The application deadline for applying to SFUSD schools is next week--February 4, 2022. If your child is entering Kindergarten, Middle School, or High School next year, they will need to apply for a new school. Here is a brief guide to help you choose and apply to schools: 

1) Choose the right school for your child: 

If you need help choosing schools that are right for your child, we have put together a list of resources: 

  • Tips on Choosing Schools: Wondering where to start? These 5 tips help you think through what is important for your family.
  • SFUSD School Finder: Our online search tool uses your address plus filters like grades and programs to find schools that fit your needs. 
  • SFUSD School Videos and Tours: Once you have your initial list of schools, get to know them better by watching their videos or attending virtual school tours. 

Tip: Select at least 5 schools you want to apply to and rank them in order of your true preference. 

2) Apply (Online or by Paper): 

Whether applying online or by paper, remember to gather your required documents:

  • Student’s proof of birth
  • Proof of home address
  • Parent/guardian’s picture ID

See here for a List of acceptable proofs of birth, address, and identification. 

Apply online at sfusd.edu/ola. This page also has instructions and help videos to help you apply online. Videos are in English, Spanish, Cantonese, and Mandarin. 

If you prefer submitting a paper application, please download and complete a PDF application and drop it off at one of our  offices by 4:30 pm on February 4, 2022. See here for our office locations.
 

3) Get help on the phone or in-person:
