Transitional Kindergarten Parent and Community Information (K-12)

Do you have a child turning five between September 2, 2024 and June 2, 2025? If you do, they are eligible for Transitional Kindergarten (TK). This program is designed to bridge developmental readiness from preschool to Kindergarten. Our program and wonderful teachers focus on play-based learning and making new friends. It is a great start for your child to be successful in kindergarten. Please check out the new flier for more details.

We are getting ready for the enrollment period for children who will turn five between September 2 and June 2. To learn more about Lodi USD TK, please see the attached flier or watch our TK promo video here.

Have You Reported Your Students' Absence?

Don't forget to call if your child is out sick. If you do not call it will be an unexcused absence.

Your child should come to school everyday!

Picking Students Up

  • Please drive into the parking lot to pick up or drop off your child whenever possible

  • Please DO NOT cross the street on Pleasant Avenue in front of the school buildings or in front of the parking lot

  • Please DO NOT MAKE A U-Turn on Pleasant Avenue. For the safety of our students we request that you leave the area that you parked in the same direction that your car is facing when you parked.

  • Parents who walk up must wait in the designated area.

  • Students and parents that walk up to the parking lot from the south (Tokay St.) should enter the parking lot near the field and follow the sidewalk around the parking lot. This will keep students and adults from crossing traffic as it exits and enters the parking lot.

  • Students will not be allowed to exit the parking lot without a parent or guardian present unless they are walking home
