*Children enter Transitional Kindergarten (TK) -the two-year program which is a year of Transitional Kindergarten (TK) and a year of Kindergarten - if they turn 5 between the dates of Sept. 2nd and June 2nd of that school year.
*The TK program presents a gift of time to help support younger children to become socially and academically ready for entry into a traditional Kindergarten setting.
*All enrollment in K and TK is based upon birthdate, class size, assessments & developmental readiness.
*All TK and K students begin school in August.
*TK and K are offered at all school sites. You may not be sure if your child is ready for Kindergarten or Transitional Kindergarten. Talk with your child’s preschool teacher or the TK or K teacher(s) before school starts to discuss any of these issues. If your child has special needs, be sure to talk to the school and teacher before your child enters school. Teachers and all school personnel want to make sure that all children are successful as they transition into school.
