Parents can apply for slots at Coweta
County School System Pre-Kindergarten classes from March 10
through 21 at their child’s district elementary schools.
The March 10-21 application will be for limited 2008-09 class
slots in the school system’s four-year-old Pre-Kindergarten
classes. State Pre-K classes are also offered at private day
care centers around Coweta County, which register students
separately.
Elementary schools will accept applications for eligible
students (who must be four years old on or before September 1,
2008) on Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. during the
period. To accommodate parent’s work schedules, all schools will
also hold an expanded registration day from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. on
March 18.
Parents who sign up for four-year-old Pre-Kindergarten classes
will be eligible for limited class slots. In case there are more
than 20 applicants, the school will hold a lottery drawing to
determine placement in the class. Application for the classes
will end at noon on March 21; lottery drawings will be held at 1
p.m. that day.
Parents whose children are selected by lottery will be able to
formally register their child in the following weeks at the
school system’s Central Office registration center on Werz
Industrial Drive in Newnan. The names of students who are not
selected will be placed on a waiting list, and will be eligible
if selected parents do not register their children for the
class.
Pre-K students in the Northside, Ruth Hill, Elm Street,
Atkinson, and Jefferson Parkway districts will register at
Jefferson Parkway Elementary School. All other students should
be registered at their district schools (call 770-254-2820 to
inquire about about school districts).
The application for Pre-K slots and registration for selected
students are being held separately because the school system has
begun registering all new students at the Werz Drive central
office.
To apply, parents must visit their districted school and
complete a purple Coweta County Pre-K registration form for each
child. The parent will cut off the registration portion of the
form and place it in the lottery box each site will have.
On Friday, March 21, at 1:00 p.m., the principal will draw names
from the box. Parents of the children whose names have been
drawn to fill the class will be required to come to Central
Registration to complete the remaining registration procedures.
More information about registration times and procedures can be
found at district schools, or by calling the registration office
at 770-254-5551. Information about new student registration and
directions to the Central Office can also be found at
www.cowetaschools.net/registration.
After School Programs are also available at Coweta County
schools, and parents can inquire about fees and times at their
district school.
