Why Choose Our Schools?



young kidsNEW Full Day Kindergarten
We are excited to share that, for the first time, our District will be moving to a full day kindergarten program at all elementary sites beginning in the 2025-26 school year. This important development will allow DJUSD to better meet the needs of our kinder students and families. Transitional Kindergarten (TK) will be available to all four year olds, but will remain a half-day program for the time being.

DJUSD understands the need for additional support for students before and after instructional school hours. Our DJUSD S.P.A.R.K. - Supportive Partnerships and Active Recreation for Kids - program provides a safe environment for students to explore their interests and develop their academic and social emotional skills. We are proud to offer this additional programming at all of our TK-6 elementary school sites.
