REGISTRATION FOR THE 2022-2023 SCHOOL YEAR IS NOW OPEN

Preschool Program

Los Alamos Public Schools will have preschool programs at every elementary school site for the 2022-2023 school year.

The Los Alamos Public School district uses SchoolMint Registration, an online data collection system, for student registration for each school year. The system is fully secure and environmentally conscientious, and allows the district to verify all student information prior to the start of the new school year. The registration system also allows for the electronic signing of all annual permission forms.

You will be asked to create a new SchoolMint account and enter information for each child. This information will be saved, and you will not have to re-enter this information in subsequent years. You will be asked to complete a form for each child attending LAPS. Be sure to select the 2022-2023 school year when completing the online registration form.

Changes to PreK Schedule for 2022-2023

Los Alamos Public Schools will be making adjustments to the Pre-K schedule next year. Beginning in August, students in the preschool program for 4-year-olds will attend school four days a week from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm. Students will not attend school on Wednesdays. LAPS is working with the YMCA and other local childcare providers to have an option for 4Y students after school and on Wednesdays.

Full school days will allow for more balanced teacher and child-directed times. Students will have more time in the classroom with their peers and with hands-on activities.

This change will also allow for the school schedule to be the same for all students attending the elementary schools, and provide opportunities for preschool students to participate in events at the school sites, including special classes, such as Art, Music, PE and Library in the afternoon.

Preschool classes will be available at all elementary sites next year. In addition, the program will add another 3Y classroom at Mountain Elementary, and an additional 4Y classroom at Chamisa Elementary.
