Transitional Kindergarten (TK) is only available at 45 of Â鶹ÊÓƵ City Unified School District schools, so all TK students* living within district boundaries are transitioned back to their neighborhood school for traditional kindergarten enrollment. Each neighborhood school has a defined geographic boundary and is intended to serve the students who live within that geographic boundary.
Students that apply for enrollment at the school they attended for transitional kindergarten will be given priority in the Open Enrollment lottery for kindergarten.

No. However, students who live within our district boundaries whose parent/guardian’s primary place of employment is at the selected school are given a lottery priority.
How does the lottery work?
The Transitional Kindergarten Lottery is not a first-come, first-serve basis. You may apply anytime during the application window to be considered.
SCUSD uses a computerized, third-party lottery system to place students at their specialty program of choice. A lottery must be implemented if applications exceed the grade capacity at the requested program.
One of the following lottery scenarios will occur:
- Your student is selected for their first choice and receives a notification of a placement offer.
- If your student applied to only one school and was not selected, they will be placed on a waiting list.
- If your student applied for two schools and was not selected
for their first choice, the computer will look for their second
choice. Note: Second choice selections are placed behind all
first choice selections.
- Your student is selected for their second specialty program choice and receives a notification of a placement offer.
- Your student is not selected for their first or second specialty program choice. They will be placed on a waiting list for their first choice only.
What happens if my student doesn’t get accepted to the first or second school of choice?
Your student will only be placed on the waiting list for their first choice. A notification from SchoolMint will be sent on March 10, 2025 notifying parent/guardians regarding placement on the waiting list.
When space becomes available, a notification will be sent through SchoolMint notifying the parent/guardian of the offer. Families can withdraw their application from a waiting list at any time through SchoolMint. All TK Lottery waitlists will close on July 31, 2025. After this date, any remaining waitlist positions will no longer be valid.
Families will receive the notification based on what preferences (email, text message or both) were selected when registering.
If my student is accepted to their 2nd choice, will they be put on the 1st choice waiting list?
No.
