• Transitional kindergarten (TK) bridges the pre-kindergarten and kindergarten years. It is the first year of a two-year kindergarten program that has been implemented in California for children who are not old enough yet for kindergarten but want to build their social, developmental, and academic skills. TK does not replicate preschool or kindergarten.

    TK classrooms are taught by a multiple-subject credentialed teacher with the support of an aide with early childhood training and the TK curriculum is based on a combination of the California Preschool Learning Foundations and the Kindergarten Common Core Standards. TK is offered at select WCCUSD Elementary schools.

    After submitting your complete online registration form, you will need to contact your resident school to make an appointment for in-person ID verification and confirmation. Registration is not complete until you have your in-person appointment.

    Online registration is time-stamped once your registration is completed. Please be aware that you should be prepared to bring the original documentation that you uploaded online to your in-person ID verification and confirmation appointment.


    *All placement is dependent upon the availability of your TK school site. Space is on a first-come, first-served basis; if space is not available at your resident site or TK school site assignment, a neighboring school may be assigned. ~ *Toda colocación depende de la disponibilidad del sitio de su escuela TK; si no hay espacio disponible, se asignará una escuela vecina
