Straight from the Ship

How do we know which school she will be attending in August?

If your child is already enrolled in a TK program with VCUSD, they will automatically be enrolled in kindergarten at their home school. Home schools are determined by the VCUSD boundary map. Please locate your home school on the school locator map to determine where your child will be enrolled.

Will Vallejo Charter provide extended morning/before-school care? Even just 15 extra minutes (7:45 a.m.) will make enough of a difference for me.

Students will be able to access the Mare Island campus as early as 8 a.m. for breakfast at Vallejo Charter School. However, there will not be extended care or supervision in the morning prior to 8 a.m.

What is the process? Will he automatically go straight to Kindergarten?

If your child is already enrolled in a TK program with VCUSD, they will automatically be enrolled in kindergarten at their current school. Should you be interested in enrolling your child in a different school within the district, you need to request an intra-district transfer during open enrollment. For intra-district transfer requests, please visit our website.

I saw that students affected by school closures would get priority in enrollments?

Vallejo Charter School is not closing but changing locations to the former Mare Island Health and Fitness Academy’s campus at 400 Rickover Street. 

"Why is Loma Vista Environmental School going to close? I just moved to this city and enrolled my child in this school, which corresponds to my address. So, where will my child go to school afterward?"

I just moved to the city, and Mare Island has come highly recommended to enroll my children. My question is if Mare Island is on this list to shut down, what are some great alternative schools that you would recommend?

For me it's not too safe to have my kids in there. Will there also be smaller classes or larger groups in each classroom now that they will be adding more kids? We already have 30 kids per teacher; it's way too many. I hope you guys are doing smaller classes for the benefit of the kids.
