maybe
identified as gifted and
talented
If you are interested in
assessing your child for
the GATE program, please
contact your school site
and the GATE team in the
Curriculum and Instruction
Office.
The core curriculum in
each content area is differentiated using a variety
of methods that provide
additional challenge and
opportunities for students
to perform to their highest
potential.
Differentiated
curriculum and instruction
will be offered throughout
the school day. GATE students will meet academic
standard while learning to
think in deeper and more
complex ways.
In middle and high schools,
Honors and Advance Placement courses are one way
of addressing the learning
needs of gifted students.
There may be prerequisites
for admission to these
classes. Check with your
child’s school site principal

Things to know before you complete your application
[residency]
A
minor’s residence
is presumed
to be the legal
residence of the parent(s)
or guardian(s) who have
physical custody of the
minor. In order to be
enrolled in SFUSD, the
student’s parent/legal
guardian must continually
reside in San Francisco at
the time of application and
for the entire period of
enrollment in SFUSD.
This residency policy does
not apply to homeless
students.
Definition of Residency
For the purpose of this
policy, a resident is
an individual who is a
full time occupant of a
dwelling located in San
Francisco and who, on
any given day, is likely
to be at his/her stated
address when not at work
or school. In determining
the place of residence the
following rules shall be
observed:
a. It is the place where one
remains when not called
elsewhere for labor or
other special or temporary
purpose, and to which he/
she returns in seasons of
repose.
b. There can only be one
residence.
c. A residence cannot
be lost until another is
gained.
d. The residence of the
parent/guardian with
whom an unmarried
minor child maintains
his/her place of abode
is the residence of such
unmarried minor child.
e. The residence can be
changed only by the union
of act and intent.
If the parents are
separated and live at
different addresses, the
pupil must physically
reside with the parent in
San Francisco for at least
Please see page 9 for
required documents.

Revocation of Enrollment
If the Superintendent
or designee reasonably
determines in their
discretion that a student’s
enrollment and/or school
placement is based on a
false claim of residency,
address, guardianship/
caregiver, or any other
false information, the
student’s enrollment will
be revoked.
Non-Residents
If the District finds that the
student is not a resident of
San Francisco, the student
will be dropped from
enrollment in the District
and required to enroll in
school in the student’s
actual district of residence.

These documents also will
be required for any change
of address and may be
requested for transitional
students entering 6th or
9th grade.
Any child whose family
resides in San Francisco
is guaranteed access to
a free public education
in SFUSD. No family
will be denied access to
school because of their
immigration status.
In order to verify residency,
SFUSD reserves the right
to request additional
documents and/or to
conduct an investigation.
Because residency can
change for students and
their families during the
school year, SFUSD may
verify residency at any
time, or may require proof
of continued residency
at such intervals (e.g.
monthly, quarterly,
annually) as may be
deemed appropriate,
including in transitional
grades. The Director
of the Education
Placement Center is the
designee charged with
overseeing residency
fraud investigations. The
EPC Director may utilize
District staff or private
investigators to conduct

reasonably appropriate.

[siblings]
[age requirements]
Students who live at
the same address and
have the same parent/
guardian are considered
siblings.
We encourage you to list
additional schools in the
event that space is unavailable in the older sibling’s
school or program.
Younger siblings can be
assigned to their older
sibling’s school if the older
sibling will still be attending during the upcoming
school year, and if space is
available. If placement in
the older sibling’s school
is desired, we strongly
recommend that you list
the older sibling’s school
on the application form as
your first choice. If you do
not list the older sibling’s
school as the first choice,
there is a possibility that
the student will be placed
in a different school. We
also recommend that you
list other schools also in
the event there is a lack of
space in the older sibling’s
school.
Siblings who are applying for school at the
same time for different
grade levels cannot be
guaranteed placement
into the same school.
There is a possibility that
new siblings applying for
school may be assigned
to different schools based
on space availability. Some
families, in fact, choose to
have the siblings attend
different schools. There is
no way we will know you
desire to keep siblings together if different schools
are listed in a different
order of preference.
An older sibling will not
receive a priority to attend
a younger sibling’s school.
The purpose of the sibling
priority is to assist families
with multiple children
to enroll their children
in a school together, not
to provide a placement
priority into multiple
schools. Additionally, we
strive to assign younger
siblings into an older
sibling’s school as allowable by space, but may
not necessarily be able to
assign the sibling into the
same program (such as
language programs).
96 Apply
Twins, triplets and
multiples
If placement into the same
school is desired for twins,
triplets and multiples,
each application should
indicate the same school
choices in the same order.
The parent/guardian must
indicate on the enrollment
application check box that
they wish to have their
twins or multiples placed
in the same school. When
one twin is assigned to a
choice school, the student
assignment process will
seek to place the other
twin into the same school
if space is available. If
an assignment cannot
be offered to one of the
requested schools, then
the twins will be assigned
together into the school
closest to home with
openings as space allows.
If you choose ‘No’ on the
check box, then twins,
triplets or multiples will
go into the assignment
process as individual
students. In the event that
multiples are separated in
the assignment process,
a sibling tie-breaker will
be assigned to the sibling
requesting placement
into the other sibling’s
school for any subsequent
placement period.
California law now requires
that a child must be five
years old on or before
September 1, 2014 to be
legally eligible for Kindergarten and six years old

High School
Requirement
World
Language
To graduate from high school, students
are required to complete two years
(20 credits) of a World Language, or
demonstrate proficiency in a World
Language. World Language credits
may only be earned in grades 7-12*.
Proficiency, on the other hand, may
be demonstrated, such that the full 20
credits are not needed, and students
may graduate with 0 World Language
credits. Students who can demonstrate
proficiency in a language other than
English that is equal to or exceeding what
is expected of students after two years of
high school World Language study may
be able to satisfy the World Language
requirement for graduation without
credits.
Satisfaction of both UC/CSU LOTE
(Language Other Than English) admission
requirements and SFUSD graduation
requirements, may be demonstrated as
follows:
a.
Successful completion of the 7th grade
target Language Arts course of the
Secondary Dual Language Pathway
(SDLP) should have 10 credits of LOTE
Year Two transferred to the high school
transcript (SFUSD only); 8th grade
transfers 10 credits of LOTE Year Three. In
high school, SDLP students should enroll
in LOTE for Year Four or native speaker.
*
World Language credits can be obtained
through private language instruction taken
during grades 9-12. The student will be granted up to 10 credits (minimum of 150 hours of
instruction) and not less than 5 credits (minimum of 60 hours of instruction) per year, for a
maximum of 20 credits. Private language instruction which occurs before high school will
not be granted credit.
** Successful completion of a course requires a
grade of C or better.
Schools

of a Year Two LOTE course, or higher
course, for only 5 World Language
credits
(UC
recommendation
requires a minimum of the second
half of Year Three).
d. Successful completion of a subject
matter course taught in a LOTE, e.g.,
Biology taught in Chinese, US History
taught in Spanish. This includes
successful completion of a 7th or
9th grade Secondary Dual Language

4. English Plus Pathway
The English Plus Pathway is designed
to ensure English Learners develop
English language proficiency and
academic competency.
The English Plus Pathway is designed
for (1) English Learners from low
incidence languages where it is not
feasible for the district to offer a
language pathway; and (2) English
Learners whose parents wish for their
children to be in an intensive English
instruction program.
5. Newcomer Pathway
(Chinese, Spanish, and All
Languages)
The Newcomer Pathway is designed
to help recently arrived immigrant
English Learner students adjust to
their new language and culture. At
the elementary level, it is a one-year
program (with the possibility of a
second year as needed). At middle
and high school, students may stay in
the Newcomer Pathway for multiple
years as needed.
The Newcomer Pathway serves
recently arrived immigrant English
Learner students who need a period
of adjustment and orientation before
entering a language pathway or
English Plus Pathway.
All Pathways share the following
principles or elements:
• Minimum
30
minutes
of
designated
English
Language
Development (ELD) instruction.
The district will provide all English
Learners at least 30 minutes of
designated ELD instruction per day
that is appropriate to the setting
and identified needs of the students
until they are re-designated as Fluent
English Proficient. The amount of
ELD will vary and may exceed 30
minutes based on a student’s level of
proficiency. In addition to designated
ELD, ELD standards will also be
addressed during content areas,
e.g. English Language Arts, Social
Studies, Math and Science based on
the new California ELD Standards.
• Primary Language and/or Specially
Designed Academic Instruction in
English (“SDAIE”) Methodologies.
The district will provide English
Learners with content classes taught
in the primary language and/or using
SDAIE methodologies which are
strategies designed to help English
Learners to be fully engaged learners
of content in all academic areas. The
California ELD Standards will also be
used in tandem with all academic
content standards.
• Avoid Linguistic Isolation. In the
development
and
maintenance
of pathways, the district will strive
to avoid linguistic isolation by
incorporating
opportunities
for
English Learners to interact with
native English speakers.
• Teachers with the appropriate
EL certification based on state
requirements. All English Learner
classes will be taught by teachers
with the appropriate EL certification
based on state requirements, i.e.
CLAD or BCLAD certification.
For more information on the English
Learner Pathways and Miltilingual
Education Pathways please refer to
the English Learner Program Guide.
Reclassification Process
•
Reclassification is the process whereby
an English Learner is reclassified as
a Fluent English Proficient (RFEP)
student after meeting various
linguistic and academic criteria set by
the state and district.
The San Francisco Unified School
District has developed student
reclassification policy and procedures
based on criteria set forth by California
Department of Education guidelines.
Students initially identified as English
Learners (ELs) are reclassified as Fluent
English Proficient (RFEP) when they
meet the following standard criteria.
Detailed reclassification information
by grade level is available on the
Multilingual Pathways Department
webpage:
http://www.sfusd.edu/
en/programs/english-languagelearners/reclassification.html.
•
(MPD) distributes a list of ELs to
each site on a regular basis. The list
provides teachers and administrators
with the necessary test information
to
initiate
the
reclassification
process. In addition, MPD distributes
a list specifically of students who
potentially qualify for reclassification.
It is the responsibility of the school
site to initiate the reclassification
process. After a student is reclassified,
his/her academic progress must be
monitored for two years.
The district developed alternative
reclassification guidelines of English
Learners receiving Special Education
services. For more information about
these new guidelines and general EL
reclassification procedures, go to the
webpage:

youth must be immediately
enrolled in the school in which
he/she is seeking enrollment,
pending resolution of the dispute
(PL 107-110, Section 722(g)(3)

as “attending classes and
participating fully in
school activities.”
• The school must refer the
student, parent, or guardian to
the District Liaison to carry out
the dispute resolution process
as expeditiously as possible. The
Homeless Liaison must ensure
that the dispute resolution
process is also followed for
unaccompanied youths.
• A written explanation of the
school’s decision regarding
school selection or enrollment
must be provided to the parent,
guardian, or unaccompanied
youth.
• If the dispute remains unresolved
at the district level or is appealed,

are processed and approved or
disapproved on a weekly basis and
forwarded to the requested district. Final approval is made by the

you do not live in San Francisco,
you must obtain an interdistrict

outside of San Francisco who wishes
to attend or continue attending a

San Francisco public school. It is an
annual permit and must be on file
for each school year. Interdistrict
transfer request students cannot be
guaranteed enrollment in SFUSD.
Interdistrict attendance permits may
be approved for any of the following
reasons:
• To meet the child care needs of
the student.
• The parent/guardian is employed
within the city of San Francisco.
• When the student has a sibling
attending school in the receiving district, to avoid splitting the
family’s attendance.
• To allow the student to complete
a school year when his/her parents/guardians have moved out
of the district during the year.
• When there is a valid interest in
a particular educational program
not offered in the district of residence.
• A pupil who has been determined
by personnel of either the district
of residence or the district of proposed enrollment to have been
the victim of an act of bullying,
as defined in subdivision (r) of
Section 48900, committed by a

shall, at the request of the person
having legal custody of the pupil,
be given priority for interdistrict
attendance under any existing
interdistrict attendance agreement or, in the absence of an
agreement, be given additional
consideration for the creation of
an interdistrict attendance agreement.
We review requests five weeks before the start of the new school year
(not earlier). First we need to make
school placement offers to students
from the city of San Francisco. We
recommend that students who do
not reside in San Francisco enroll
in their district of residence in the
event that SFUSD is unable to assign
the child to a requested school.
We can grant interdistrict transfers
only on a space-available basis, and
we reserve the right to determine
whether or not to accept interdistrict
transfer requests. We also reserve
the right to limit the number of
incoming students and establish
priorities according to types of
requests.
We cannot grant interdistrict
transfers if the cost of educating the
student would exceed the amount of
state aid received as a result of the
transfer.
Also, we cannot grant interdistrict
transfers to high demand schools,
i.e., schools that are filled to capacity
at the end of the first placement
period.
To apply for an interdistrict permit to
attend SFUSD, you must first apply
in your own district of residence.
Each school district has individual
timelines and requirements for
interdistrict applications. If and when
the permit is approved by the district

the parent/guardian by mail if any
additional documentation, such as

period is a round
of assignment
processing, which you
can request. You must
submit an application to
participate in any of the
placement periods. Forms
are available at the Educational Placement Center
or on the district website.
A placement offer is an
assignment to a particular
school. After we process
applications, we will
make a placement offer
according to the key dates
in the enrollment cycle. (If
you applied by January 21,
2014, your placement offer
will be available on March
14, 2014).
After the initial offer, you
have the opportunity to
participate in any of the
placement periods to
receive a higher choice
school.
After the initial placement
offer, we recommend that
you register to secure
enrollment at the school
site. Even if you accept
a placement offer, you
can still choose to seek
a higher choice school
during any placement or
waiting pool period.
In order to secure enrollment, you must go to the
school and register by
bringing your placement
letter and proofs of birth
and residency by the
deadline date stated on
the letter.

are allowed, but families
may submit a request for a
spring semester transfer.
Currently enrolled SFUSD

“transfer request” to seek
spring semester enrollment in a higher preferred
school that has vacancies
that have opened up
during the fall semester.
These requests may be
submitted from September
2 through November 19,
2014, for any openings
that exist at the end of fall
semester.
After August, if a school
has pending transfer
requests, any available
openings that occur in
that school during the
fall semester will be held
open until the end of
the semester when an
assignment run will be
conducted using the
tiebreaker process.
New enrollees into SFUSD
will be offered enrollment
into schools that do not
have pending requests
for transfers. They will
not be offered any school
openings where there are
transfer requests unless
they are a younger sibling
of an enrolled student in
the school and there are
no other siblings in the
transfer pool. If there are
other siblings with transfer
requests, then the placement cannot be offered.
New students who are
enrolled may submit a
transfer request within
the same timeframe as all
other students.
The transfer run will be
conducted and completed
prior to the spring semester (winter break) for
active SFUSD students. No
further transfers will be
allowed after that point.
Note: The “transfer
process” is only offered to
enrolled SFUSD students.
Students who withdraw
from SFUSD cannot
participate in the transfer
process.
Any families who have a
transfer request that could
not be granted should

a series of preferences, known as tie-breakers,
❶ Tentative Assignments
Apply
Discover
When there are more requests than seats
available, the assignment process will make
tentative assignments for each school based
on the appropriate tiebreaker process. (e.g.
for elementary school: younger siblings,
pre-K attendance area, test score area,
attendance area, all others). In this process,
openings and the tiebreakers are the main
determinants over the choice ranking. It
is possible that one student may receive
a tentative assignment to more than one
school, or it is possible that they may not
receive an assignment to any of their school
choices.
Once the tentative assignments are
completed, the applicant keeps the highestranked tentative assignment and all other
lower choices are released and other
students have opportunities to receive those
assignments. We want the unassigned group
to be as small as possible. If the highestranked tentative assignment is the firstchoice school, the student’s assignment is
finalized.
❷ Transfer Cycle
Those who receive one of their choices are given a tentative assignment. If the highestranked tentative assignment is not the applicant’s first choice, the system will then begin the
transfer (trading up) process.

WHAT
HAPPENS IF I
DON’T RECEIVE
A REQUESTED
SCHOOL?
If you do not get an offer
to one of your school
requests because there
were more requests than
openings, SFUSD will use
the following guidelines to
offer you a school.
If you are currently
enrolled in an SFUSD
school that offers your
requested grade, you
will receive an offer to
continue at your current
school.
If you are applying to
grades K through 5 and
the grade you requested
is not available at your
current school, or you are
new to SFUSD, you will
receive an offer to your
attendance area school if
it has space. Otherwise
you will receive an offer to
the school closest to your
home with openings.
6th grade and you are
currently enrolled in an
SFUSD K5 school, you will
receive an offer to your
feeder middle school if
it has space. Otherwise
you will receive an offer to
the school closest to your
home with openings.
If you are applying to 6th
grade and you are new
to SFUSD, you will receive
an offer to the school
closest to your home with
openings.
grades 7 through 12 and
the grade you requested
is not available at your
current school, or you are
new to SFUSD, you will
receive an offer to the
school closest to your
home with openings. If
you are not enrolled in
an SFUSD school and you
only requested Lowell
and/or SOTA but you did
not get assigned to Lowell
or SOTA, you will need to
contact EPC to request
other SFUSD high schools.

If you requested a
language or newcomer
pathway and the school
you will be offered has an
opening in a requested
pathway, you will receive
an offer to the language
or newcomer pathway
in this school. If this
school has openings in
more than one requested
pathway, you will receive
an offer to the pathway
you ranked highest on
your application form. For
example, if you requested
a Spanish Immersion
pathway as a first choice
and a Spanish Biliteracy
pathway as a second
choice, and the school in
question has openings
in both pathways, you
will receive an offer to
the Spanish Immersion
pathway since you ranked
it higher. If this school
does not have an opening
in any requested language
or newcomer pathway,
you will receive an offer
to the general education
program at this school.

pathways

Section 6 of the
application form (School
Requests) includes a box
that you can check if you
want SFUSD to try to
assign you to any school in
the district with openings
in a requested language or
newcomer pathway before
offering you a general
education opening in your
attendance area school/
middle school feeder/
home with an opening
in general education.
This option is designed
to meet the needs of
families who wish to
prioritize enrollment in a
pathway over enrollment
program that may be
closer to their home.
If you check the box
in Section 6 of the
application form, SFUSD
will look at every school
in the district, starting
with the one closest to
where you live, to try and
assign you to a school
with an opening in a
requested language or
newcomer pathway before
offering you a general
education opening in your
attendance area school/
middle school feeder/
home with openings in
the general education
program.
