Students enrolling in Kindergarten for the 2025-26 school year are required to have their fifth birthday on or before September 1, 2025.

Students enrolling in Transitional Kindergarten for the 2025-26 school year are required to have their fifth birthday between September 2, 2025, and September 1, 2026.

Priority enrollment at NUSD takes place between November 1, 2024, and March 3, 2025, offering the best chance for your student to attend their neighborhood school. By registering early, the likelihood that your student will secure a spot at their neighborhood school increases, reducing the chance of being overflowed or reassigned to another school due to space limitations. 

Schools reach capacity on a first-come, first-served basis, so early registration is key to ensuring your student can attend their neighborhood school rather than being placed in another school until a spot opens at their neighborhood school. In the event of an overflow, a student will be placed on a priority waiting list for their neighborhood school based on their registration date.

For more information, please contact your neighborhood school or Karina Leoni, Education Services, [email protected] or 415 493-4250.
