PRE-K4

Austin ISD Pre-K offers a nurturing, challenging environment to help children develop the skills they need to succeed throughout their academic career. Pre-K years are a period of rapid growth for a child, and the key concepts they develop in the Pre-K classroom directly correlate to their future academic success.

APPLICATION PROCESS

The Austin ISD Pre-K Eligibility Screener is now open for families interested in Fall 2022. The screener will be evaluated by the district in the spring of 2022 to determine non-tuition or tuition based eligibility.
