Leap into Kindergarten is a family transition program held at PPS Title I school sites in August designed to support our most underserved families with an intentionally smooth and caring transition to Kindergarten. For students and families, the program focuses on building relationships and practicing the functional and literacy routines foundational to the Kindergarten day. Arleta Leap Into K dates are Monday August 11, Tuesday August 12, Monday August 18, and Tuesday August 19. Families are encouraged to attend all four dates but it is not required and if you would like to participate but cannot attend all 4, or even only one, that is okay.

We've put together a handy slideshow to help folks enroll online. You can also enroll the old-fashioned way (paper). We have registration forms in the Arleta office. Office hours are every school day, 7:30am-3:30pm.
