2026-27 Pre-K Registration
Pre-K registration for the drawing for the 2026-2027 school year is scheduled for February 23 - March 20, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., Monday - Friday, at your eligible zoned school. The digital lottery drawing will be on March 30, 2026.
This registration affords parents an opportunity to enter their child's name into a random drawing for the limited number of slots available at each school's zoned site. It does not guarantee a Pre-K seat at the school. Each child will be assigned a unique Pre-K drawing number when registering for the drawing at their zoned school. This number will be used during the digital drawing on March 30, 2026, at the Columbia County Board of Education. Results for each drawing will be posted on school websites and at the school by 4:00 p.m. on March 30, 2026. Parents do not need to attend the drawing.
After receiving notification that your child's name was selected for a Pre-K seat, parents MUST complete the additional new-student registration information.
Online registration for the drawing is not available because the packet includes state-required forms. Parents can access a link to printable blank forms to complete, sign, and bring to the school. Anyone wishing to register after the drawing on March 30, 2026, will be added to the bottom of the waiting list in the order in which registration forms are received.
