“Once social change begins, it cannot be reversed. You cannot un-educate the person who learned how to read. You cannot humiliate the person who feels pride. You cannot oppress the people who are not afraid anymore. We have seen the future, and the future is ours.”

Cesar Chavez - San Francisco, Nov. 9th, 1984

LATA NEWS

SFUSD Bilingual Model

Did you know that in our Spanish bilingual programs a majority of the day is in Spanish until 4th/5th grades when it is 50/50? That means that even 3rd grade is 60% Spanish, 40% English. This is encouraging news. Let us know how things are going at your site on our website blog.

Help us read the scholarship applications

Join us for an inspirational evening of reading the many applications from deserving students. Help us make the difficult but rewarding choices of which high school seniors we will be able to support as they realize their dream of going to college. RSVP. No experience needed.
