General Reminders/Updates
- Registration for the 4th quarter LEAD program will begin February 21-28, closing at midnight. Please be advised, registering for the program does not guarantee your child a spot within the program. You must register each quarter for clubs, unless it is an “invitation” only club.
- Camarena Elementary School has a “NO FOOD” BIRTHDAY POLICY. Treat bags can be given to all students in the class to take home at the end of the day. Food/treats cannot be consumed during the school day. Please note that balloons are not allowed on campus. They cause a distraction to students in the classroom and can also trigger the alarm system.

TK 2024-2025
The Chula Vista Elementary School District offers a full-day Transitional Kindergarten (TK) Program at selected school sites. TK is designed to build a bridge between early learning and kindergarten. Any child who turns five between September 2, 2024, and June 2, 2025, is eligible to participate in TK for the 2024-25 school year. In other words, if your child was born between September 2, 2019, and June 2, 2020, your child is eligible for our TK Program. Not all district schools have a TK Program. If your neighborhood school does not offer TK, register at your school of residence. Once registered, your school of residence will send a zone transfer form to be completed. You will receive an email confirmation once the transfer is approved, along with placement information.
Transitional Kindergarten 24-25

Parent Implementation Program
The Chula Vista Elementary School District’s Parent Implementation Program (PIP) is a free program for Chula Vista families with children between the ages of three and six years old experiencing mild to severe behavioral difficulties. From separation anxiety, tantrums, defiance, and aggression, PIP provides a support system and a safe environment for families as they learn new strategies and skills to address challenging behaviors effectively.
What is PIP?
• PIP is a research-based program that has served Chula Vista families since 1978.
• Children participate in group activities while parents meet with assigned PIP staff to learn and practice new parenting strategies.
• PIP offers individual sessions and opportunities to practice new skills learned in a safe and supportive setting.
For more information, please contact the PIP staff at (619) 656-2082 Ext. 640783.
