                <title>Transitional Kindergarten program set to expand</title>
                <description><![CDATA[After a successful first year, our Transitional Kindergarten program is set to expand next year, possibly adding more classes at more schools. The TK program is the first year of a two-year kindergarten experience for children who miss the age cut-off for regular kindergarten due to new state laws. TK classes feature a modified curriculum that is age and developmentally appropriate for younger students. This year, children entering regular kindergarten next year must turn 5 years old by October 1, 2013. The TK program is available to children who turn 5 between October 2 and December 2. To enroll a child in either traditional or transitional kindergarten, register at your school of residence. Enrollment information and school boundary maps can be found on the home page of each elementary school web site. ]]></description>

                <title>Heading to 7th grade next year? Get your Tdap now.</title>
                <description><![CDATA[Students heading to 7th grade next year will need proof of an adolescent whooping cough booster immunization (Tdap) before starting school in the fall. The requirement applies to all public and private schools. The tetanus-diphtheria booster (Td) shot alone will not meet the requirement. The Tdap requirement affects all incoming 7th grade students in California. If your 6th grader has not yet received the booster shot, avoid the back-to-school rush and get the vaccination now. Proof of this immunization can be taken to the child&amp;rsquo;s current school. For more information see the shotsforschool.org web site. ]]></description>
