Pre-Kindergarten registration set for August 9

Registration for Pasadena ISD's pre-kindergarten program will take place from 8 a.m.-3 p.m., Aug. 9 at each elementary school offering the program.

This program is open to four-year-old students who are either limited English proficient or from low income families or the child of active military personnel. Low income requirements are based on eligibility in the district's Free/Reduced Lunch Program. Enrollment at each campus is offered on a first come, first serve basis.

School boundary guidelines do not apply to the pre-kindergarten program, so if the elementary school your student is zoned to does not offer pre-kindergarten then they may attend another elementary offering the program.

Elementary schools offering pre-kindergarten include Burnett, Bush, Fisher, Frazier, Freeman, Gardens, Garfield, Genoa, Golden Acres, Jensen, Jessup, Kruse, Matthys, Meador, Morales, Parks, Pearl Hall, Pomeroy, Red Bluff, Richey, L.F. Smith, South Houston, South Shaver, Sparks, Stuchbery and Williams.
To enroll a child in school, Pasadena ISD requires that you have the following information to present to school personnel:
• A birth certificate or certified copy of a birth certificate (mandatory if the child has never been enrolled in a Texas public school before); and,
• A record of immunizations (demonstrating that shots are up-to-date).
• A social security card or document; and,
• School records (such as a Withdrawal Sheet or final report card), along with the address and phone number of the previous school.
• A deed, a mortgage, a mortgage payment book, or an apartment lease, and a current utility bill (present or previous month) to establish residence within the school district.

If you are living with another family and using their address as your residence, you and the owner or leaseholder must sign a legal Affidavit of Residence at the school. The Affidavit is a formal, sworn statement made by both parties, notarized at school, in the presence of school personnel, before residency status can be accepted. If you are not the parent listed on the birth certificate, you cannot register the child in school without an Enrollment Certificate. Certificates are issued only by campus personnel. Please provide whatever court documents, placement papers, CPS orders or agreements, or other legal documentation that establishes your guardianship at the time of registration.
