Overview
Ulloa Elementary School is the home of the Sharks. In nature, sharks are known to gather and work together when they have a common purpose. Ulloa Sharks come together for the shared purpose of working creating a school community where every single community member can thrive.
Ulloa strives to provide a safe school environment that nurtures our students in all areas of their development: cognitive, physical, social and emotional. We are committed to supporting our students in developing skills that will help them to find success at Ulloa and beyond. In addition to finding academic success, we want our students to gain a better understanding of themselves, others, and the world around them so that they become global citizens that can navigate the novel challenges that arise from our ever changing world.
Our classrooms are designed to be safe environments where academic discourse is cultivated, and mistakes are viewed as opportunities to learn and grow. We encourage our students to take risks in their learning, develop growth mindsets, and to think critically about the world around them. We also support our students in developing skills outside of the classroom. Students are provided opportunities to learn more about themselves and others through various leadership opportunities, staff facilitated activities, and student clubs.
Ulloa values Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. We work together to build understanding around our shared commonalities as human beings and celebrate the unique identities that each person brings to our school. We understand that every person has areas of strengths and challenges and as a result, may need things that are specific to each individual’s needs. We commit to creating a fully inclusive community where every member feels included, and is valued for their multiple identities and experiences. We want every one of our students, families and staff to feel a deep sense of belonging in our community.

School Accountability Report Card (SARC)
School Accountability Report Cards (SARCs) are required by state law and are intended to provide families with important information.
School Accountability Highlights
Published annually by SFUSD to provide access to key data points and three-year trends related to student achievement and school culture-climate. The highlights are available in English, Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, Filipino, and Vietnamese.
Social-Emotional and Culture Climate Report
SFUSD annually surveys families and school staff on a range of school climate indicators that have been found to predict positive student academic achievement. The social-emotional learning of students in grades 4-12 is also assessed.
School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA)
School communities gather twice a year to review data and previous actions in order to intentionally plan for the coming months. The School Plan for Student Achievement is the template on which this review and stakeholder engagement process is codified.
