Length of Transitional Kindergarten & Kindergarten Instructional Days

The instructional day for Rocklin Unified School District's (RUSD) Kindergarten classes is one hour longer than the instructional day for RUSD's Transitional Kindergarten (TK) classes. RUSD believes that the educational, behavioral, and social/emotional needs of our youngest students are better served in the shorter day.
 

Important Update – Transitional Kindergarten (TK) Registration for Three- and Four-Year-Old Students

Starting in the 2025-26 school year, children as young as 3 years old will now be eligible for Transitional Kindergarten (TK). Here’s what this means for registration and vaccinations:
 
  • Registration: If the child is under four years old at the time of registration, please provide proof of vaccinations appropriate for a three-year-old. If the child turns four before the start of school, they will need to receive the required four-year-old vaccinations to begin school.
  • Start of School: Children beginning TK at three years old may start with vaccinations appropriate for their age. However, they will need the additional vaccinations required for TK once they reach four years old. Families will have a 10-day window to provide proof of these vaccinations once the child turns four, or the child will be excluded from school until the requirements are met. Please schedule doctor appointments in advance.  
 
 
Registration for the 2024-2025 school year is currently open. Please make sure to select the appropriate year when starting the registration process.
