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. Families can access the complete schedule of lotteries, the lottery livestream links, and archived videos of each lottery on the school district’s website at www.bullochschools.org/preklottery. 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 3-7.
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 2023-2024 school year for children to be placed on waiting lists or to fill any available seats that become open during the next school 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 using the contact information (phone number) provided during registration.
These are the new lottery times for March 30:
- Brooklet Elementary & Southeast Bulloch High School 9:00 a.m.
