Transitional Kindergarten Curriculum Adoption

Our district is excited to announce that our Transitional Kindergarten (TK) program is currently piloting a new curriculum aligned with the recently released California Preschool/Transitional Kindergarten Learning Foundations. This pilot is a key step in ensuring that our TK students receive a high-quality, developmentally appropriate education that meets the latest state standards. We will continue to assess and refine the curriculum based on feedback from educators and families to ensure the best outcomes for our youngest learners.
