Fulton County schools has announced that it’s holding kindergarten registration dates for students next month.

During the two days for registration — May 4, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and May 5, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. — parents of incoming kindergarten students, as well as other new elementary students entering school in August, can register their children for the 2016-17 school year. Registration is happening at all Fulton elementary schools, according to school officials.

To register new students, parents should visit the school their child will attend in the fall. Documents needed for registration, include immunization records for kindergartners and pre-kindergarten students.

Over 1,700 spaces in pre-k classes are available at 45 elementary schools throughout the county. Pre-k registration dates vary by school, and enrollment is handled by a lottery system.

Parents also can visit the Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning's website, to determine the availability of other privately-funded pre-k program providers.
