WHAT IS THE CURRICULUM?

The TK and kindergarten curriculum are both developmentally appropriate and focus on literacy and mathematics along with a strong emphasis on exploration, self regulation, social, and emotional engagement. The California Common Core & State Standards and the Next Generation Science Standards guide our kindergarten program. The Milpitas Unified TK Content Standards provide a bridge between California Preschool and Kindergarten standards to support the needs of the TK student.

 

WHICH SCHOOLS ARE OFFERING TK?

TK is offered at all 10 elementary sites in Milpitas Unified School District.

 

WHAT IS A DEVELOPMENTAL KINDERGARTEN PROGRAM?

It is a two year kindergarten program designed to build a solid foundation for success in school. TK provides a bridge for our young five year olds between the flexible, exploration based environment of preschool and the more structured academic setting of kindergarten. It promotes each child’s progress in all areas of development. Much care is given to providing a rich, stimulating environment of active learning where each child develops and practices the physical, social, and emotional skills that naturally accompany a child’s intellectual growth.

AGE ENROLLMENT AND GRADE PLACEMENT (TK-12)

It is recognized that students do their best work in school when they are placed in a grade with other students of the same chronological age. Please click on the respective year for student placement based upon age: 25-26 SY, 24-25 SY .  Please contact your home school if you have any questions regarding grade-level placement. 
​
​Public School Districts/Private Schools in U.S.
Initial grade placement of enrolling students shall be based on chronological age. If the student is transferring from another public school district or private school within the U.S. and the student attended grade 1 or higher, the student will be placed in the grade level the student would have been in at their prior school.

Parents must bring evidence to the registration of successful grade completion, or existing grade enrollment, from previous schools (such as a report card, or an existing enrollment report, or transcripts, etc.).

If no evidence is provided, the student will be placed in the grade listed in the below chart at the time of registration. Any subsequent grade change must be discussed with the MUSD school in which your child is enrolled after registration.

Other Countries
Students who come from other countries are initially placed according to their age. If a student has completed a higher grade than their corresponding grade based upon their chronological age in their resident country, MUSD school team will request supporting evidence that the student has successfully completed the grade with documentation of school report card/transcripts. Site and/or district administration can review the report card/transcripts to determine appropriate placement of grade. 

Grades 9-12
In addition to the criteria above, MUSD will also consider credits earned toward graduation, transferability of graduation credits from the student’s prior school, and observation and evaluation by classroom teachers and guidance personnel.

Grade Placement will be determined based on the best interest of the student and will consider academic and social-emotional development. Any subsequent grade change must be directly discussed with the MUSD school administration.

MILITARY FAMILIES: ASSEMBLY BILL 2949 - PUPIL RESIDENCY

Existing law provides an exception to the residency requirements for a student whose parent is transferred to or is pending transfer to a military installation within the state while on active military duty pursuant to an official military order. AB 2949 adds section 48204.6 to the Education Code to require a local educational agency to permit a student who meets certain criteria to continue attending the student's "school of origin" during that school year, regardless of any change of residence of the military family. If the student's status changes due to end of military service, then the student is allowed to stay in the school of origin for the remainder of the academic year if he or she is between grades 1-8, or through graduation if the student is enrolled in high school. The new law effectively mirrors the laws related to protecting foster youth and homeless children, who are also susceptible to frequent school changes.
