As you may be aware, California –along with 45 other states, has adopted new Common Core State Standards (CCSS) in English Language Arts and mathematics. Students will be assessed on the CCSS beginning in the 2014-2015 school year. AUSD will transition grades Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd to the CCSS beginning in the 2013-14 school year, as these grades are not part of the current State Testing and Reporting (STAR) program.

This transition will require new English Language Arts curriculum as the current adopted materials are not aligned to the CCSS. These materials are available for preview on May 7th from 3:30 – 5:30 pm in the AUSD Board Room located at 510 G. Street. Staff will be on hand to answer any questions you might have regarding the new materials.

PRESS RELEASE

Kindergarten and Transitional Kindergarten Enrollment

March 6th is the first day of Antioch Unified School District’s citywide Kindergarten and Transitional Kindergarten enrollment!

Senate Bill 1381 amends California Education Code (Sections 46300, 48000, and 48010) changing the required birthday for admission to kindergarten and first grade and established a TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN, a two-year program.

Who is eligible to enroll for Kindergarten?

• Children who are five on or before October 1, 2013 are eligible to attend Kindergarten for the 2013-14 school year.

Who is eligible to enroll for Transitional Kindergarten?

• Children who are five on October 2, 2013 through December 2, 2013 must attend transitional kindergarten OR begin regular kindergarten the next year (2014-15).
   
• Children who are five on September 1, 2013 through October 1, 2013 will have the option of attending transitional kindergarten OR regular kindergarten.

Parents may pick up an enrollment packet for kindergarten or transitional kindergarten at their local school site during the hours of 8 am to 4 pm. The enrollment packet contains important forms and information to prepare a child for school. The enrollment forms should be filled out completely.

If you are not sure of the public school your child should attend, you can find the information at www.antioch.k12.ca.us . Some elementary sites offer a parent orientation for those parents who are enrolling kindergarten students. Please check with your local site for information.
