their child. Seeking referrals from other parents, as well as our Parents Association, can be of great support when looking for special care for your child.
Events PLEASE NOTE: For the 2021–2022 school year, some events will be held over Zoom or in a hybrid mode (partially in-person / partially virtual). We are hard at work planning these special Friends traditions, and will communicate our plans clearly to our families as each event approaches. Each school year includes a myriad of events, from class-specific gatherings to school-wide functions. Below are a few of our most important events involving parents, but this is by no means an exhaustive list. Back-to-School Night – Please clear your calendar for this information-filled evening! You’ll have a chance to find out more about the curriculum, spend some time with your child’s teacher(s), view student art and projects, sign up for Parents Association activities, and hear about special plans and programs. Back-to-School Night also marks the launch of our Annual Fund. Blue Party – Each spring, the Parents Association hosts the Blue Party, an all-school themed party that includes dinner, dancing, and a silent auction to support the school’s Adjustable Tuition program. Blue Party volunteers help organize all aspects of this fun event, from party planning to soliciting auction items. Some of our most beloved auction items are one-of-a-kind SFFS family contributions ranging from a Pasta-Making Party to a hiking tour of San Francisco to a Broadway tunes sing-along and dinner. Help of all kinds is welcome; please contact the Development Office to learn more. Booktopia – Each fall, parents are invited to Booktopia, an evening event at a local bookstore to support our school’s library and Birthday Book program. This event is timed to help you with your holiday shopping. Crafts Fair – Held on a Saturday each winter, the Crafts Fair is an annual favorite, and features crafts and foods made by talented members of the SFFS community, including community partners, parents, teachers, alumni, and Middle School students. There’s music, a café, and a wonderfully festive vibe.
