    You may register in the following ways:

    Children registering for 2018--2019 must be:

    • a resident of Gaston County

    What to bring:
    • Proof of child's age
    • Valid ID of parent/guardian registering child
    • Two proofs of residence documents (power, water, gas, cable, landline telephone, rent, or mortgage) or residence affidavit

    Please note that registering a child for pre-kindergarten does not assure that the child will be offered placement. There is limited pre-kindergarten space at each of the sites, so there is not room for every child who registers. Each child who registers will be screened and children showing the greatest need for preschool will be placed first. Others will be placed on a waiting list. If your child is placed in a pre-kindergarten classroom out of your assigned attendance district, you will be responsible for providing transportation for your child to and from school.
