Pre-K Enrollment for 2025-26 NOW OPEN!
CLICK HERE TO APPLY FOR LOTTERY!
Georgia’s Pre-K Program is a state lottery-funded educational program designed to prepare children for success in kindergarten and later school years.
Parents of the children who are selected for JCSS Pre-K commit to sending their children to school for the complete six-and-a-half-hour day, 180 days a year, on the same schedule that our elementary schools run. We know regular school attendance is a key component in a child’s academic success. Children who are late, leave early or are absent for 10 consecutive days without a medical or other reasonable excuse may be dis-enrolled, and the slot will be filled immediately with the next student on the waiting list.
The following documents are needed to register a student for the Pre-Kindergarten lottery:
- *Proof of Birth - Certified Copy of Birth Certificate (Your child must be four years old on or before September I, 2025).
- *Proof of Residency
- Child's Social Security Card/Bright from the Start Social Security Waiver Form
- Photo ID of person registering child
- Updated Immunization Records
