    • Thank you, for your interest in HISD’s Magnet pre-kindergarten programs.  We would like to update you on the state guidelines that support pre-kindergarten programming and enrollment in Texas.

       To be eligible for enrollment in HISD non-tuition based pre-kindergarten program, a child must:

      • be 4 years of age on or before September 1st of the enrolling school year AND a resident of HISD.
      • be unable to speak and comprehend the English language, or
      • be economically disadvantaged (defined below), or
      • meet any eligibility criteria for Head Start, or
      • be homeless, as defined by [42 USC 11434a], or

      If your child is not eligible for the HISD non-tuition based pre-kindergarten program and you have applied for a Magnet pre-kindergarten program for the 2022-2023 school year, your application will be labeled as “qualified pending."  A “qualified pending” applicant will not be considered until after all eligible students have been offered service and a determination of space availability has been made by the Office of School Choice at a future date.
