Irvine Unified School District. Vista Verde’s Kindergarten Round Up will take place
at 6:00 pm in our MPR. We invite all incoming 2019-2020 Kindergarten parents to
attend. We will review schedules, readiness for Kindergarten and our grade level
program. This is a great opportunity for parents to have their questions answered.
Kindergarten Roundup up is an evening designed for parents only.

kindergarten. Children who turn 5 years old between September 2, 2019 and December

1st for the 2019-2020 school year. After submitting the online registration, please call
our office at 949-936-6350 to make an appointment to complete the registration
