School Tours

Come Get to Know Us

We look forward to seeing you at our upcoming tours!

K-5 Tours: Grattan's K-5 tours are conducted on Wednesdays at 8:30am (with the exception of school holidays), beginning November 2 - February 1. Sign up with this this link. If you are unable to register online, please call the office at (415) 759-2815.

Pre-K Tours: If you would like a tour of Grattan's Pre-K program, please call (415) 759-2850; you are welcome to attend a K-5 tour as well.

• Tours last about 60 minutes and start right on time, so please arrive early to allow time for parking and sign-in. Due to our kindergarteners' activity schedule, we visit the kindergarten classrooms first, and you probably don't want to miss that!

• Please register for only one tour, as there are many families like yours who need to tour multiple SFUSD elementary schools. Your registration can include up to two adults; if more than two adults wish to attend, please have them register themselves.

• Kindly cancel if you cannot make it. Other families like yours would like the chance to attend.

• Adults only please. Our tour groups will be visiting classrooms that are in session, and we need to minimize distractions for our students.

If you have any concerns, please contact the school at (415) 759-2815. We look forward to welcoming you at Grattan!
