It is that time of year for site leaders and coordinated care teams (CCTs) to review the PGM413 Homeless Main report in Synergy, especially if you have not done so this school year, and complete the following: 

1. Update homeless student records dated before the current school year -  Run a U-PGM413 Report on Synergy to generate your school’s list of students who are identified as experiencing homelessness. You can find instructions on how to edit records and/or exit students here.
2. Connect with students/families with resources (as needed): If students/families request support with academics, attendance, transportation, and/or mental health refer them to resources in the community, shelters, or access points, and/or complete a SAFEH Resource Request form. 
3. Become familiar with SFUSD Responsibilities: Visit SFUSD’s SAFEH website and review the SAFEH Portal for more information for staff.
4. Request professional development, technical assistance, or consultation with your school’s CCT as needed: Contact the safeh@sfusd.edu team!

Student homeless records should be updated annually (once a school year) so data that the district reports to the CDE is accurate. All site administrators, school counselors, school social workers, nurses, and registrar clerks have access to make updates to homeless records. These corrections should be made by June 4th (the last day of instruction). 

Please reach out to SAFEH if you have any questions.
