Pre-K Registration Information

Pre-K registration for the 2026-2027 school year will be available online February 2-27. The results of the lottery will be provided to parents by email by March 6 and by mail by March 12, and after that, parents will have until April 17 to register with their child's school. 

If a child is selected, parents will be required to provide registration documents during the on-site registration process. If registration documents are not received during this time frame, the child's Pre-K slot will be forfeited. Registration documents include:

  • Two proofs of residence (mortgage statement/lease agreement and utility bill for address of residence),

  • Child's certified birth certificate,

  • Child's Social Security card,

  • Immunization - GA form 3231 (may be turned in as soon as the child turns 4)

  • Ear, Eye, Dental and Nutrition Screening - GA form 3300 (may be turned in as soon as the child turns 4)

  • Photo ID of parent/guardian.

Attached documents must be completed at the time of the on-site registration at a school AFTER your child has been selected by the lottery. Click on the titles to reach the documents.

In addition to submitting these documents, parents also need to complete the online registration process, which will be made available at a later date.

More Registration Guidelines

  • Students may register to attend in their school zone or at one of the magnet schools. Applications submitted out of zone will be moved to the correct zone according to the address on the application.
  • Only one application per child will be accepted. If you submit multiple applications, only the FIRST one will be considered.
  • Pre-K students are selected by a random lottery drawing and all children who are registered within the registration window have an equal opportunity to be selected. Pre-K is not included in any house bills, does not consider siblings in the same school, and does not consider who registered first or last.   
  • There is no confirmation notification, text, email or phone call for filling out a Pre-K application.
  • You will NOT need to submit the required documents unless your child is selected for a spot in the Pre-K program. 
  • Children who are not selected in the lottery drawing to be in a class will automatically be assigned to the waiting list for the school they registered for. 
  • The waiting list order is assigned through random lottery drawing. 
  • Bus transportation is offered ONLY at zone schools.  You must provide your own transportation to and from magnet schools.
  • Children who are selected in the random lottery to attend the Pre-K program MUST complete the registration process at the school level in order to keep the spot. The school registrar will contact you with dates, time and deadlines. This is when you will need the required documents.
