"Remember! You are loved. We believe in you. You can do great things. And when we work together we can make the world a better place."
We are happy to announce that we will be able to offer universal Pre-K for the 2024-2025 school year with the support of community-based organizations. Registration for Pre-K will begin March 4th.
Every child that has completed registration by May 1st, 2024, will be entered into a lottery for class placement. Each class must have 18 students to open. Students who are not placed in a full class during the lottery will be placed on a waiting list in the order in which their number is drawn. Students who register after May 1st, will be placed on a waiting list in the order in which they complete registration.
