Options

Full-day and Half-day
CUSD kindergarten classes meet for a full day. However, if a parent prefers a half-day program, the following options may be available:- If enough parents at a site request a half-day option, then the half day program will be offered at that site.
-
If a program is not offered at the home school site, the parent may transport the child to another site that offers a half-day program. District transportation is not available.
-
The child may attend at the home school site and leave at the half-day dismissal time. Other students in the room will be attending for the full day, but the class will be structured in such a way that the students receives the instruction required.
In the past we have not had significant requests nor enrollments to structure a half-day kindergarten program. If one becomes available, information will be posted on this page.
