Kindergarten Programs *

Transitional Kindergarten (TK) provides children who don’t meet the age requirement for regular Kindergarten (per California law) to have an opportunity to build their readiness skills and abilities. The 2025-2026 TK program is open to children born on or before September 1, 2021. TK programs bridge Preschool and Kindergarten, and provide young learners with opportunities to learn and grow in an environment that is tailored to meet their academic and social needs. TK is the first of a two-year program. Upon completion of TK, students promote to Kindergarten.

In the 2025-2026 school year, Transitional Kindergarten is open to children born between September 2, 2020, and September 1, 2021.

Kindergarten for the 2025-2026 school year is open to children born on or before September 1, 2020. If you are attending your neighborhood school (SVUSD neighborhood school Boundary Maps are HERE), enrollment packets are available after February 10, 2025 through your school. Please contact them directly for more information.

If you are considering enrolling your child in a school that is not your neighborhood school, you will be participating in our School of Choice program. School of Choice allows families to place children in schools outside of their neighborhood boundaries as long as the target school has room for additional students. More information about School of Choice is found HERE. Please know that the School of Choice deadline is February 7, 2025. Applications received after the deadline will be placed on a wait list with the individual school site(s).

Kindergarten is open to children born between September 2, 2019, and September 1, 2020.

Registration Requirements

• COPY of Original Birth Certificate: This is the official certificate issued by the county of your child's birth. It usually has a raised seal on it. This is NOT the certificate the hospital issues to you upon birth.  
• Proof of Residency: A current utility bill (electric, gas or water) or a lease or rental agreement.
• Immunizations: Up-to-date for ALL students, including Transitional and Kindergarten programs. (Please see the Parent's Guide to Immunizations for Entering Schools link here for detailed information on what immunizations are required and when.)
• Oral Health Assessment Form: Completed by your dentist, this form is required for all Kindergarten students. An oral health assessment conducted up to a year before that start of kindergarten, or by May 31 of your child’s Kindergarten year, satisfies this requirement. 
• Report of Health Examination Form: Required for enrollment into Kindergarten. This physical examination must be completed and dated by your child's doctor no earlier than 6 months before the start of school. 

** A Health Examination is NOT required for enrollment into Transitional Kindergarten (TK)**
