SFUSD 2025-26 Enrollment Fair

The Enrollment Fair is the one event of the year where all SFUSD schools come together to represent their communities, and to meet prospective families. 

Families at the Fair can:

• Speak with representatives — including the Principal, teachers, other staff, and parent volunteers — from schools of their choice, and get answers to questions they have.
• Get information directly from the Enrollment Center (by attending a workshop, or speaking with staff one-on-one) about how to apply, and what to expect throughout the enrollment process. 
• Meet with parent leaders from Parent Advisory Committees, and with representatives from SFUSD Departments like Special Education, Multilingual Pathways, and Student & Family Services Division.
• Connect with city agencies and community organizations that provide services for families like yours.

Additional perks:

• Free food from Vegan Hood Chefs, sponsored by the Golden State Warriors
• Free books from the San Francisco Public Library
• SFUSD stickers and pens

Join us and thousands of other SF families to start the next step of your student's educational journey!

Interpreters

Based on feedback that we received from last year's Enrollment Fair, we are working hard to ensure that this year there will be enough interpretation available for the families that need it, especially for Spanish, Cantonese and Mandarin speakers. To help us ensure that we can meet the needs of some of the families that speak some of the less common languages, please complete this Interpretation Request Form if you will need language assistance in any of the following other languages Arabic, Tagalog, Vietnamese, Samoan, and American Sign Language. On the day of the Enrollment Fair, any family needing assistance from an interpreter, can check in at the Interpreter Station located near the main entrance when they arrive.

Translated materials

The participant program will be available in English, Spanish, and Chinese. Other handouts fliers will be translated into multiple languages. QR codes will be posted, to direct families to SFUSD webpages that are viewable in multiple languages.

Workshops

All workshops in the Main Auditorium will offer simultaneous translation in Spanish and Cantonese. Participants will call into a Google Meet phone number during the meeting to hear interpretation, and the presentation slides will be available in Spanish and Chinese.

The Enrollment Center will also offer one session of the main "How to Enroll" workshop in Spanish and Cantonese in the Little Theater, which is located at the back of Balboa HS on the ground floor. Please view the workshop schedule to see the timing of the Spanish and Cantonese workshops.

The PreKindergarten (PreK) Program serves children ages 2 years and 9 months to 5 years old. We offer both full-time and school-day options, and both subsidized and tuition-based enrollment slots. Our PreK program can be found throughout San Francisco either in Early Education Schools, which solely specialize in offering PreK and TK, or in Elementary Schools that offer PreK up to 8th grade. 

At the Enrollment Fair you will be able to meet representatives from each of our Early Education Schools and learn more about the process to apply. For more information, please visit SFUSD PreKindergarten

Participants in the Enrollment Fair can also learn about important resources and opportunities to engage in their children's education by visiting the following Resource Tables, staffed by the following Community-Based Organizations, City Agencies, SFUSD Departments and SFUSD Parent Advisory Committees.
