Transitional Kindergarten

Transitional Kindergarten is a full day early learning program for children who will be 4 years old prior to Sept. 1 of the year they would enter the program. The program focuses on developmentally appropriate skills and social and emotional development. Students must meet eligibility requirements, and space is limited.

Space will be limited
Due to reductions in state funding, we will not be able to offer as many Transitional Kindergarten classes in past years, so space is limited. If we receive additional state funding over the summer, we may be able to expand the number of classes.

  • Captain Strong Primary

  • Daybreak Primary

  • Glenwood Heights Primary

  • Pleasant Valley Primary

  • Tukes Valley Primary

  • Yacolt Primary

Kindergarten

Any child who will be 5 prior to Sept. 1 is eligible to enter kindergarten in the fall. Students who enroll in kindergarten benefit from the advantages of a developmentally appropriate program. Enrolling your child as soon as possible is a key step to being prepared for the school year, and helps the district plan for the number of teachers it will need to serve our youngest students.
