Get Your Pre-K Offer

 

Pre-K offers are released in the spring. All families who submit a pre-K application by the deadline receive a pre-K offer letter; those with MySchools accounts can also view their offer in MySchools. Your pre-K offer letter includes your child's Pre-K for All, and 3-K for All offers and lets you know where your child is waitlisted, if applicable. 

 

 

Accept Your Offer

Secure your child's seat by accepting your Pre-K for All, and 3-K for All offers by the deadline provided in your offer letter. The program will work with you to register your child. Be sure to accept your offer even if you are waitlisted at another program or programs.

 

 

Waitlists

Programs use waitlists to fill open seats after offers are made.

  • Your child will be automatically added to the waitlist for any program you ranked higher on your pre-K application than the program where your child got an offer.
  • You can also add your child to additional program's waitlists: this is optional.
  • Programs will contact you directly if they are able to offer your child a seat from the waitlist.
  • Learn more on our Waitlists page.
