Arlington ISD offering free STEM for ALL pre-K four-year-olds
Posted in on April 5, 2022

Pre-K Registration is tonight from 5 p.m. – 7 p.m. at any of our elementary schools except the academies at Corey and Jones. (See a list of pre-K campuses.)

Parents can come and go and enroll their children for either pre-K 3 or pre-K 4. School staff will be on hand to answer any questions you have and help with the registration process.

Registration can also be done online at aisd.net/prek.

Pre-K Registration Roundup is a big deal at many schools. At Ashworth Elementary, for example, it’s going to be a lot of fun.

“While families complete the in-person registration process, the future pre-K Mustangs will go to the classroom with the teachers and do some fun activities,” said Ashworth Principal Stacey Maddoux. “Every student who comes to PK Roundup will receive a gift to take home and use all summer to be even more prepared for school. We cannot wait to meet our youngest learners and get them started!”

Full STEM Ahead!

Arlington ISD is offering universal pre-K for 4-year-olds next year. That means it’s free for all 4-year-olds. Every child is welcome at no cost to the parents.

Plus, Arlington ISD is taking its pre-K curriculum to a whole new level with STEM (science, technology, engineering and math). STEM in pre-K is all about hands-on discovery. It’s messy fun that brings learning to life. It’s about exploring and trying new things. It sparks questions and curiosity and gives kids the chance to pursue that curiosity and find answers to their questions.

Pre-K is critically important. It gets children ready to learn, teaches important social and emotional skills and fosters the development of verbal skills and self-control. Students who go to pre-K get a jump start on reading and are usually ahead of their peers who wait until kindergarten to start school. That’s why Arlington ISD’s pre-K programs have been carefully and lovingly designed to help every child thrive – to launch them on a lifelong journey of learning – and all in a super fun, loving, nurturing, safe environment.
