SFUSD Strike:
Academic Support Week
February 9–13 | Terra San Francisco
We understand that the upcoming SFUSD strike may create unexpected challenges for families. Terra Schools and Terra Camps are opening a special Academic Support Week to provide children with a safe, structured, and nurturing environment while schools are closed.
​
If your family chooses to join us, your child will take part in our regular school day alongside our students who are genuinely kind and welcoming. Our program places a strong emphasis on social intelligence, community, and learning how to work well with others.
Core subjects such as Math and English will be taught in English, and children will also have exposure to Spanish or Mandarin for a few hours each day. No prior language experience is required (only an open mind and a willingness to participate).
This week, like all weeks, students will take our school bus and join our weekly Earth Education field trip* with Dr. Dylan Turner, our Earth Educator.

Earth Education at Terra
Earth Education is an essential part of the Terra experience. On designated days, children spend time outdoors connecting with nature through guided exploration, movement, and hands-on discovery. These experiences encourage curiosity, observation, and a deeper awareness of the natural world.
​
For this support week, TK, Kindergarten, and 3rd-grade students will participate on Mondays. Families will be informed in advance when their child is scheduled for an Earth Education day.
​
On these days, children should come prepared for outdoor learning. Please send a backpack with lunch, two snacks, and a reusable water bottle, along with an extra set of clothes (shirt, underwear, socks, and pants) in case your child gets wet or dirty. If your child requires personal medication, please connect with the lead counselor on-site to discuss medications or allergies. Hand sanitizer and sunscreen are also needed for outdoor days.
​
Children should wear comfortable clothes and closed-toe shoes, with layers appropriate for the weather. On rainy days, please include a raincoat and rain boots. On warmer days, a hat is recommended for sun protection.
​
Terra is a nut-free program, so please do not pack food containing nuts. On outdoor days, we recommend packing snacks and lunch in lightweight containers to keep backpacks easy to carry, especially for walks or short hikes. Brown paper bags or reusable plastic bags work well.
