Instruction and Schedules
SFUSD’s Commitment

- vaccines for staff if the Red Tier or
- San Francisco is in the Orange Tier
- having the infrastructure for staff and student surveillance testing
- Physical distancing requirements prevent the District from providing five full days of instruction each week for every child at every elementary school
- SFUSD’s unwavering priority is to provide all students who wish to attend in-person instruction with as many days per week and as many hours per day of instruction as possible while also adhering to physical distancing requirements.
