 Registration will be held at every Lamar CISD elementary school. Click here if you aren’t sure to which school your child is zoned.

 Studies show that kids who attend Pre-K are:

  • Three times more likely to be ready for kindergarten;
  • More likely to succeed in school;
  • More likely to go to college; and
  • Less likely to drop out of school.
