Due to limited spots in Transitional Kindergarten, your child is not guaranteed a spot. If your child does not get into TK, they will be placed in a Kindergarten classroom at their home school. If you are considering enrolling your child in Transitional Kindergarten, we encourage you to reach out to your child's teacher with any further questions.

Register your student for Transitional Kindergarten when the general registration window opens on 7:30 AM on Monday, February 10, 2025. There will be a link for pre-register for TK that will be available on February 10th.
