Pre-Kindergarten

Lone Oak ISD educates eligible 4-year-olds in full day Pre-Kindergarten.

Each spring, Lone Oak ISD hosts Pre-Kindergarten Roundup to register students entering pre-kindergarten the following school year. To attend pre-kindergarten, students must be four years of age or older on or before September 1.

This early registration process gives parents information to ease the transition into pre-kindergarten and assists the District in planning for enrollment growth and staffing needs. Please take advantage of this opportunity to register your child!

To determine eligibility, refer to the criteria below.
