Parents who wish to secure a spot for their child in next year’s
Coweta County School System Pre-Kindergarten classes can do so
at their child’s district school this week and next, through
Friday, March 18.
During that time, parents can visit their child’s district
school and complete a Coweta County Pre-K application form for
each child and place it in the lottery box at the school. No
enrollment documentation is required to apply for the Pre-K
lottery.
Elementary schools are accepting Pre-K applications for eligible
students on Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., March 7
through 16. To accommodate parents’ work schedules, elementary
schools will hold an expanded lottery enrollment day from 8 a.m.
to 6 p.m. on Thursday, March 17. Applications will be accepted
through noon of the day of the drawing, on Friday, March 18
through noon.
Pre-K application ends at noon on Friday, March 18, and drawing
for spots will be held at schools at 1:00 p.m. on that day.
Parents do not need to be present for the drawing on March 18.
Pre-K students in the, Ruth Hill, Elm Street, Atkinson, and
Jefferson Parkway districts will apply for slots at Jefferson
Parkway Elementary School, since those schools’ Pre-K classes
are located at Jefferson Parkway. All other students should
apply at their district school.
Children must be four years old on or before September 1, 2011
to be eligible for next year’s Pre-Kindergarten. Parents can
call call 770-254-2820 to inquire about which elementary school
district serves their home.
Unlike other elementary school grades, there are a limited
number of Pre-K classes in Coweta schools. If more than 20
students apply for an available Pre-K class, the school must
hold a lottery drawing to determine placement in the class. The
first 20 students drawn will be awarded a spot in that school’s
Pre-K class; the remaining names will be placed in order of draw
on a waiting list for that school, in case spots in the class
open later.
After the March 18 lottery drawing, parents will be able to
formally register their child for 2011-2012 Pre-Kindergarten, at
the Central Registration Office, 167 Werz Industrial Drive.
Registration for Pre-K classes will be held on different weeks
at the Center in April, depending on which elementary school a
child will attend.
Early registration for new Kindergarten students will be held
separately in May. |
