FAQs

Transitional Kindergarten is a free kindergarten experience designed for children who will be at least 5 years old by Aug. 31, 2023. Eligible children will not have attended preschool or another early learning environment and would benefit from additional help transitioning to school.

At Ogden and Sacajawea, class will begin on Nov. 1, 2022, and end on the last day of school (June 15). TK students will begin traditional kindergarten with the start of the 2023–2024 school year.

At Hazel Dell, class will begin on Jan. 30, 2023, and end on the last day of school (June 15). TK students will begin traditional kindergarten with the start of the 2023–2024 school year.

The program has four locations this school year: Ogden Elementary School, Sacajawea Elementary School, Hazel Dell Elementary School and Washington Elementary School. All families who live in the district are welcome to apply, even if they do not live within the boundaries of the schools where Transitional Kindergarten is located.

Transportation is provided for students living within the boundaries of Ogden Elementary, Sacajawea Elementary and Hazel Dell Elementary. Parents of students outside of school boundaries who are selected for this program will be required to provide their own transportation to and from school.

A certificated teacher and a paraeducator will teach the class.

The total class size at each school is limited to 18 students. Those residing within the school boundaries of the Transitional Kindergarten programs have first priority. Students living outside of the school boundary but within the Vancouver Public Schools’ boundaries are selected next based upon the outcome of the screening process.
