Pre-K Registration

Pre-K Registration

A student may be registered for the Pre-Kindergarten lottery beginning Friday, December 1, 2023 to Friday, February 16, 2024. All lottery registration for the 2024-25 school year will take place online. Families can register by clicking here. 

Registration for the lottery is not guaranteed admission into a Pre-Kindergarten program within the Jackson County School System. All lottery registration entries have the same opportunity for being selected into the program. JCSS will hold a lottery selection in March 2024, and families will be notified of a decision. 

The Jackson County School System's Pre-K Program is a lottery funded educational program designed to prepare eligible four-year-olds for kindergarten. The program follows the Jackson County School System calendar: 6.5 hours per day, Monday­ through Friday, 180 days a year. It is designed to ensure that children are prepared for success in kindergarten by providing four-year-olds with child-centered developmentally appropriate curriculum and experiences.
