How does TK application work in OUSD?
My son's birthday is in October, so we are getting ready to apply TK for him. The assigned school Joaqin(Based on zollow) does not have TK program, so I am not sure if we can get TK opening for sure. He is only 3 and 9 months old now so I want to plan this as early as possible. We live very close to Montclair elementary and Thornhill as well, but it's not assigned to that school. I wonder how likely we can get enrolled into TK for these two schools - assuming I submit everything during the first opening window. I know these two are probably popular among others, so I start worrying about it now.
Thanks!!

My understanding is that if your zoned school does not have a TK program, you'd be among the first for the TK program in your district. Joaquin Miller area would be within District 4, and there are several schools with TK (Thornhill, Montclair, Glenview, Sequoia, Laurel). You'd list schools in the order of your preference and hope to get lucky. Please also keep in mind that the waitlist moves throughout the summer and well into the first few weeks of school.
