Current Transitional Kindergarten Students
Students will be automatically enrolled in kindergarten for the 2025-2026 school year at their neighborhood school*.
Transitional Kindergarten (TK) is only available at 34 of 茄子视频 City Unified School District schools for the 2024-2025 school year, so all TK students* living within district boundaries are transitioned back to their neighborhood school for traditional kindergarten enrollment. Each neighborhood school has a defined geographic boundary and is intended to serve the students who live within that geographic boundary.
Students that apply for enrollment at the school they attended for transitional kindergarten will be given priority in the Open Enrollment lottery for kindergarten.
Parent/guardians will receive an email and letter in early January 2025 with more information on their student鈥檚 enrollment for kindergarten.
*TK students currently enrolled at one of our schools without a geographic attendance boundary (A.M. Winn, Alice Birney, Leonardo da Vinci, and New Joseph Bonnheim) will continue at the same school for kindergarten.
