What grade is your student eligible for enrollment? It is recognized that students do their best work in school when they are placed in a grade with other students of the same chronological age. The following links provide RBUSD guidelines for placing students at the appropriate grade level. Please contact your neighborhood school if you have any questions regarding grade-level placement.
 
Children who will turn 5 between September 2, 2023 and April 2, 2024 are eligible for Transitional Kindergarten for the 2023-2024 school year.
