About Rosa Parks Elementary School
Rosa Parks Elementary integrates three distinctive program strands - STEAM Program, Special Education (SpEd), and the Japanese Bilingual Bicultural Program (JBBP) - into a vibrant and unified academic community with shared values of success for all students. In keeping with the SFUSD Strategic Plan, Rosa Parks is committed to ensuring students equal access to the resources and opportunities they need to thrive.
Engaging high achieving and joyful learners at Rosa Parks means that teachers work with each student's strengths, that students cooperate in project-based activities, and that learning is culturally relevant. Our dedicated teachers respond to students' diverse learning styles. They offer opportunities to learn outside of the classroom through performing arts and field trips. An outdoor classroom, outdoor kitchen and two hands-on gardens have transformed the schoolyard into outdoor learning areas and created green oases of nature for our school and community.
Afterschool programs offered on campus include ExCEL, and the Raphael Weill After-school program. Rosa Parks has a Parent Teacher Association focused on enhancing academic opportunities and resources and fostering a shared community culture of caring.
The 2009 Ecozone "Green My Schoolyard" grant allowed us to remake the courtyard into an outdoor classroom, to add solar panels, eco-friendly paint, and ecofriendly lighting. Other additions: a chicken coop, chickens and a water catchment system.
Partnerships with the UCSF Pharmacy School, Dr. Anthony Brown, and community organizations provide us with hands on science, jazz history walks, movement, tutors, and so much more.
Our PreKindergarten Program
We also offer an on-site PreK program for children 2 years and 9 months to 5 years old. Learn more by visiting Raphael Weill Early Education School.

After School Programs
ExCEL is offered on site through the Buchanan YMCA. Their program includes homework help, outdoor play, athletics and clubs. Raphael Weill offers Out of School Time (OST) with homework help as a focus. Many off site programs serve our families needs for afterschool programming. -
Language Programs
-
Japanese Foreign Language in Elementary School (FLES) Program
Japanese Bilingual Bicultural Program (JBBP) - Learning language through culture and community
The only program of its kind in Northern California, the Rosa Parks Japanese Bilingual Bicultural Program (JBBP) integrates Japanese language and culture with the District's core curriculum, providing students and their families with a rich educational experience and "window to the world".
Students experience one hour of formal Japanese language and culture on a daily basis delivered by native-speaking Japanese instructors, or sensei, who work closely with classroom teachers to integrate Japanese instruction with core curriculum content. Classroom teachers also maximize exposure to Japanese language and culture throughout the day in keeping with Japanese standards established for each grade. -
