First, your child must meet the age requirement. He or she must be four by September 1, 2019.

Secondly, he or she must meet one of the following criteria:

• Limited English proficiency
• Economically disadvantaged
• Homeless
• Child of an active, deceased or injured member of the United States armed forces

What documents do I need in order to verify eligibility?

• Birth certificate
• Immunization record
• Child’s social security card (if available)
• Proof of address
• Parent/guardian picture ID
• Proof of income/1040 Form (District staff can assist families needing additional documents)

When will I need to provide those documents?

Parents will be notified if their child is accepted to an Uplift Pre-K program.  They will then be asked to attend a Pre-Attendance Conference (PAC) where they will need to provide the required documentation. If interested in full day Pre-K, a 1040 Form/Proof of income must be provided. If parents are unable to attend the PAC, individual meetings are scheduled to obtain all documents. 

Currently the following dates are scheduled for PACs.

• April 27, 2019 – Uplift Luna, Uplift Peak and Uplift White Rock Hills
• May 4, 2019 – Uplift Infinity and Uplift Triumph
• May 11, 2019 – Uplift Grand, Uplift Meridian, and Uplift Mighty
