Welcome New Families
Welcome New Families
Congratulations on your child’s placement at Rooftop School for the 2024-25 school year! If you have any questions about the information below or any other concerns as you get ready for your child’s transition to a new school, please email us at welcome@rooftopk8.org. We look forward to meeting you!
Register Your Child at Rooftop
Make sure you have accepted your school assignment via ParentVUE’s online process. Please follow the directions on the assignment letter that was mailed to you by SFUSD or go to https://www.sfusd.edu/schools/enroll/enroll.
Sign up for School Communication
Our school’s communication system, ParentSquare, is pretty fancy, and you’ll learn more about it in the coming months. For now, we have the contact information you submitted to the school district’s Education Placement Center (EPC). If anything has changed, please fill out the following Welcome Committee Google form so that the PTA Welcome Committee can send you important information about events over the summer and help you connect with other families.
You can also like our Rooftop Facebook Page to get updates and reminders on all the great things going on in our community!
Before and After School Programs
Our on-site program is called CASA. It is an independent arts-based program that focuses on social justice and social-emotional wellness, and you can learn more about it at http://casasf.org/. CASA will offer after school programming until 6:30 p.m. Financial aid is available for qualifying families. Interested in CASA? Complete the inquiry form found here: https://www.casasf.org/enroll-info.
CASA enrollment for incoming TK & K students is NOW OPEN!
CASA also has spots open in their fabulous summer camp! You can learn more and enroll here. They will consider enrolling some incoming TK kids in camp- reach out to Leslie, the director, to see if your child is eligible.
A handful of off-site after-school programs of similar length provide busing to their location. You can learn more about those at http://rooftopk8.org/afterschool/afterschool-programs-offsite/.
Kinder Soccer
Kindergarten soccer is a great chance to exercise and get to know classmates! Please note that soccer at Rooftop is parent-organized. Because of an eccentricity with our league, we have to sign up SOON in order to have a team in the Fall. If you are interested in signing your child up for Fall 2024 soccer, please email welcome@rooftopk8.org ASAP. If you’d be up for considering a Team Manager or Coach role, please let us know that too, since we can’t have a team without volunteers! Practices are generally held one afternoon a week and games are on Saturdays.

You don’t need to know anything more at this time, but if you’d like a sneak peak at previous years’ summer mailings, you can click below. This year’s edition will be released in July.
