Regarding Medical Exemptions for Immunizations

Respecto a las exenciones médicas para las vacunas

• The California Immunization Registry Medical Exemption web site is a secure site for physicians to issue and manage standardized medical exemptions for children in school or child care. Parents use the same site to request medical exemptions from vaccination for their children. Schools and child care facilities can monitor and get updates for medical exemptions issued for children in attendance. The school will not be able to print a copy of the actual medical exemption so it still must be printed by the Physician’s office and delivered to the school.
• El sitio web del Registro de Vacunas de California para exenciones médicas es un sitio seguro para que los médicos emitan y gestionen exenciones médicas estandarizadas para los niños que asisten a la escuela o a centros de cuidado de niños. Los padres utilizan este mismo sitio para solicitar exenciones médicas de vacunas para sus hijos. Las escuelas y los centros de cuidado de niños pueden controlar y obtener actualizaciones de las exenciones médicas emitidas para los niños que asisten a dichos lugares. La escuela no puede imprimir una copia de la exención médica real, de manera, que deberá ser impresa por el consultorio médico y presentada en la escuela.

​

What is Transitional Kindergarten (TK)?

​

​

History of TK:

• Transitional Kindergarten (TK) was introduced via The Kindergarten Readiness Act of the 2010 Senate Bill 1381
• Originally introduced when age requirements for Kindergarten changed, and included children who turned 5 years old on or between September 2 and December 2 (just missing the Kindergarten cutoff)
• Is considered the first year of a two-year Kindergarten program

​

​

What is Universal Transitional Kindergarten (UTK)?

​

In July 2021, Governor Newson signed AB 131, which adopts Universal TK by 2025-26. The purpose of changing TK was to ensure that all 4 year-olds would have a free year of school the year prior to Kindergarten. AB 131 changed the eligibility for TK over a 4-year period:

• 2022-23: 5th birthday on or between September 2 - February 2
• 2023-24: 5th birthday on or between September 2 – April 2
• 2024-25: 5th birthday on or between September 2 – June 2
• 2025-26: 4th birthday by September 1st (UTK in place)

​

TK is considered to be “the bridge between preschool and Kindergarten!”

​

​

​

Who is Eligible for TK in 2025-26?

• For the 2025-26 school year: Any child who turns 4 by September 1st
• Children who turn 4 years old on or after September 2nd are eligible for preschool
• *The District does not implement early admittance into TK, and will not accept any child who is younger than the TK eligibility dates.

​

• Children who turn 5 years old on or before September 1st are eligible for Kindergarten
• Children who turn 5 years old between June 1 and September 1st can apply for TK instead of Kindergarten, but admittance will be dependent on space in the program
• Obligation is to place all TK-eligible students first; Kinder-eligible students may not be placed in June/July* (*Timelines subject to change)

​
