(Seguin) — Here’s a reminder if you are looking to enroll your child in the Seguin ISD Pre-K 3 program; the deadline to apply for that program is this Thursday, April 3.
Emily Allen, the director of communications for the Seguin ISD, says the enrollment period encourages families to apply for one of the limited spots available at Ball Early Childhood Center. She says it’s important to note that if there are more applicants than space, a lottery will be held to determine the selected students.
“Right now, our Pre-K 3 registration window has opened. It’s actually an application process because you are applying for a spot in that program. Your child for Pre-K 3, must be at least three years old on or before Sept. 1 of this year. They must be unable to speak or understand English. Be educationally disadvantaged meaning they are eligible for the free or reduced lunch program. They could be parents who are serving — active duty miliary, being in an active reserve unit or in or have been in foster care or who has a parent or guardian who is eligible for the Star Texas Award, if they are homeless. We have a variety of requirements that would qualify a child to apply for a Pre-K at Ball,” said Allen.
Allen says meeting this Thursday’s application deadline is mandatory for consideration.
“Our Pre-K 3 applications it is on our website so if you go to the Seguin ISD website, you can look down on that same homepage, if you scroll down a little bit, you can see our most recent news and it says Seguin ISD Pre-K 3 applications now open. Once you open that article, it will show our fliers that have all of the qualifications,” said Allen.
Those wishing to apply for Prek-4 will have to wait a few more days as that application window runs from April 10-11. Registration for Pre-K 4 will be held on Wednesday, April 10 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. followed on Thursday, April 11 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Information on the application process is available on the Seguin ISD or on the Ball Early Childhood Center Facebook page.
