Kindergarten:
The Kindergarten Readiness Act specifies children must be five years of age by September 1 to be eligible for kindergarten in that school year. Children whose fifth birthday falls between September 2 and June 2 will be enrolled in Transitional Kindergarten (TK). Transitional Kindergarten is the first year of a two-year program who qualify based on the Kindergarten Readiness Act. TK students must meet the same requirements, including providing proof of residency, birth certificate, and immunizations.
Class placement is based on many factors. AM/PM class preference will be considered but cannot be guaranteed. Letters confirming AM/PM placement will be mailed at the end of June for all students whose online registration is complete, including the current immunization record which meets all of the requirements for school entry.

For families who do not physically reside within the boundaries of TUSD, an interdistrict transfer provides an opportunity for your child to attend outside your district of residence.

- Complete TUSD application (available below and at the TUSD District Office)
- If applicable, review of IEP by Director of Special Ed
- Meeting with the student, parent, and principal
- Board action
- Letter confirming approval
We will begin accepting requests to transfer for the 2024-25 school year on March 1.

If your child does not receive this exam, you must file a waiver with the school, stating the reasons you are unable to obtain such services. You must understand that your child may be sent home if you fail to provide the certificate or waiver, or if your child is suspected to be suffering from a contagious disease.
