Early Release Days

When do we have Early Release Days?
They are planned each week on Wednesdays, when students end their school day at 12:50pm. Early Release on Wednesdays is effective across all SFUSD schools. The YMCA and SF Parks & Rec aftercare programs are prepared for students to go to aftercare immediately after school dismissal.

Why does school get out so early that day?
SFUSD, among many districts across the state, has insituted a weekly early release in order to provide teachers with collaboration and planning time.

Why should I even send my child to school that day?
All of our teachers continue our academic and social-emotional curriculum on Early Release Days. We don't want any of our students to "fall behind" so please ensure that your students still attend school. Furthermore, our school-site funding is directly connected to our student daily attendance, so when students miss school (even on Early Release Days), we receive less funding.
