Parents can still apply for limited Coweta
County School System Pre-Kindergarten classes through noon on
Friday, March 21, at their child’s district school.
If students are selected for placement in the limited-space
classes on March 21, parents will then be asked to formally
enroll their child in the Coweta County School System at the
Central Registration Center, located in the school system’s
Central Office at 167 Werz Industrial Drive in Newnan.
The names of students who are not selected for limited pre-K
spots on Friday will be placed on a waiting list for that class.
The center has announced specific weeks for pre-K registration
by school. Parents whose children are selected for registration
can pick up registration packets at the central registration
center prior to their school’s registration week. Parents are
encouraged to call the center at 770-254-5551 to schedule an
appointment for registration.
The Central Registration Center is open Mondays, Wednesdays and
Fridays from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and on Tuesdays and
Thursdays from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. pre-K registration dates
for selected students are:
 |
Jefferson Parkway (serving Northside, Ruth Hill, Elm
Street, Atkinson, and Jefferson Parkway pre-K students)
- March 24 through March 28 |
|
|
Arbor Springs, Arnco-Sargent, Canongate and Grantville -
March 31 though April 4 |
|
|
Eastside, Moreland, Newnan Crossroads, Poplar Road and
Thomas Crossing - April 14 through April 18 |
|
|
Welch, Western, White Oak and Willis Road - April 21
through April 25 |
In addition to Pre-K registration
during the above dates, parents who wish to register new
students for Kindergarten can do so for all elementary schools
on any weekday April 1 through May 1.
The Central Registration Center is located in the back of the
Werz Drive Central Office. Parking is available in the back and
parents are encouraged to enter the Registration Center through
the double doors at the back of the building.
The registration center will take walk-ins, but parents are
encouraged to call for an appointment to decrease wait times.
More information about registration times and procedures can be
found at district schools, or by calling the Registration Center
at 770-254-5551. Information about new student registration and
directions to the Central Office can also be found at
www.cowetaschools.net/registration.
Students must be four years old on or before September 1, 2008,
to be eligible for next year’s Pre-K classes. Students must be
five years old on or before September 1, 2008, to be eligible
for Kindergarten classes at their district school.
Unlike Kindergarten and other elementary school grades, there
are a limited number of Pre-K classes in Coweta schools. If more
than 20 students apply for an available Pre-K class, the school
must hold a lottery drawing to determine placement in the class.
Application for the limited Pre-K spots will end at noon on
Friday, March 21; lottery drawings will be held at 1 p.m. that
day. Parents do not need to be present for the drawing. No
enrollment documentation is required to apply for Pre-K at
schools, but parents should be certain that they are applying at
their correct district school. Call 770-254-2820 to inquire
about which elementary school district serves a home.
Pre-K students in the Northside, Ruth Hill, Elm Street,
Atkinson, and Jefferson Parkway districts will apply for slots
at Jefferson Parkway Elementary School, since those schools’
Pre-K classes are located at Jefferson Parkway. All other
students should apply at their district school.
To apply, parents must visit their districted school and
complete a purple Coweta County Pre-K registration form for each
child. The parent will cut off the registration portion of the
form and place it in the lottery box each site will have.
Georgia’s four-year-old Pre-Kindergarten classes are also
offered at select day care centers around Coweta County, which
register students separately. |
