No School (Super Bowl Commissioner's Party in Grace Cathedral)
Important Calendar Update for January 5, 2026, and February 6, 2026
Dear Parents,
I need to announce and explain a schedule change for the second semester. The NFL will hold its annual Super Bowl Commissioner’s Party in Grace Cathedral on Friday, February 6, 2026. As a result, security and logistics on Nob Hill that day will not allow us to conduct school.
We have been informed that streets around the school will be closed, we will not have access to drop-off and pick-up zones, and all entrants to the block will be required to undergo background checks and vehicle searches. These and other limitations make holding school on Friday, February 6, all but impossible. (To give you a sense of the level of security, the FBI has been involved in planning this event.)
Recognizing that closing school results in the loss of a day of instruction, we will replace the lost day by holding school on Monday, January 5, 2026, which had previously been scheduled as a professional development day.
I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.
Located in San Francisco, California, Cathedral School for Boys is an independent elementary school for boys in Kindergarten – Grade 8. Our mission is to provide an excellent education through intellectual inquiry and rigor that is centered in the Episcopal tradition and is respectful of and welcoming to people of all religious traditions and beliefs.
