What is Two-Way Bilingual Immersion PreK?

  • Transitional Kindergarten is a public school program for 4-year-olds who turn 4 on or before September 1st. Children who are enrolled in Transitional Kindergarten will be automatically enrolled in a regular kindergarten class the following year. The curriculum is modeled on a modified kindergarten curriculum that is age and developmentally appropriate.

  • In Transitional Kindergarten all subject matter is taught in Spanish, without translation. Additionally, all students receive a daily period of English language development (ELD).

*DETERMINING OUR CLASSES

To determine enrollment priority for new students, each application is first sorted based on the language balance needed for the instructional model. School administrators will determine the appropriate linguistic group for each student application.

Within each of these groups, one point is given to student applicants for each of the following:

  • Child of CCLA and/or WUSD District staff members

  • Sibling of current CCLA student(s)

  • Windsor Unified School District attendance area residents

  • Attending the in person information meeting

  • Viewing each of the CCLA video presentations (STEP 1 above) on our website and answering questions on the accompanying Google Form. If you complete both, you will receive one point.

Applications are ranked based on the number of points. Applications with more points assigned are placed into classes first. Thus, applications with four points would be placed followed by applications with three points and then applications with two points, etc.
