2012 – 2013 Kindergarten Registration

Kindergarten registration for the 2012 – 2013 school year will held be on March 20^th and 21^st from 8 am to 11 am in the Reed School Multi-Purpose Room. This is a great opportunity to meet other Kindergarten parents, join the PTA and order school supplies, and take care of the registration process. If you are aware of others who are new to the District, please let them know about these dates. You will find detailed information regarding what you need to bring at this link. We look forward to seeing you there!

Transitional Kindergarten Update

SB 1381 (Simitian, D-Palo Alto) was passed by the Legislature in 2010 to move up the entry age for kindergarten to September 1 from December 1, phasing it in over three years beginning in Fall 2012.  SB 1381 also created a "Transitional Kindergarten" program for the children who turn five during the transition period and are no longer eligible for kindergarten.  The Governor's January budget removed funding for the Transitional Kindergarten program for this coming year, but we are still unclear if this means RUSD must offer a TK class. The Reed Unified School District is evaluating options for students born in November 2007, and consulting with the California Department of Education on whether we are legally obligated to provide a Transitional Kindergarten program.  We will provide more information as it becomes available, and hope to have a final decision by the time kindergarten registration begins on March 20 & 21, 2012.

The schedule for moving up the entry age for Kindergarten is:

For the 2012-13  school year, a child must be 5 on or before November 1, 2012.

For the 2013-14  school year, a child must be 5 on or before October 1, 2013.

For the 2014-15  school year, a child must be 5 on or before September 1, 2014.

If your child was born in November 2007 and you are considering enrolling for Transitional Kindergarten, please contact the RUSD Superintendent’s office at 415-381-1112.
