General FACILITIES Information

Starr King is a model green school site.

Our facilities committees in the past have worked diligently to add many green school site infrastructure improvements to SKES with SFUSD and make it the beautiful space you see today! We have: rain water basins, rain water tank, reduced asphalt and green natural play areas, and we partner with our Education Outside program to keep our gardens and grounds lush.

Ongoing work:

  • Planting bed maintenance: adding wood chips, watering, weeding, etc.  

  • Rubbish pick up in and around the school site..

Recent work:

  • Planting all edges of the school site with drought tolerant plants to provide pollinator habit.  

  • Adding wood rounds and log benches to the yard and entry way.

  • Adding privacy screens to create smaller gathering and shadier play areas for the students.

  • Enlarging tree basins with the help of Friends of the Urban Forest.

  • Planting the Starr King Open Space edge with plants provided by Starr King Open Space.

Future work: 

  • Collaborate with the arts committee to install a mural.

  • Adding a shade structure to the pre-school yard. 

  • Larger calendar for the office entry area.
