Please read this announcement carefully as it outlines the registration process for new students in the PUSD Preschool program and how we will carry out the registration process for the 2021-2022 school year.
The preschool department will be implementing a revised preschool registration process for the 2021-2022 school year. The purpose for the revised preschool registration process is to ensure our preschool program is fiscally responsible and aligns programs to enrollment on an annual basis. This change will not involve the State Funded preschool programs as those are funded by the state and the registration process is held later in the year.
Since we are a tuition based, optional use program responsible for covering our operating costs, we are like a small business that has been negatively affected by Covid. Enrollment in our programs was really down during the 2020-2021 school year, which caused us to look at data for enrollment patterns. This data was used to offer registration for most (but not all) of our sites.
The programs that will be open during the first phase of registration are:
- Full Day (12 month): D39C, Del Norte High School, Monterey Ridge, Park Village, Westview High School, Willow Grove
- Full Day (10 month): Adobe Bluffs, Creekside, Del Sur, Highland Ranch, Rolling Hills
- Parent Participation Part Day: Chaparral, Deer Canyon, Del Norte High School, Del Sur, Garden Road, Morning Creek, Shoal Creek, Stone Ranch, Sunset Hills, Tierra Bonita, Valley
If the above sites are filled to enrollment capacity, then and only then will another classroom be released for registration. At that time, the following sites may be opened:
- DSES and MCES PM sessions in the Parent Participation Program, Turtleback Parent Participation, Willow Grove Expanded Day, D39C Expanded Day, Westwood Elementary Full Day, Stone Ranch Full Day
As you register on March 15th, you will need to make the choice to register for the programs that are available or take a chance and wait to see if the program you really want will open later on in the process. If you do register for a program that is open in March for enrollment, there will not be an opportunity to transfer to another program later in the Spring or even Fall should we open other classrooms.
