Pre K Registration
High-quality Pre-K programs have been proven to positively affect the social, emotional and academic development of young children. Students can develop language, pre-math, and social skills, making the transition to kindergarten much more accessible. Registering your child in Sweeny ISD’s PreK program will give them the gift of a brighter future. Studies show that children who attend PreK are more likely to succeed in school, more likely to graduate, and more likely to go to college. As adults, they also earn higher incomes, on average, than similar students who did not attend PreK.
Sweeny ISD is pleased to have you visiting our page and look forward to the opportunity to teach your children. Please take some time to review the information below and begin the registration process.
