ROWLAND HEIGHTS, CA – FEBRUARY 5, 2018 – Registration for the 2018-19 school year is now open in the Rowland Unified School District. All new Transitional Kindergarten, Kindergarten, interested Dual Immersion Kindergarten students and any new students to the District must register online at https://aeries.rowlandschools.org/enroll/.

            Parents can now register for both Mandarin and Spanish Dual Language Immersion Programs for Kindergartners this August. The new Mandarin Dual Language Immersion program would offer Kindergarten students a 50/50 English and Mandarin instructional model, where English speakers and Mandarin speakers would learn to read, speak and write in English and Mandarin. It would be hosted at Shelyn Elementary. There are two Spanish Dual Language Immersion Programs that also begin in Kindergarten, hosted at Rorimer Elementary and at Hurley Elementary.
