St. Charles Unit District 303 conducts online registration for 2021-22 preschool program

St. Charles Unit District 303 is conducting online lottery registration for its Community Preschool Program from Jan. 19 through Feb. 2. Visit district.d303.org. Please note that survey will not be live until Jan. 19.

For the 2021-2022 school year, District 303 is offering a five-day-a-week, half-day, morning or afternoon preschool program at Fox Ridge Early Childhood Center.

The program is open to children who reside within the District 303 school boundaries, are between the ages of 3 and 5 years old and are not eligible for kindergarten.

The preschool fee for the program is $285 per month. A $100 annual nonrefundable registration and materials fee will also be required. (Note: Monthly fees and registration/materials fee are pending school board approval.)

The school district will offer two live informational meetings on Zoom for all interested community parents who reside in District 303: Wednesday, Jan. 20, from 11:45 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.; and Thursday, Jan. 21, from 6 to 6:30 p.m.

If you are interested in attending, complete the form at district.d303.org. After registration, Zoom links will be sent via email.

Since space may be limited, an enrollment lottery for new preschool students will be held. The enrollment lottery will be offered online on the district website (district.d303.org) between Tuesday, Jan. 19, and Tuesday, Feb. 2.

The lottery will take place on Feb. 3, and parents will be notified via email if their child was randomly selected. Registrants who are not chosen will be placed on a waiting list and will be notified if space becomes available. For more information, call the Early Childhood office at (331) 228-4834.
