How to Decline Your School Assignment for Next Year

How to Decline Your Main Round Assignment

The deadline to ACCEPT a Main Round school assignment has passed. 

If you did not accept your assignment and you were not automatically enrolled (as stated in your assignment letter), you no longer have a school for next school year 2024-2025. Please contact the Enrollment Center for help. 

Families can still DECLINE their school assignment up until the first day of school (August 19, 2024). If you know your student will not be attending SFUSD next year, it is important that you decline their assignment — that helps SFUSD and other families who are still trying to get into schools.

To decline your assignment, please follow one of the options below:
