REMINDER MINIMUM DAY WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY AND FRIDAY!!!

Have a Great Week!

It was a sea of green last Friday, and the leprechauns left their mark on campus as we all celebrated Saint Patrick's Day. Some classes left me a fun sign and cards in my office as they heard that it was my favorite holiday!


The first official day of spring is tomorrow, and Spring Break is right around the corner! It is hard to believe we are nearing the end of March, time really is flying! Aside from trying to catch leprechauns, our students were busy last week focusing on the wildly important by working on writing assignments, practicing presentations, and doing science experiments to name a few things. We have much to do and learn before we leave for break on Friday.


On Tuesday please have your students ROCK their mismatched favorite Socks. As we celebrate World Down Syndrome day on Tuesday. Please watch the below video with your students.

Please show video to your kids!!

Hello parents of rising UTK students!

Universal Transitional Kindergarten enrollment is currently being processed by the District, and parents can expect to be contacted on or near April 3, 2023 with an offer of enrollment.

As a reminder, pre-enrollment into the school of residence is prioritized by date of birth. If your school of residence reaches capacity before your child is seated, you will be offered a seat in the next nearest school with space available.

Choice seats will only be offered after all residents are accommodated, with priority for siblings of concurrently enrolled Choice students. Choice enrollment offering will also be made on or near April 3, 2023.

If you have questions please visit the UTK Information webpage at https://www.sandiegounified.org/cms/one.aspx?pageId=42363774, … or contact Neighborhood School and Enrollment Options at (619)260-2410, or your school of residence.
