How to Accept or Decline Your Main Round Assignment

Update

**Update (3/18, 2:28 p.m.): 2024-25 school assignment letters have been uploaded onto ParentVUE. Thank you for your patience.**

How to Accept or Decline

Congratulations on your new school assignment! Your new school is excited to welcome you. 

SPECIAL NOTE: If you received an assignment letter stating that your student will be automatically enrolled, you do not need to take any action to Accept.

For all other students, please follow these instructions.

You may accept or decline your school assignment in one of three ways:

  • Completing the Accept/Decline form in the Online Forms section of ParentVUE.
  • Emailing a completed copy of the Response Form to enrollinschool@sfusd.edu.
  • Dropping off your Response Form at one of our Enrollment Center offices. 

IMPORTANT: If you plan to attend any SFUSD school in 2024-25, we strongly suggest that you accept your Main Round assignment. This is because there are many fewer spaces available in Round 2. 

If you prefer another school, you can apply in Round 2 after accepting your assignment: 

  • You DO NOT need to decline your Main Round assignment to apply in Round 2. Declining your assignment does not give you any advantage in future application rounds.
  • If you do not get assigned to a school in Round 2, you can still keep your Main Round assignment as long as you accepted your Main Round assignment.
  • If you apply for Round 2 and receive a new school assignment, your Main Round assignment will be automatically canceled.
