The preschool lottery, for community peers, will take place on February 25, 2020 from 10:00 AM-11:00 AM. In order to be considered for the lottery you need to complete either the online or paper Lottery Registration Form (both will be available on January 24th). If completing the paper version, the lottery application should be returned to the McGovern School no later than February 18, 2020. Online submissions must also be received by February 18, 2020. We will notify families of lottery results by February 28, 2020. Finally, registration for students attending the Integrated Preschool will be on Thursday, March 26, 2020 from 3:30 PM-6:00 PM and on Saturday, March 28, 2020 from 9:00 AM-12:00 PM at the McGovern School. Registration packets can be picked up at the Superintendent's Office or the McGovern Main Office after January 24, 2020.
Parent Pick-Up
Please remember that Preschool pick-up is at 2:30 PM. If you are a kindergarten or 1st grade parent, please do not get into the pick-up loop until after 2:40 PM. This will alleviate any flow of traffic issues.
Thank you for your cooperation!
