What is that app my child is using? In 2025, children are using a variety of apps for social media, gaming, education, and entertainment. Today we're sharing information for parents and guardians about some of the apps teens may be using.
Transition to Kindergarten (TK) is a free Pre-K program that focuses on social-emotional skills, learning habits, and kindergarten readiness goals to prepare our youngest learners for their educational journey. Eligibility is determined through the application and screening process. Space is limited, and priority enrollment is given to families impacted by limited household income and students who demonstrate the most need for additional preparation. We encourage families to apply soon.
