Important 2011-2012 Calendar Update from the Superintendent

On Thursday, January 19, 2012, our Board of Education approved a revised calendar for the current school year for grades K-12. This calendar was changed to accommodate furlough days for certificated staff, which were part of the collective bargaining agreement reached by the district and the Association of Colton Educators shortly before Winter Break.

While we regret having to shorten the calendar mid-year, as well as eliminating precious school days for our students, this decision was necessary because of the harsh budgetary times facing school districts across the state.  Download the revised 2011-12 School Calendar. Please note the following changes from the previous calendar:

  • The last day of school has been moved up four days. June 1 will be the last day of school for all grades except 7th grade. The last day for 7th grade will be May 31.
  • All school sites will now be closed for two additional days: Friday, March 16 and Friday, May 25

The above changes do not apply to district offices, which will remain open. District pre-school programs run on a separate calendar and will keep families informed about any changes to their schedule. On behalf of the Board of Education, I want to thank everyone in the Colton Joint Unified School District for their patience and understanding in this matter.

    Kindergarten Registration 2012-2013


    Registration for kindergarteners for the 2012-13 school year will begin on Feb. 6. Enrollment dates are scheduled by school site. Please refer to our kindergarten registration flyer for dates and a list of materials and information parents will need to bring with them to the Enrollment Center.


    Transitional Kindergarten Offers an
    Advantage to Younger Students

    A new kindergarten program starting for the 2012-13 school year will help younger kindergarten students - ones who turn five years old between Sept. 2 and Dec. 2 - make a stronger transition into school and increase their chances of success. According to a new California law, students in that age group will attend a Transitional Kindergarten class for their first school year. These classes are designed to build a bridge between preschool and kindergarten and will provide our youngest students with extra opportunities to learn and grow in a classroom setting tailored to meet their social and academic needs. This "gift of time" helps young learners gain the maturity and skills they need to excel in a school setting.  All students who turn five on or before Sept. 1 will attend a regular kindergarten class. More information about Transitional Kindergarten is available in our Transitional Kindergarten Brochure.
