My student was in READY this year, do I have to fill out a new application for next year? Don’t we automatically get in again?
You must fill out an application every year. You are not guaranteed a spot every year; participation is lottery based to ensure fair and equal opportunity, as directed by California Education Code.
My child will be in Kindergarten/ Transitional Kindergarten next year, how do I get them in?
You may complete a READY application for your child’s intended school at any time, our office will confirm enrollment before the start of the year.
I live in (home school area), but we applied for Jefferson, (or a transfer to another school), how do I apply?
You will need to fill out an application, at the top mark your student’s homeschool and designate the requested school under “I have requested a transfer to another site as per the district’s enrollment policy”. Should your child be selected via lottery, we will hold your position at both schools until your attendance is confirmed.
