San Francisco Day School

As a parent of three current SFDS students and one alumni child in high school, I’ve accumulated over a decade of parent/teacher conferences, performances, field trips, athletic events, fundraisers, and end-of-year celebrations with San Francisco Day School. Just when I thought I had seen it all, I agreed to step into the role of board treasurer, then co-president and finally board president – in a few short years, I gained a deeper knowledge of SFDS than I thought possible. If there is one thing I have learned from my time with this incredible board of trustees, it is that for a school to thrive, it cannot stand still. In this day and age, extraordinary schools can only come from having the ability to recognize opportunities for growth and the wisdom to not just adapt, but to anticipate and embrace change. 2014-2015 turned out to be one of the most significant years SFDS has had to date. This report highlights the myriad ways that our students, faculty, staff, alumni, and parents supported SFDS; clearly, we are all connected by our commitment to this school.

On June 30, 2015, Dr. David E. Jackson officially retired as head of school. While we were saddened at the prospect of saying goodbye, we were grateful to have a full year in which we could thoughtfully prepare a special thank you and retirement celebration. Members of our community past and present – alumni, alumni parents, current parents, friends of the school, and Dr. Jackson’s close family members – all gathered to honor and reflect on his lifelong commitment to education and his deep and lasting contributions to our school.

San Francisco Day School students and teachers alike will continue to benefit from Dr. Jackson’s legacy for years to come. Throughout any time of transition, financial stability is absolutely essential. Our annual fund campaign, 100% Participation in 100 Days, yielded 96% parent participation and $1.1 million. These funds are vital in supporting our entire academic program and allow us to provide our talented faculty and staff with competitive salaries and professional development opportunities critical for their growth and learning.

At the close of the 2014-2015 school year, SFDS celebrated the completion of our ambitious endowment campaign, Potential: Endowing Excellence for SFDS. Since the campaign’s inception in 2011, SFDS devoted a tremendous amount of attention and stewardship to grow our endowment from $10 million to $25 million. Since 2011, we have raised over $15 million in gifts and pledges. We now have the largest endowment of our peer schools, which generates over $1 million a year for our school’s operating budget. This achievement was yet another historic milestone in the life of SFDS, and would not have been possible without the steadfast guidance of Katie Albright and Ken McNeely, our campaign co-chairs, and the tremendous work of former board presidents Mike Halper and Carl Kawaja.

a wealth of expertise to our school, and we are certain SFDS will not only prosper with Dr. Walker at the helm, but that our students will continue to flourish as well.

While SFDS is recognized for the strength of its academic programs, the lessons we hope our students take with them go far beyond those measured by test scores alone. We want our graduates to bring their curiosity, compassion, and creativity into the world, lending their perspectives, knowledge, and talents to become active contributors to their communities. Thankfully our school is well positioned for success under the guidance of Dr. Mike Walker, who became our Head of School on July 1, 2015. Dr. Walker and his wife Wendy joined the Day School community from Hawai’i, where Dr. Walker served as the K-8 principal at Punahou School. He brings outstanding credentials and

As I retire my presidency, I am ever grateful of the immense support I’ve received over these past eight years as a trustee – it’s hard to believe it will be nine years in 2016! Thank you to our entire community for making San Francisco Day School the extraordinary place it is today. This is an exciting time in the life of the School, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds.

Serving as SFDS board president has been a truly memorable and rewarding experience. The board could not be in better hands under the wise counsel of Grace Won, our newly appointed board president. Most recently, Grace chaired the search for our new head of school and has been a dynamic and insightful leader within our community. In 2015-2016, the board is pleased to welcome new trustees: Eric Alt, Ginny Conner, Andrea Evans, and Nehal Raj. We also extend our sincere appreciation to our departing trustee, 2013-2015 Parents Association President Dawn Hartman.

A Strong Balance Sheet: 2014-2015 Financial Highlights

For the seventh year in a row, San Francisco Day School ended the fiscal year with a balanced budget. Revenue sources for the School include tuition, the Annual Fund, the endowment draw, and other fundraising events, like CultureFest. In 2014-2015, the total revenue was $14 million, of which tuition made up 81% of the total. The chart titled “Expenses” shows that 67% of the school’s expenses, which totalled $13.74 million, was comprised of faculty and staff salary and benefits and another 13% of the budget, or approximately $1.7 million, was dedicated to discounted tuition. Thanks to strong leadership from Dr. David Jackson and Carolyn Sasser, former Director of Finance, as well as former Board President Laura Spivy, expenses were carefully monitored such that SFDS concluded the year with a surplus, which was allocated to replenish reserves. San Francisco Day School remains a thriving institution with a solid balance sheet, and the board will continue to partner with administration to preserve the financial health of the school. Thank you to our entire community for your unwavering support and generosity.

Breakthrough San Francisco

By contributing nearly 10% of our operating budget, the Annual Fund fuels the engine of our school program – it is the largest source of non-tuition revenue for the school. The Annual Fund provides funds vital to sustaining the exceptional program synonymous with a Day School education – from teacher salaries to the Discounted Tuition program, technology and art supplies, and even the lights in the classrooms! The Annual Fund is the backbone of our fundraising efforts.

CultureFest is the School’s major annual fundraiser to to the Discounted Tuition program. Throughout the year, SFDS also hosts events to support other school programs such as the Fall Festival, which benefits the Library Media Center.

At critical points in the growth and development of the school, the head of school and board of trustees will initiate a fundraising campaign necessary to strengthen our academic program and improve facilities. These projects fall outside of the operating budget and are investments in the future of SFDS. Potential: Endowing Excellence: The Campaign for SFDS concluded in 2015 and added $15 million to the SFDS endowment.

Planned giving is a simple and effective way to support SFDS while securing the financial needs of families or loved ones. Planned gifts can also provide significant tax benefits for the donor. For more information on planned giving, please contact Vanessa Alexander, Director of Development: [email protected]

Breakthrough SF supports young people on the path to college and trains outstanding college students for education careers. The program is affiliated with Breakthrough Collaborative and fiscally sponsored by SFDS. SFDS families are encouraged to support the program’s work toward educational equity.

PARENTS Letter from the President of the Parents Association Last year was another great year for our children as the hallways of SFDS were filled with joy, learning, and energy. For parents, it was also a busy year! Together, we discussed issues of diversity and how they impact our daily lives. These conversations deepened our understanding of such topics and gave us strategies to share more meaningful discussions with one another and our children. Throughout the year, our room parents kept us connected and informed. Thank you all for your immeasurable contributions to our community!

In an effective and fun-filled alliance, the PA Executive Committee partnered with the board of trustees to form a “super” committee to host CultureFest 2015, the School’s largest fundraiser and community event. It was gratifying to be so intimately involved with the community in this way. We enjoyed working with Nicole Krassner (SFDS parent and event designer), our online auction chairs, Jenny Raj and Marjorie Swain, and our live auction chairs, Katie Colley and Jennifer Ozanne. We are forever grateful for their efforts. We also are appreciative of everyone’s generosity - it truly was a SuperFest! In addition to everything that our community does so well year after year, we participated in the search for a new upper school head. We thoughtfully contemplated our mission, vision for our future, and met with candidates. In our typical “it takes a village” fashion, we welcomed Dr. Ruth Bissell to SFDS on July 1, 2015 as our upper school head. Thank you for your participation in this important process.

2014-2015 was also a time of transition - we were reflective about Dr. Jackson’s retirement while looking to the future Dr. Walker’s arrival. There was a lot of time spent contemplating Dr. Jackson’s contributions to SFDS and another “super” committee was formed! This one was led by Bert Galleno, parent and trustee, and comprised of faculty and administrators, as well as current and former parents. Our community enjoyed an entertaining and sentimental evening honoring Dr. Jackson and his lasting legacy at SFDS.

SFDS Parents Association San Francisco Day School extends Finally, I want to thank and acknowledge my personal superheroes, the 2014-2015 Parents Association Committee - Ginny Conner, Erica Desouza, Deirdre Nonaka, Sue Rochman and Hassan Zaidi. They’re dear friends, amazing individuals, and wonderful SFDS volunteer colleagues. SFDS is a better place because of their thoughtfulness and efforts. I’m proud that the PA has such an important and supportive leadership role at SFDS; it’s been a great honor to be part of that process. I was delighted to work on behalf of the school during the last two years and a time of transition. Our PA is in the best of hands for the next generation of students and families, especially with Ginny Conner at the helm. I can’t think of a better person to lead our parent community during the next phase of our school’s history. I thank her and all of you for your efforts this year and going forward! 2014-2015 PA Executive Committee President Elect - Ginny Conner Treasurer - Deirdre Nonaka Secretary - Erica Desouza Diversity Chair - Sue Rochman Volunteer Chair - Hassan Zaidi With much warmth and heartfelt gratitude,

its deepest appreciation to the parents and families who so generously offered the gift of volunteerism this year. Without your valuable time and talent, SFDS would not be the community it is today – it’s thanks to your efforts that we were able to come together for school events, successful fundraisers, and to celebrate the educational achievements of our students. We sincerely thank you for your support!

ENDOWED FUNDS 2014-2015 The SFDS endowment consists of an investment pool of many diverse funds. Endowed funds are created through gifts made to provide long-term funding for designated purposes, or monies set aside by the board of trustees. Those interested in establishing a named endowed fund may do so if they meet certain minimum contribution requirements. Funds may be specified for a designated purpose, or donors may elect to have their fund provide current use dollars to be used at the discretion of the School. In addition, donors may supplement existing funds with a gift of any amount. Although each fund is distinct in designation or restriction, endowed funds are commingled in an investment pool. Thanks to sound management by the SFDS investment committee, we are positioned well going forward, with 63% of our portfolio in equity, 27% in fixed income, 6% in real estate, and 4% in cash or cash equivalents. We are grateful for the endowment gifts from families and friends of the School to support our effort in maintaining a strong financial standing well into the future.

Breakthrough SF

Letter from the Executive Director of Breakthrough SF Dear Friends of Breakthrough, San Francisco is a city of incredible opportunity – but those opportunities aren’t equally accessible. Studies suggest only one in three low-income youth in San Francisco attains any kind of higher education, and only one in seven earns a bachelor’s degree. Educational outcomes like these limit the potential of our youth and of the city as a whole.

30 30

San Francisco Day School

BREAKTHROUGH Breakthrough addresses this problem. We work directly with students from public schools in San Francisco, giving them the ongoing support they need to attend a four-year college. We train outstanding college students for education careers, giving them the tools and inspiration to make a difference for other young people. And we provide a rewarding service opportunity to volunteers, many of whom will stay involved with this work in the future. We served 160 students in 2014-2015, from fifth graders to ninth graders. Nearly all will be the first in their families to attend a four-year college. By the end of the 2015 program, 63% of our rising eighth graders were algebra-ready, as compared to 23% of potential first-generation college students nationally. 88% of our ninth graders earned all As and Bs in their first year of high school, while attending challenging, collegepreparatory schools across the city, both public and private. We will continue to support all these students as we grow, ultimately serving some 275 students in grades five-twelve. We trained 32 college students through our highly selective teacher residency in summer 2015. 100% reported that the training they received was high-quality. As a group, they improved by 42% on our Teacher Excellence Rubric over the course of the summer. 63% (77 of 122) of our Teaching Fellows who graduated from college in the last five years are currently working in the education field, according to a recent analysis, including 43 (35%) as classroom teachers, mainly at urban district and charter schools across the country.

Finally, well over 100 volunteers tutored our students and otherwise supported our work in 2014-2015, including 28 committed SFDS students. Along the way, they deepened their understanding of educational issues and of the value and joy of this work. We could not do it without them. I’d also like to thank our program staff, who approach their jobs with skill and perseverance every single day. I’d like to thank our Advisory Board and the many other supporters who make this work possible through their generosity. Finally, I’d like to thank San Francisco Day School for its exceptional ongoing commitment to Breakthrough. More than two decades after SFDS families and staff envisioned a program that would extend the School’s impact far beyond its walls, Breakthrough continues to thrive. Thank you so much. With appreciation,

Andy Shin Executive Director

Breakthrough SF

Breakthrough SF supports young people on the path to college and trains outstanding college students for education careers. Student Profile Zachary Ynzunza “I want to come to Breakthrough because I don’t like to just sit around or play during the summer. Breakthrough is an opportunity to learn and excel in all subjects so I can get ready for the next year.” Zachary wrote these words as a fourth grader at Alvarado Elementary School here in San Francisco, after attending a presentation by Breakthrough staff. It was the first time he remembers hearing about a summer program that included academics.

32 32

San Francisco Day School

That first summer at Breakthrough, Zachary learned so much. He bonded with George, his advisor and social studies teacher; in class, they sang about Ancient Egypt, and at lunch, they ate and played together. Zachary continued to learn and grow in the years that followed. He remembers visiting Google for Career Day, the campus looking just as he’d pictured it. He read The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian and completed a related project on identity. “That was one of the first times I really loved reading a book for class,” he remembers. With support from Breakthrough staff, Zachary was admitted to Cathedral School for Boys. He soaked in the wealth of learning opportunities there, including a ten-day trip to Beijing and Xi’an, where he saw the Terracotta Warriors and the Great Wall, practiced the Mandarin he’d been studying, and pushed far beyond his comfort zone.

In ninth grade, with Breakthrough’s help, he started at Lick-Wilmerding High School. “Lick is a school I wanted to go to since I was four or five,” Zachary says. “It’s everything I would expect from a high school - the rigor of the academics, the amount of homework we get. What really helped me to be ready is Breakthrough. At Breakthrough I would dread getting two or three hours of homework every night, but I would get it done. At the time, it was because I didn’t want to get Silent Elective. Now I realize it made me a much better student. Stronger academically, a hard worker, great at staying organized and all these other skills you’ll need for the rest of your life. I used to think about playing sports,” he continues. Now he’s being introduced to an incredible array of new subjects and opportunities, from biology to metal shop. Over the next few years, he hopes to figure out his passion. Zachary wants to thank the Breakthrough staff, teachers, and volunteers. “Everyone put in so much effort. Every detail of the program was mapped out. Breakthrough made me really appreciate all that teachers do to help us academically.”

Teacher Profile Cami Jones Cami was an undergraduate at Northwestern University when she started thinking seriously about a teaching career, after taking a sociology class that explored education as a tool for social change. She also learned about Breakthrough, and spent the summers of 2011 and 2012 taking part in our teacher residency. She taught reading to sixth and seventh graders, served as an advisor, led parent-teacher conferences, and took on many of the other complex responsibilities of a professional teacher. She discovered that she loved middle schoolers, who are quickly gaining maturity and responsibility yet are willing to try new things. It’s also a crucial time. “It’s a major turning point for students, when they’re trying to decide how school fits into their identity, and increasing their understanding of the world.” Cami led her seventh graders in discussions of The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, helping them think about issues of identity and social justice. On Career Day, she took a group of Breakthrough students to the architectural firm Leddy Maytum Stacy. “They got to see what work for grown-ups could look like in a way that was clarifying for them - a space where people are working hard at something they’re passionate about.” The work was intense and sometimes overwhelming, but also inspiring. “Even though I leave Breakthrough completely exhausted and with a

thousand things to do, I also leave with the feeling that I am engaging directly and working toward justice,” she reflected at the time. It also gave her the opportunity to develop her instructional practice. “The training I got at Breakthrough was I think to this day the most concrete training I’ve received about how to run a classroom - classroom management, the clarity of my objectives, whether or not my assessments matched up to them.” Cami graduated from Northwestern University in 2012 with a degree in secondary education and began work that fall as a founding faculty member at Alpha: Blanca Alvarado Middle School in San Jose, where she’s been since - first as a Learning Coach, now as an eighth grade humanities teacher. She feels her summers at Breakthrough, and particularly the culture of feedback and constant improvement, contributed to her success as a teacher. She hopes to teach eighth grade for the long-term. “I think a lot about what it means to be an experienced classroom teacher, and how strong teachers can influence the field. Every year, I become more and more convinced that I want to be in the classroom for the long haul.”

FACULTY PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT Faculty Professional Development: Learning and Teaching UDL

“ The San Francisco Day School commitment is that there is no limit to the potential and growth of our students.” SFDS STRATEGIC PLAN, 2011

“Kids are often much more creative, curious, and inspiring when we ask them to choose how to show their learning. That choice means that we value their process and we leave room for them as learners.” Beth Hatem, Fourth Grade Teacher

San Francisco Day School

The Endowing Excellence campaign raised funds in part to support SFDS’s Institute for Teaching and Learning (ITL).  We are most grateful to our endowment donors for their commitment to our faculty’s ongoing professional development. In 1981, San Francisco Day School’s founding families envisioned a safe, engaging, stimulating learning environment in which each child could thrive and gain confidence as a learner. Nearly 35 years later, our school continues to honor that mission in service to our students. In the words of Sue Collentine, lower school head, “We continue to depart from the traditional model that says children will learn just because we tell them to.  Instead, we look for ways to work through and around learning barriers so that our students can find success.” With that in mind, San Francisco Day School is embracing and modeling a transformative teaching strategy: Universal Design for Learning, or UDL. Simply put, UDL is a set of principles for curriculum development that give all individuals equal opportunities to learn. Everyone is a variable learner and UDL’s framework addresses this approach in the classroom environment. CAST, a nonprofit education research and development organization, works with schools across the country to expand learning opportunities for individuals using UDL. Last year, a group of SFDS teachers formed a cohort on this topic and have been leading our school on the charge to learn about and apply UDL in curriculum from K-8.

Institute for Teaching and Learning – Taking Theory to Practice In summer 2015, this group attended a conference hosted by Harvard Graduate School: “Universal Design for Learning: Reaching All Learners.” In this program, our teachers learned the UDL framework and strategies for how to engage all learners. First, they studied brain research on diverse learners; UDL guidelines are grounded in research spanning over a decade, which identified three basic learning networks and principles:

Taking Differentiated Instruction to the Next Level At its core, the goal of differentiated instruction is making learning accessible for all students. Both differentiated instruction and UDL recognize that brains are unique in how they obtain and process information – in other words, no two learners are the exact same. The difference is in methodology – differentiated instruction emphasizes the central role of the teacher to modify content and processes in order to address the needs and learning styles of each student. UDL takes a step back, asking our teachers to approach their curriculum design with this point in mind, providing options for all students to work to reach the same high level goal. As CAST puts it, UDL emphasizes the curricula while DI emphasizes responding to the individual needs. Together, they can provide a powerful combination of strategies to reach the needs of all students as they work to successfully reach the goals of instruction.

UDL in Action Now, SFDS teachers are revisiting their curriculum to identify potential barriers to learning and then refine lessons to provide all students with access. For example, an original assignment may be:

“Write a paragraph about the hide and tallow trade.” Using UDL as a lens, teachers considered the following: n Why are we asking our students to do this -- and what do we really want our students to know, do, or show? n What are we trying to assess? A specific skill? An understanding of a concept? An accumulation of skills we’ve taught at one time? n What is really, really important to me? n Are there barriers embedded within this assignment? What might they be?

“UDL is all about removing barriers and raising expectations.” Meghan Adler, Learning Resource Teacher

n What kind of goal is this (recognition vs. strategic vs. affective). Remember that recognition is a content goal, strategic goal is skills-based, and an affective goal is about emotions.

After reviewing the original assignment through the UDL lens, a teacher may choose to modify the lesson. This particular assignment was changed to reflect two distinct goals that each allowed room for students to access their own learning:

1 Show your understanding of the hide and tallow trade. 2 Understand how to write an expository paragraph. As Megan Buttery Green says, “Giving students ownership often results in them seeking knowledge as they find their way of expressing what they know.”

ALUMNI How did you start Forager Project?

JC Hanley is the co-founder of Forager Project, a local organic, cold-pressed juice company here in San Francisco. After graduating from San Francisco Day School in 2001, JC attended San Francisco University High School and obtained a BA in economics from Trinity College-Hartford. After devoting four years to the world of finance, JC chose to pursue his passion through food products that deliver meaningful nutrition.

40 40

San Francisco Day School

After college, I worked in finance for about five years but I knew it wasn’t something that I was super passionate about. I started making juice as a side project with my stepfather because there wasn’t another juice on the market that I wanted to drink - a vegetable juice that was organic, transparent and low in fruit juice and sugar. We began making juice in late 2012, while I still had a day job in Los Angeles. We launched in Whole Foods a couple months later, and I quit my job to run the company in July of 2013. Our team has grown to about 40 people. We’re based in San Francisco and have a production facility in Southern California. How did the Day School prepare you for your work today? SF Day is a big part of who I am. I met some of my best friends over those nine years, and had phenomenal teachers who were incredibly passionate about teaching. I learned some really important life lessons -- have fun, be honest, treat people the way you want to be treated, lead a creative life, be passionate about whatever you do, work hard. This applies to all areas of my life, including work.

Is there a teacher that stands out in your mind? Ms. Manies was an awesome math teacher. She was super disciplined, and pushed you to work hard. I took her class in sixth and eighth grades, and by the end of the year I was always amazed at how much I learned. What’s one of your best memories of SFDS? They were all great years. I really enjoyed seventh and eighth grade outdoor ed, the soccer team, PE and art class. I hear my one line in the eighth grade play really made the show. What’s next for you? We think of Forager as “a way to eat.” We’re launching our organic vegetable chips in Whole Foods soon, and have more fun things coming.

Jessica Ladd is the Founder and CEO of Sexual Health Innovations, a non-profit organization focused on developing technology that advances sexual health and well-being. Jessica previously worked in the White House Office of National AIDS Policy as a Public Policy Associate at The AIDS Institute, and as a sexual health educator and researcher for a variety of organizations. Jessica has been asked to speak at events such as TEDxMidAtlantic, Health 2.0, and TEDxUChicago. She received her Masters in Public Health at Johns Hopkins University and her B.A. in Public Policy/Human Sexuality at Pomona College.

Our main initiative is Callisto, an online sexual assault reporting system for college students. Students can go to their school-specific Callisto website and learn about their local reporting options and resources. They can also take three actions related to reporting their assault: (1) electronically report directly to the authorities, (2) save a time stamped record of their assault that they can return to later to report, or (3) opt in to reporting automatically if someone else reports the same assailant. We hope to support survivors by providing them with a more empowering reporting experience and to protect communities by detecting repeat assailants and providing a deterrent to assault. Currently, less than 1% of rapes result in the rapist spending a single day in jail. You have said that your upbringing in San Francisco first led to your interest in sexual health. At what age did that interest start, and how did those early experiences shape your work now? I started teaching sex education through a program called Aim High while in high school. I was drawn to the subject in part because of the impact of the AIDS epidemic on this city and the death of people I knew due to AIDS. I quickly learned that young people weren’t getting the information they needed at a critical time in their development.

With organizations like Planned Parenthood under increasing political pressure and access to women’s health centers decreasing nationwide, do you see SHI as filling a gap in sexual healthcare? Yes, although I wish there wasn’t a gap to fill. I think both online and in-person education and services are critical to advancing sexual health in this country. How did your experience at San Francisco Day School contribute to your current work as an entrepreneur and public health advocate? At the Day School, I was always encouraged to be creative, empathetic, analytical, and wholly myself. What advice would you give to other SFDS alumni hoping to make a difference in the world? Figure out what you’re most passionate about. Try a few different ways of solving the problem you care about. Learn great hard skills along the way. Form a strong network. Don’t be afraid to detour into the private sector - you can learn a lot there and do a lot of good there too. Choose the path where you, with your unique skills and passions, can contribute the most. You have something special to contribute to this world - go out there and figure out what it is.

In Memoriam: Seána Canavan ’11 On April 18, 2015, our community was deeply saddened by the untimely passing of Seána Canavan, an SFDS alumna from the class of 2011. After attending the Day School since kindergarten, Seána was in her senior year at International High School. We all remember her as a wonderful student with a big personality: energetic, bold, and unforgettable. She was a talented athlete and made a deep impression on the many students and teachers who became close to her. In the words of Rodney Ewing, her SFDS art teacher, Seána was “the light in the room and the voice in the crowd that made you feel welcome.” Our hearts remain with Seána’s family, friends, and the International High School community. We miss her dearly.
