ATTENTION PARENTS! Several Fort Bend ISD elementary schools currently have immediate availability in the prekindergarten program. Sign those little ones up today, especially parents who are relying on daycare.
FORT BEND ISD – The prekindergarten experience can have a great influence on a child’s educational career and helps set the stage for lifelong learning. To help serve area four-year-old children who are eligible for prekindergarten, Fort Bend ISD is continuing enrollment for the half-day program at several elementary schools.
The following elementary schools currently have immediate availability in the prekindergarten program: Barrington Place, Colony Meadows, Lantern Lane, Mission Glen, Quail Valley and Townewest. The Bilingual Program is available at Fleming, Mission West and Parks Elementary Schools. Parents may also check the FBISD Curriculum website for information regarding registration requirements.
To be eligible for prekindergarten, a child must be four years old on or before September 1, be a Fort Bend ISD resident, and meet one of the following specifications:
- Limited English proficient because a language other than English is the primary language spoken in the home (Students qualifying by language will be tested to determine placement in the program.), or
- Qualify according to the Federal Income Eligibility Guidelines (Parents must bring proof of income, documentation for at least one month of income, including current check stubs, child support statement of payment, SNAP qualification letter, etc.), or
- Be homeless, or
- Have current or previous conservatorship of the Department of Family and Protective Services, or
- Is the dependent child of an active U.S. Armed Forces member or a U.S. Armed Forces member who has been injured or killed while on active duty.
Families with students who meet the eligibility requirements are encouraged to contact the campus Attendance Clerk to make an appointment to register. Spaces are filled on a “first-come, first-served” basis, and will not be held because of missing documents. If there are no openings at a family’s chosen school, the family will be directed to the next nearest campus.
Families are asked to contact the elementary campus Attendance Clerk or visit the prekindergarten website for more information.
