Tuition-based PreK
At this time our district leadership has decided that due to the pandemic, we will not be able to provide tuition-based Pre-K for the 2020-2021 school year. Anticipating a potential increase in eligible students and the impact of social distancing guidelines, it is necessary to increase the space within LISD’s classrooms to accommodate eligible students in keeping with state requirements. We will continue to make any updates to our program here and hope to be able to provide the tuition-based program in future school years.

The purpose of the LISD PreK program is to teach, grow and nurture each student in a positive and developmentally appropriate manner through a play-based curriculum, so that each student can be successful.

Transportation is provided for students in LISD's PreK program who live outside of the two-mile radius.
