Perris Elementary School District thanks each of our volunteers for making the 3rd Annual Fun Run a huge success. Nearly 1200 parents, children, community members and employees enjoyed what turned out to be a beautiful morning in May for a 5k run through our community.
With the proceeds from this event PESD makes a donation to the March of Dimes, the Rotary Club of Perris for high school scholarships and to those schools that had the highest percentage of participation. This year Good Hope Elementary School came is first place, Perris Elementary School came in second place and Enchanted Hills Elementary School came in third place. We look forward to another exciting event next year!
Kindergarten Registration 12-13Registration for 2012-2013 kindergarten classes will be held in all schools in the Perris Elementary School District, April 16 – 27. For registration times and specific items needed to complete the process, please click on the following link: (Kindergarten/Transitional Kindergarten Registration Flier).
Please be advised that implementation of SB 1381 (Simitian, D-Palo Alto) “The Kindergarten Readiness Act,” which moved up the state’s kindergarten start date to September through a multi-year phase-in, begins in the 2012 – 2013 school year. The cutoff date for kindergarten entry will move up by one month per year over the next three years as follows:
– 2012-13: Date moves back to November 1.
– 2013-14: Date moves back to October 1.
– 2014-15: Date moves back to September 1.
Children must be 5 years old on or before November 1, 2012 to enroll in kindergarten for the 2012 – 2013 school year.
Transitional KindergartenSB 1381 (Simitian, D-Palo Alto) “The Kindergarten Readiness Act,” created a new program called, “Transitional Kindergarten.” Transitional Kindergarten is the first year of a two year kindergarten program. Children eligible for TK in 2012 – 2013 are 4-year olds born on or between November 2 and December 2.
Although Transitional Kindergarten is written into law, we have recently learned from the Governor’s 2012-13 budget proposal that he is recommending the elimination of funding for Transitional Kindergarten from the state's budget. There is much debate among lawmakers and legal analysts as to whether the program will be funded or not. Without funding for this program, it is not likely that the Perris Elementary School District will be able to offer Transitional Kindergarten next year, as previously thought. However, we are keeping an "Interest List" of parents and families who are interested in the program. If the State of California decides to require districts to move forward with the Transitional Kindergarten program, we will utilize the "Interest List" to inform parents of the enrollment process and proceed in opening those classes in 2012 – 2013.
