Announcement Details
Announcement Message
Dear SFUSD Community,
All SFUSD schools will be closed to students on Monday, February 9. I recognize that this is very difficult news, and am writing to provide additional information and resources to support your student’s continued learning during school closures due to a strike.
Labor negotiations will continue over the weekend and we hope that a strike can be avoided. We are working with urgency to reach a resolution that supports our educators while protecting the educational and safety needs of our students.
In the meantime, please see the information and resources below so that you can begin planning for next week.
Learning Continuity
SFUSD students will be offered Independent Study according to their grade level.
Action Needed: To participate in Independent Study, students will need to complete a short-term Independent Study Contract.
Your student can access Independent Study in several ways:
- Digital Access: Independent study materials are available now. Go to our website to access, download and engage in independent study, including:
Printed Materials: If your student is unable to access the packet digitally, SFUSD will continue to provide printed packets for families who have limited access to digital tools or devices.
-

High School Students
CCSF Dual Enrollment Students
For the approximately 800 high school students who are taking a Dual Enrollment CCSF course (online, at a CCSF campus, or at their own high school), CCSF courses will continue next week while schools are closed. Students are encouraged to attend these courses. For courses that normally meet in an SFUSD building, nearby alternate locations are being provided by CCSF. Students should check their SFUSD email and their CCSF email for the most current information and updates. Students should also be sure to check their Canvas accounts and reach out directly to their instructor for any support on keeping up with their course responsibilities. We appreciate our partnership with CCSF and their ability to pivot and maintain learning continuity for our students.
In addition, students enrolled in TRST Credit Recovery courses—either online or at the CCSF Mission campus—will continue with their current schedules, and classes will remain unchanged.
Mission Bay Hub Program Students
The Mission Bay Hub program courses will not be happening while schools are closed.
High School Credit Recovery Classes
All High School Credit Recovery (HSCR) classes, including evening, Saturday and asynchronous courses, will be paused while SFUSD schools are closed. Students can continue to work on assignments that are already posted and/or are available to them. The HSCR program and schedule will be adjusted accordingly so that students will be able to earn their credits. Classes scheduled for tomorrow (Saturday, February 7) will take place as scheduled.
Family Resources
I know this situation is distressing for families and will have a significant impact on students. We are working with the City of San Francisco and various community-based organizations (CBOs) to gather resources. We will continue to send out notifications to families as we finalize plans, and all updates will be posted to the Family Resources section on SFUSD.edu.
SFUSD’s Student Family School Resource Link will continue to provide support for families during the school closure. Email requests to sflink@sfusd.edu, call 415-340-1716 (9 a.m.-12 p.m., 1 p.m.-3 p.m.), or complete an online request form.
Sincerely,
Dr. Maria Su
San Francisco Unified School District
