Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten (VPK) Enrollment Options

  • The state of Florida does not currently allow for online learning options for Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten, also known as VPK. Our district VPK programs will be held in our schools with precautions taken to prevent the spread of COVID-19.  Students in VPK settings will be issued a clear plastic face shield so they are able to move around the classroom more freely.

     

    The late application period for VPK Fall Registration is now open. Here is what you need to know before you apply: 

    • Your child must be 4 years old on or before September 1, 2020 in order to enroll in the VPK program.
    • Parents will be able to select up to three С³óߣ- VPK programs, in order of preference that the student is eligible to attend.
    • A student whose home school is Title I can only attend a Title I VPK program; a student whose home school is Non-Title I can only attend a Non-Title I VPK program.
    • Students accepted into a Non-Title I VPK program must adhere to the VPK extended day fee schedule if child remains in school after 11:30am ($300.00 monthly).
