Buongiorno La Scuola,
It’s another special day as we open our Mission Campus and welcome back our 3rd through 5th grades. If you hear some background noise it is them, and it’s so wonderful to have this campus come back to life.
We heard music from Maestro Carlo, students have been engaging in math and Italian, PE, and many the activities they are able to do while on campus. We know there have been some challenges with our distance learners and we are working on finding a solution so they... Read More

I know that some of you have seen the website published by the City of San Francisco where they track the application process for each school. They are reviewing our application and we... Read More

We are planning to have distance learning days for all students before and after Winter Break so that you can travel and still return with enough time to quarantine before we return to campus.
These dates will be:
Dec. 14
Dec. 15
Jan. 6
Jan. 7
Jan. 8
Please note that we also added Dec. 16 & 17 and Jan. 4 & 5 as vacation days because we started the school year a week early. If you have any questions, please contact your Division Head.

We hope to hear from them soon, but there is currently no timeline for approval or potential return date for our K-2 students. We plan to stagger the return dates for Grades 3-5 and then Grades 6-8. We will have a... Read More
