Enrollment
If my family does not meet the qualifications for free Pre-K, can I pay for my child to attend?
Tuition-based Pre-K is offered based on availability. Learnmore
If my child already went through the Pre-K program, do I need to re-enroll them into Kindergarten?
No. Your child will be automatically re-enrolled into Kindergarten.
How can I find out what school my child is zoned to?
Please use theSchool Findertool to find your zoned school.
I live in the district, but my child is also enrolled in daycare. Do I enroll him/her into my zoned school or the school closest to my daycare?
Enroll your child in your home-zoned school first. Please use theSchool Findertool to find your zoned school.
I enrolled my child and his/her birthday is 8/31. The application placed my child in PK-4 instead of Kindergarten. I wanted to enroll my child in Kindergarten. Will this be an issue?
Please reach out to the principal of the campus to which you are zoned. Contact information can be found on the campus website.
There are documents that need to be brought to schools in August, but Step 4 in the online enrollment process asks that the forms be uploaded there. Do I still need to upload the documents?
Yes. Parents need to upload the forms now if possible and then take the original documents to the school in August to be verified. Because the requirements for eligibility (limited English, economically disadvantaged, etc.) are state requirements, documents proving eligibility will need to be brought to your campus in person.

Please reach out to the Early Learning departmentby clicking here.
When will students accepted for the tuition-based program be notified?

Before the first day of School
What skills do children need to bring to the classroom?
These are the skills we recommend children start working on now in preparation for starting school:
Routine– Having a structure in place for how a day unfolds will make the transition into school easier for children and they will feel more comfortable.
Self-Help Skills– These can include being able to open things and put things away at home, putting on their backpacks on their own, and getting dressed (especially pants, jackets, shoes) on their own.
Toileting– Work with your child on going to the bathroom independently and without your assistance to build confidence in these skills.
Knowing important information– Please have your child work on memorizing his/her first and last name and address.
Will there be anything before classes begin to give a tour of the school to new students and parents?
Schools will offer days to meet the teacher and take a tour of the school to help ease nervousness about the first day. Most schools also offer a Pre-K or Kinder camp so children can get to know the school during a designated time and also get used to saying good-bye to parents. Please visit the campus website for more information.
What meals are provided during the day for students?
Breakfast and lunch will be apart of the school day for PK4 students. PK students eat together as a class. If students meet eligibility for free and reduced they will be provided free/reduced rates for breakfast and lunch.
Is transportation provided for PK-4 students?
If the child is eligible for transportation due to their address they would be eligible to receive transportation to school. If a tuition based student is attending PK not on their zoned campus they would not be eligible for transportation.
