Pre-Kindergarten Enrollment

Due to the huge demand for pre-kindergarten services, the Newton County School System utilizes a lottery system to assign children slots in the system’s Pre-K program. Each of our twelve elementary schools has two Pre-K classes with twenty students per class. The school system has applied to the state for Pre-K classes for South Salem Elementary School, which is scheduled to open in August 2008.

Registration for the 2008-2009 Pre-K program was held March 24-28, 2008. Only those registered during that week will be included in the Lottery Pre-K drawing. Parents may still register their children and have them placed on the waiting list for their school.
