District hosts in-person pre-K registration event
While the Class of 2026 is graduating this week, the Class of 2040 is peparing to get their educational journeys started!
That’s right, it’s almost time for the Class of 2040 and 2041 to start pre-K. That’s why Arlington ISD’s pre-K team hosted an in-person registration event this weekend at the Arlington ISD Athletics Center to help parents get their soon-to-be students signed up for pre-K 3 and pre-K 4. School starts in just a little over two months on Aug. 12.
“We want to make registration accessible to our families,” said Dr. Elena Guerrero, Arlington ISD director of curriculum and instruction for pre-K through second grade. “This provides an opportunity on a weekend where they can take their time, get help, and get their kids registered.”
But it’s not too late if you missed the registration event. Registration is always open online, and the district will host more in-person opportunities this summer. See the in-person registration schedule.
Guerrero also emphasized that her team is always happy to answer questions and provide support over the phone. Their number is (682) 867-9418, and their email is email prekquestions@aisd.net.
Guerrero and her team know how important pre-K is for brand-new students.
“Pre-K establishes the foundation of early learning,” she said. It gives students an opportunity to have a routine and structure to be ready for kindergarten. It’s also an opportunity for parents to really begin to understand how our school system works and how impactful early literacy and early math concepts are.”
The full-day pre-K 4 program in Arlington ISD offers the structure that helps kids get ready for kindergarten, plus a whole lot me.
“It also provides lots of opportunities with our STEM programming, and it just gives students insight into other things that otherwise they would be missing if they were not enrolled in school yet,” Guerrero said.
With a fun, play-based curriculum and caring, certified teachers, Arlington ISD’s pre-K helps students build the firm foundation that will carry them through their educational journey all the way to their graduation in 2040 and 2041.
