SFUSD Migrant Education Program connects teachers with families at Mission High School

During a recent government meeting, officials discussed enhancing communication between the City of San Francisco and local schools to better support families in need. A key focus was on connecting educators, particularly teachers and parent liaisons, with resources that can assist families who may qualify for support services.

The discussion highlighted the distribution of informational flyers and online resources through the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) and the Migrant Education Program. These materials are designed to be accessible in multiple languages, including Spanish, ensuring that families can easily understand and utilize the available services.

Officials emphasized the importance of school staff, including secretaries, in identifying families who may benefit from these programs. They encouraged educators to refer families to the online resources or to contact the program directly for assistance. The program representatives, located at Mission High School, expressed their readiness to engage with families and provide necessary support.

Importantly, the program clarified that it operates independently of immigration agencies, aiming to foster a safe and supportive environment for all families seeking help. This initiative is expected to strengthen trust between educators and families, ultimately leading to better outcomes for the community.

As the city moves forward, the focus will remain on building these connections and ensuring that families are aware of the resources available to them.
