Transitional Kindergarten

To qualify to register for TK, students must be 5 years of age September 2, 2023, through April 2, 2024.

To register your student for TK, please come into the Enrollment Center or contact the Early Learning and Care Department at  (916) 643-7807. 

Families will need to provide photo identification, address verification, proof of birth documentation, and immunization records. Once student’s information have been verified, an Early Learning and Care staff member will contact you regarding placement at a school site. No qualifying student will be denied a spot into Transitional Kindergarten. Enrollment at the school of residence is not guaranteed.

School Choice

Enter your address into School Finder at http://www.scusd.edu/school-finder, to find your neighborhood school and/or the closest TK program. 

Families can choose to apply to any TK location, but priority for school selection is the following:

1. Students who reside within the selected school boundaries* and/or their school choice is the closest TK location to their primary residence. 
2. Siblings of students already in attendance at the selected school and will continue to be enrolled in the upcoming school year.
3. Students whose parent/guardian’s primary place of employment is the selected school.  

*A.M. Winn, Alice Birney and Leonardo da Vinci schools are schools of choice and do not have neighborhood boundaries. Applicants to these programs will not receive priority based on location. 

Visit a School

Attend visitation events or call schools directly to schedule a tour of the location(s) your family is interested in.   

Schools with Additional Requirements

A.M. Winn, Alice Birney and Leonardo da Vinci schools require an adult representative (parent/guardian) to attend a school visitation and complete a student interest form in order to qualify. Please contact the schools directly for more information.

Immunization Requirements

California schools are required to check immunization records for all new student admissions at TK/Kindergarten through 12th grade. Parent/guardians must show their child’s Immunization Record as proof of immunization. Families will be required to upload their student’s Immunization Record as part of the registration process.
