Program Registration Process

  1. Kindergarten registration begins in February.

  2. Parents interested in the Dual Language Immersion Program must complete a separate application.

  3. The program balances Spanish and English-dominant students — half of the kindergarten spaces are reserved for native Spanish speakers.

  4. Applicants will take a language proficiency assessment.

  5. Students not immediately placed will be put on a waitlist, and families will be notified by the end of June if a space opens for the fall.

  6. Parents must sign a DLI Parent Compact to finalize enrollment.

  7. Parents of English Learners must also sign a Parent Exception Waiver to choose the DLI program instead of the Structured English Immersion (SEI) program.

  8. In the future, the DLI program will be part of the PUSD school of choice lottery system.
