Hello Parents!
The rules around transitional kindergarten, or TK, are changing.
Our school district is working with other schools and pre-school experts in Shasta County to create a stronger system of pre-kindergarten options for children and parents.
Right now, our district provides TK to children who turn 5 between September 2 and December 2. Next year, children who turn 5 between September 2 and February 2 can enroll in TK. By the time school starts in 2025, any child who turns four by September 1 will be able to go to TK.
Parents have other choices besides TK for their children. State preschools, private preschools, Head Start, and other licensed and licensed-exempt options will still be offered.
We want to hear from you! The items in this short survey will help our district and the workgroup learn what parents need and what choices they would like to have. The survey should take anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes depending on your answers.
As an added bonus, every person who fills out the survey will be entered into a drawing to receive one of 25 Safeway gift cards in the amount of $50.
Thank you.
