Rosa Parks Elementary integrates three distinctive program strands - STEAM Program, Special Education (SpEd), and the Japanese Bilingual Bicultural Program (JBBP) - into a vibrant and unified academic community with shared values of success for all students. In keeping with the SFUSD Strategic Plan, Rosa Parks is committed to ensuring students equal access to the resources and opportunities they need to thrive.
Engaging high achieving and joyful learners at Rosa Parks means that teachers work with each student's strengths, that students cooperate in project-based activities, and that learning is culturally relevant. Our dedicated teachers respond to students' diverse learning styles. They offer opportunities to learn outside of the classroom through performing arts and field trips. An outdoor classroom, outdoor kitchen and two hands-on gardens have transformed the schoolyard into outdoor learning areas and created green oases of nature for our school and community.
There is an afterschool program offered on campus through YMCA ExCEL . Rosa Parks has a Parent Teacher Association focused on enhancing academic opportunities and resources and fostering a shared community culture of caring.
The 2009 Ecozone "Green My Schoolyard" grant allowed us to remake the courtyard into an outdoor classroom, to add solar panels, eco-friendly paint, and ecofriendly lighting. Other additions: a chicken coop, chickens and a water catchment system.
