Parents interested in learning more about the Irvine Unified School District’s kindergarten program and enrollment process are invited to attend a free workshop at the Irvine Civic Center on Wednesday, Feb. 8.
The session will be held from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in Council Chambers at the Civic Center, which is located at 1 Civic Center Plaza. Because seating is limited, organizers are encouraging participants to arrive by 6:45 p.m. and requesting that only adults attend.
The presentation will also be available on the City of Irvine's website beginning Feb. 15. For more information, call 949-724-6632.
New Student Enrollment
Enrollment for the 2012-13 school year begins March 2, 2012. If you have school-age children living within IUSD’s attendance boundaries, you can enroll them on or after that date by completing the district’s online pre-enrollment form. Then simply print that information, gather up the required documents and take the paperwork to your assigned neighborhood school. For a more detailed explanation of the process with some useful links, click here.
Students new to the district may also enroll online for the current year. In addition, there’s an Open Enrollment process for families who would like to request a school other than their school of residence.
Transitional Kindergarten
California is moving the cut-off age for kindergarten enrollment, and that means some children won't be starting kindergarten as early as their families had planned.
To accommodate children impacted by the shift, and to give younger 5-year-olds an extra year of academic readiness, school districts are now required to offer Transitional Kindergarten programs, which will start in the fall of 2012.

Irvine Family Resource Center
IUSD parents and families of K-12 children are encouraged to learn more about positive parenting classes and effective support groups offered through the Irvine Family Resource Center. These courses, scheduled throughout the year, provide strategies for eliminating power struggles, teaching critical life skills, promoting responsibility and encouraging problem-solving and good behavior.
Morning and evening sessions are available. To learn more about the center’s programs, click here. For additional questions, contact Susan Holt at 949-936-7502.
