Thank you to everyone who voted and/or donated. I am pleased to announce that Ricardo got his bike!

As you may know, Ricardo has Cerebral Palsy. Let's wear GREEN to support awareness for this disease.

The Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District (PYLUSD) is excited to share that Brookhaven Elementary School will be one of nine schools participating in an extended-day transitional kindergarten (TK) pilot program during the 2024-2025 school year. This decision follows the successful research and work of a TK task force led by teachers and other staff members to explore the feasibility of extending our existing TK schedule to benefit students and meet the interests of our community.

Beginning next year, students enrolled in our extended-day TK program will benefit from more time in the classroom as a part of an AM/PM model, attending school from 7:50-12:00 am or 12:10-1:20 p.m. each day. An example of a daily schedule for our extended-day TK classes will be communicated to incoming families before the summer break.

TK is an early kindergarten experience for children that allows young learners to grow in an environment tailored to meet their academic and social-emotional needs. It serves as a bridge between preschool and kindergarten and ensures developmentally younger children are ready for kindergarten and beyond. Through the gift of additional time in the extended model, students will have the opportunity to interact with other students during purposeful play, physical education and movement, and many other extended lessons. For the 2024-2025 school year, students who will turn five between September 2, 2024, and June 2, 2025, are eligible to enroll.

In closing, I ask that you please help us spread the word about our new extended-day TK program coming to Brookhaven next year. Students gain the advantage of an outstanding education at our school! New families are encouraged to enroll their student(s) today at www.pylusd.org/enroll.

Will your child be turning five between September 2, 2024, and June 2, 2025? Or are you considering keeping your child out of kindergarten for an additional year? If so, enroll them in the district’s award-winning transitional kindergarten (TK) program now offered at all elementary schools!
