K-12 Enrollment

Coming Up: 2/18 is SFUSD Application Deadline for the Fall 2011-12 School Year!

Want to talk with someone directly? You can also walk into the the Education Placement Center at 555 Franklin St. Depending on the time you arrive, you may have to wait, but you’ll get to speak one-on-one with a knowledgeable enrollment counselor. I have done this several times to get specific questions answered and highly recommend it. Click here to get hours and contact info.
