Kindergarten Readiness
In SRVUSD, we believe the Kindergarten year provides each child time to mature academically, socially, and emotionally at their own pace. Our programs provide opportunities for students to develop based on their individual needs, abilities, and strengths. When students come ready and prepared for Kindergarten, they experience success in their academic journey, especially since Kindergarten has become increasingly academic in nature.
