Cherokee County schools will conduct open enrollment for its Georgia Lottery Pre-K program starting Feb. 3 for the 2020-’21 school year.
"The early start provides parents more time to seek other preschool options should their 4-year-old not win a spot in the lottery drawing for the program's limited seats," according to a school district announcement.
Pre-K classes will be offered at Ball Ground ES STEM Academy, Hasty ES Fine Arts Academy, Oak Grove ES Fine Arts Academy, R.M. Moore ES STEM Academy and Johnston ES Preschool Center.
Parents can apply between 8 a.m. and noon, Monday through Friday, Feb. 3-March 6 at the participating schools. Names will be drawn at 3 p.m., March 11, to fill the available spaces. Students who are four years old on or before Sept. 1, 2020, are eligible to enroll.
Out-of-attendance zone students will be admitted only after eligible children applying from inside the school attendance area are enrolled, officials said. For a list of documents needed for enrollment and other information: https://bit.ly/2PG0xIk
