Pre-K registration for the upcoming school year opens each February for students who are 3 or 4 by October 1st. Registration information can be found here.

Eligible students will be enrolling for an opportunity to attend the Universal Preschool Program with placement at various sites throughout the District. Placement will be based on the availability of seats (a lottery will be held if the number of applicants exceeds the number of available seats). Waitlisted students will be placed as seats become available.

Join our Montrose Families Facebook group! It’s run by the PTA as a great resource to ask specific questions, meet other parents, and stay informed. During the school year, we have monthly outdoor play-dates and field last-minute questions about picture day, district half-days, aftercare options, and workshop offerings.

Short answer: Your Montrose student will be automatically enrolled for Kindergarten.

Long answer from SOMSD: Families of PreK students who are currently enrolled in a District PreK program (i.e. either through Montrose or through one of our partner PreK satellite sites) do not need to re-register their child for Kindergarten enrollment.  All current District PreK4 students will automatically be placed into Kindergarten based on the District's Intentional Integration Initiative (https://bit.ly/SOMSDIII). Only families with students who will be new to the District will have to register their child for Kindergarten, meaning their child is not currently enrolled/attending a District PreK program.

For district half days, 8:15 am to 11:15 am.
