New date and time for BCS Pre-K lottery drawings announced

Bulloch County Schools' Pre-Kindergarten program has announced a new date and times for its lottery drawings.

The virtual events are now scheduled for Thursday, March 30, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. 

The change was made to provide families and schools more time after the lotteries for any questions and seat confirmations prior to the school district's spring break on April 3 to 7.

A Pre-Kindergarten lottery is held for each school zone where there are more registered students than available Pre-K class slots.  

To be considered for the Pre-Kindergarten lottery drawing for the 2023-2024 school year, parents and guardians had to complete the registration process for their child by Friday, March 17. 

The district currently has 11 pre-kindergarten sites to serve 436 children. 

Pre-Kindergarten registration will remain open throughout the 2022-2023 school year for children to be placed on waiting lists or to fill any available seats that become open during the year.

After the lottery drawings, registering parents/guardians are asked to contact their school by April 19, 2023, to officially accept or decline their child's Pre-K class seat if their child was selected during a lottery drawing. 

Parents of all students chosen during a lottery drawing must formally accept the enrollment. The school district will also notify parents by phone using the contact information provided during registration.
