San Marcos  Unified School District Engaging Students...Inspiring Futures

Kindergarten and Transitional Kindergarten Registration Begins February 8, 2019.

We encourage you to register your child by June 1, 2019 to help us determine our facility needs for the 2019-2020 school year.

Many of our schools fill their Kindergarten classes quickly. It is imperative that parents enroll as soon as possible to ensure a spot for your child at your school.

Kindergarten is available for students who turn 5 years old on or before September 1st.

Please note per board policy: Transitional Kindergarten is available for students whose birthday is between September 2 to December 2.

Only these birthdays will be accepted for this program.
