Update regarding 2026-2027 Transition Kindergarten
4/21/2026
State funding for UPSD’s Transition Kindergarten program has been reduced by nearly half for the 2026-27 school year. As a result, we can maintain only one of our TK classrooms. The remaining program will serve approximately 20 four year olds from our community and will be located at University Place Primary.
