TK/Kindergarten School Orientations:
To familiarize incoming TK & Kindergarten students and families to the elementary school and its community, annually, in May, each site hosts an orientation on their campus. The principal and team will welcome the new students/families, meet the TK & Kindergarten teachers, tour the school and TK/Kindergarten area, and hear an overview of early elementary curriculum.
Sites will determine their orientation dates in the spring. More information will be posted as it becomes available.
Orientations are by invitation only. Only students who have been notified via email of their school assignment should attend.
Universal Eligibility in TK:
The California Education Code provides clear guidelines regarding participation in Transitional Kindergarten (TK). According to CA Assembly Bill 130, all 4-year-olds will be universally eligible for TK starting in the 2025-26 school year. Since TK is now fully implemented, PVPUSD is unable to make exceptions for students who fall outside the eligible birthdate range for Transitional Kindergarten.
Once you receive your child's school placement, you are welcome to contact the principal if you have any concerns. Our Kindergarten teachers are dedicated to supporting all students and creating a positive, encouraging learning environment for everyone.
