Dear Parents/ Guardians:
Our school is proudly participating in The Great Kindness Challenge, a week-long program dedicated to creating a culture of kindness and compassion in communities worldwide.
To help our students practice kindness and put their compassion into action, they will receive a Great Kindness Challenge checklist. We will also be celebrating each day with special activities, events, and/or dress up days (all optional).
We will encourage all students to complete as many acts of kindness as possible at school and hope they feel inspired to continue them at home!
Together, we will lift each other up, cheer each other on and show the
world that KINDNESS MATTERS!

Transitional Kindergarten (TK)
Will your child be turning five between September 2, 2024, and June 2, 2025? Or are you considering keeping your child out of kindergarten for an additional year? If so, enroll them in the district’s award-winning transitional kindergarten (TK) program now offered at all elementary schools!
TK is an early kindergarten experience for children that allows young learners to grow in an environment tailored to meet their academic and social-emotional needs. It serves as a bridge between preschool and kindergarten and ensures developmentally younger children are ready for kindergarten and beyond.
TK students are in school for 3 hours and 20 minutes five days a week. The program includes an AM and a PM model with students attending from 7:50 a.m. to 11:10 a.m. or 9:30 a.m. to 12:55 p.m.
TK Parent Information Night
Learn more about TK at the district’s upcoming Parent Information Night on Thursday, January 25, 2024, from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District. The address is 1301 E. Orangethorpe Ave. Placentia, CA 92870.
Orange County School of Computer Science at Bernardo Yorba
