Time to Register for Next Year's TK

It's not too early to start planning for the 2013-14 school year, especially if you have a child entering kindergarten or transitional kindergarten.

The San Carlos School District (SCSD) will begin accepting centralized registration today for incoming kindergarten and transitional kindergarteners for the 2013-14 school year.

This registration process will continue over the next five months (Oct. 1, 2012 through March 1, 2013), and district officials remind parents that school assignments are not handled on a first-come, first-served basis so there is no need to rush to get your child registered.
