Aligned with our commitment to environmental sustainability, we encourage families to walk, bike, carpool, take public transportation, or ride the school bus. SFS is located in a residential neighborhood. To mitigate the impact of the school on our neighbors’ quality of life, we ask SFS community members to be considerate and respectful.
Drop Off/Pick Up
Families are encouraged to carpool with friends and neighbors! The white zone provides a safe area for dropping off and picking up students during designated hours and is staffed by our teachers, administrators, and facilities personnel. We ask drivers to observe speed limits and avoid blocking driveways or double parking. Full instructions and guidelines are shared with families prior to the first day of school.

The SFS School Bus
In partnership with Zum and nearby Alta Vista School, we offer a fee-based school bus for preschool through middle school students. The school bus fosters independence and friendships among students of all grades, reduces traffic in the white zone and the neighborhood, decreases carbon emissions by getting cars off the road, and gives parenting adults more time in their schedules.
There is one bus in the morning and two afternoon options: after school and a later bus for students staying in Extended Day or for athletics. Reduced fees are available for families based on their indexed tuition rate. For more detailed information, please see our 2024-25 School Bus FAQs.
Visitor Parking
Parking spaces are available on San Bruno Avenue, Silver Avenue, Rickard Street, and other surrounding streets near SFS. Please avoid obstructing driveways or double parking.
Visitors may park in the white zone in front of the school only before or after arrival and dismissal hours. Please observe the street signs with the designated times. Also, please be aware of street cleaning on Tuesday and Thursday mornings.
