Extended Year

2024 and 2025 Summer Reroofing Project A Success! 

Thank you to SFUSD Facilities, Design, and Construction Department for Argonne's brand new roof across all our buildings, including new decking on our outdoor garden areas on the 2nd and 3rd floor.
​

We're excited to bring back Extended Year after our two-year pause for construction.

What is Extended Year?

Argonne’s school year starts in July and the students participate in approximately one month of additional instruction. Starting in August, Argonne follows the standard SFUSD school calendar.

Fun fact: our extended year
​ program started in 1976, nearly 50 years ago! For a fun read on the history of our school, check out this article published in 2020 for our 100 year anniversary - CLICK HERE.
The Benefits of Extended Year Education 
It’s great for everyone! Teachers have more time to focus on providing enrichment activities and project-based learning, while students stay more engaged with their learning throughout the year decreasing summer learning loss.
