Preschool FAQS
*Registration to be screened is NOT an automatic placement within the program.*
- Your child needs to be 3 years old prior to 9/1 of the fiscal school year you are registering for. If your child is NOT 3 years old prior to 9/1, they are ineligible to participate in the screening and you have to wait for the following fiscal school year.
- See fliers for all required paperwork needed to secure an appointment.
- An appointment for screening does NOT result in a guaranteed placement within the program.
- You will not receive an immediate call from the building secretary once you register. The building secretaries will call/email you 6-8 weeks prior to the selected screening dates.
- Screenings and open enrollment for Dorn and Sorrick are conducted on different days. Make sure you are following the guides for the school your child would attend if eligible.
- If your child is not accepted into the program, he/she will be placed on an automatic waitlist until they are Kindergarten age.
