ENROLLMENT PROCEDURES
Parents and guardians of incoming kindergarten students can pick up registration packets at Markham Elementary School.
Priority is given to:
- Markham neighborhood students
- Siblings of currently enrolled SPICE students
- Other VUSD students
- Students from other school districts
To be considered for enrollment in the SPICE, an interested family needs to do the following:
- Attend one of the Parent Informational Meetings, dates and times will be posted once confirmed.
- And attend one of the Classroom Observation
Once these requirements have been met, then the interested family can participate in the lottery in mid-May. Families will be notified if they are accepted into the program by the end of May. We have 3 Kindergarten classes in SPICE>
Who can participate?
Any kindergarten student can participate. Classes are balanced among the language groups.
There is no specific criterion, but rather parents choose to enroll their child in the Dual Immersion Program, committing to a period of seven years (K-6).
Usually, children enter the Dual Immersion Program at kindergarten. Sometimes students choose and qualify to enter at later grade levels. Please contact the office to make an appointment if your child is older than kindergarten age and you are interested in SPICE.
