Sacramento, CA – Sacramento City Unified announced today that applications will open for the 2023-2024 Transitional Kindergarten program starting Tuesday, February 21 at 8:00am. Students who turn five September 2, 2023 through April 2, 2024 are eligible to apply. Sacramento City Unified will expand its transitional kindergarten to 33 locations for the 2023-2024 school year.

Transitional Kindergarten (TK) is a stepping stone between preschool and kindergarten. The optional program provides students with an additional year of preparation, so they enter kindergarten with stronger academic, social, and emotional skills needed for future success in school. 

To qualify to register for TK, students must be 5 years of age September 2, 2023, through April 2, 2024 and live within the Sacramento City Unified School District boundaries. Applications can be submitted online at https://www.scusd.edu/tk. Interested families can visit that website to learn more about School Choice, Lottery & Registration, Schools Sites with Additional Requirements, and Before & After School Care.

“Transitional Kindergarten is an incredible opportunity for children as young as 5 to start their educational journey early, and be welcomed as a student in our district,” said Jorge A. Aguilar, Superintendent, Sacramento City Unified School District. “Our TK program is a free public education that increases access to a caring learning environment at a time when similar opportunities have been unobtainable and unaffordable to many of the families we serve.”
