Dear Prospective Families,
Thank you for your interest in Glendale Unified School District and our award-winning Japanese Dual Language Immersion (DLI) programs offered at Dunsmore Elementary and Verdugo Woodlands Elementary.
We highly encourage families to attend both an online presentation and a campus visit to better understand the expectations and commitment involved in this specialized program. Please note: the Japanese DLI program begins in Kindergarten and does not include Transitional Kindergarten.
How to Participate:
-
Please choose ONE online presentation date and ONE campus visit (you’re welcome to visit both campuses if you wish).
-
We ask that you attend the online presentation before your campus visit(s).
-
To keep group sizes manageable and ensure everyone has time to ask questions, duplicate sign-ups for the same content will be removed.
Important Details:
-
A Zoom link will be emailed to you one day before your selected online presentation.
-
Campus visits are for adults only (no children or infants, please). Arrive a few minutes early to allow time for check-in at the front office.
Eligibility:
To prioritize space for incoming applicants, we kindly ask that only families planning to apply for Fall 2026 sign up. Your child must be 5 years old by September 1, 2026. If your child is not yet eligible, we ask that you wait until the next school year to attend a tour.
Application Deadline: January 30, 2026
We look forward to welcoming you and sharing more about this exciting educational opportunity at Dunsmore and Verdugo Woodlands Elementary Schools.
Warm regards,
Tiffany Hirdler
Principal, Dunsmore Elementary School
Kristina Provost
Principal, Verdugo Woodlands Elementary School
