We are excited to offer a high-quality Pre-Kindergarten (Pre-K) program at Van Alstyne ISD. The State of Texas provides free Pre-K to eligible students to support early childhood development and prepare them for success in kindergarten and beyond.

• The child is economically disadvantaged (eligible for free or reduced-price lunch).

• The child is unable to speak and comprehend the English language.

• The child is homeless, as defined by federal law.

• The child is in or has been in foster care in Texas.

• The child has a parent on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces, including the Texas National Guard.

• The child has a parent who was injured or killed in the line of duty while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces.

• The child has a parent or guardian who has received the Star of Texas Award as a peace officer, firefighter, or emergency medical first responder.

If you believe your child qualifies for free Pre-K, please submit the required documentation to [School Office or Registration Website] by [Deadline]. Acceptable documents may include proof of income, military service records, foster care verification, or other applicable paperwork.
