AV Parent Directories for PTA Members
AV Directories were distributed to all PTA members last week. If you did not get an email with a link to the directory, this most likely means that you are not a PTA member. Join the PTA HERE and we will send you a copy. If you didn’t receive one, but you think you are a member, please reach out to Vivan Tran, Membership Chair, at [email protected]. Thank you to Marion Johnson and Alex Zepkowski for volunteering to prepare the directories.
SPUSD Transitional Kindergarten
Transitional Kindergarten (TK) is the first year of a two-year kindergarten program. TK provides an early childhood education program that builds a bridge between preschool years and traditional Kindergarten. TK is ideal for students who may benefit from an enriched foundational early childhood education program to prepare them for success in traditional Kindergarten.
Eligibility: Transitional Kindergarten (TK) is designed for students who turn 5 years old between September 2 and December 2 for the 2021-22 school year or between September 2 and February 2 for the 2022-23 school year. A chart for additional eligibility years can be found in the link below.
