FORT BEND ISD ― Registration for the Fort Bend ISD 2010-2011 Prekindergarten Program will take place on May 4 and May 5, 2010. To qualify for the Prekindergarten program, a child must be:

• FBISD school district resident
• Four years old on or before September 1, 2010, and
• unable to speak or comprehend the English language, or eligible for free/reduced lunch according to federal guidelines, or homeless, or in foster care (currently or previously) or must have a parent currently on active military duty (or injured or killed while on active duty)

The following campuses will have PreK for the 2010-2011 school year: *Armstrong, Barrington Place, Blue Ridge, Briargate, *Burton, Colony Meadows, Drabek, *Fleming, Glover, Highlands, *Holley, Hunters Glen, *Jones, Jordan, Mission Bend, Mission Glen, *Mission West, *Parks, Pecan Grove, Quail Valley, *Ridgegate, *Ridgemont, Settlers Way, and Townewest. (*indicates campuses that will offer bilingual Prek classes)

To register a child for Prekindergarten, parents will need a copy of their child’s birth certificate (or its equivalent), immunization records, social security card (If unavailable, a state ID number will be assigned.), and proof of residence—which should include a deed, lease or mortgage agreement, a current utility bill (gas, water or electric) or an unexpired Texas driver’s license (or other government provided photo ID of the parent or guardian) that contains the FBISD address of the parent or guardian.

Each school will set its own dates and times for PreK registration after May 1, so please contact your child’s campus to learn specific days, times, and programs that are available. Also, since FBISD does not provide transportation for the PreK program, parents may register their child at any PreK campus. For more information, please call the school in which your child will enroll or the FBISD PreK office at 281-634-1140.
