MUSD offers Transitional Kindergarten Programs at the Mendocino K-8 Campus, Albion School, and Comptche School. Transitional Kindergarten is the first of a two-year kindergarten program. A child is eligible for TK if his/her fifth birthday is between September and May. A child is eligible for kindergarten if they are five on or before September 1st. 

Mendocino K-8 School highly values a child’s social-emotional competence. A child’s social-emotional competence influences current school achievement and is predictive of future academic learning (Thompson and Goodman 2009). 

Mendocino TK program will run from 8:30 - 12:00; Mendocino kindergarten will run from 8:30 - 2:20
