Student and Family Handbook

The Student and Family Handbook is a resource for all SFUSD stakeholders.  We provide this Handbook as way to work in partnership, to support students and families to understand the rights that you have in the district. It is also a place where the district outlines our expectations for students and families.   

The online Handbook was updated in October 2021. 

Please note that Early Education programs has a separate Early Education Department Family Handbook. 

The online Student and Family Handbook was updated in October 2021.

State law and Board Policy may change over the school year. The online version of the Handbook is updated more frequently than the print version, to reflect SFUSD policy and protocols.
