How to Update Student Name and Gender Marker in SFUSD Systems

Parents and guardians who wish to update a student’s name and/or gender marker on their school roster and student information system, to correspond with the gender identity as expressed by the student, must complete the School Roster Info Change Request Form and submit it to the Educational Placement Center.  

That form and information about the process can be found here.
