Though Templeton Unified School District schools are currently operating via distance learning, and therefore physically closed to the public, our staff is hard at work behind the scenes beginning our preparation for the 2020/21 school year. TUSD resident students who are enrolled and attending Templeton schools through distance learning at this time will roll forward into the new school year as they would otherwise. If your child is currently attending on an interdistrict transfer (IDT), we will be reviewing our records to ensure your transfer is valid for the 2020/21 school year. If your transfer will expire this year, or has already expired, please contact your district of residence for a new release to avoid any delay in placement in class(es) for the fall.

Transitional Kindergarten is the first year of a two-year program who qualify based on the Kindergarten Readiness Act. Transitional Kindergarten (TK) students must meet the same requirements, including providing proof of residency, birth certificate and immunizations current for school entry.
Class placement is based on many factors. AM/PM class preference will be considered but cannot be guaranteed.
