LAGUNA BEACH, CA — Families, it's time to register your students in Laguna Beach for the 2023-24 academic year.

The Laguna Beach Unified School District accounted that the online enrollment application for the 2023-24 academic year is now open. This is available for all new students entering transitional kindergarten (TK) or kindergarten through grade 12, they announced this week.

Transitional Kindergarten is for four-year-olds who turn five between September 2, 2023, and April 2, 2024. For the full-day kindergarten program, students must be five years old on or before September 1, 2023, to enroll for the 2023-24 school year.

There is a chance to come and see your child's new school before they start attending, according to the district.

New families can visit the Top of the World and El Morro elementary schools on April 26, 2023, at 1:45 p.m. or May 4, 2023, at 6 p.m. for campus tours. Elementary school orientation for parents and guardians will be virtual via Zoom on April 27 from 6 to 7 p.m.

In addition to the educational programs offered during the academic calendar year, LBUSD offers full-day expanded learning opportunities for all students during winter, spring and summer breaks when school is not in session.
