2026-2027 Enrollment
Registration for the 2026-2027 school year has begun. Packets will include a cover letter that will walk you through the documents and fees required for enrollment.
Current 0-2 families:
Registration packets are coming. Packets will be distributed by your classroom teacher in the next two weeks. Please note: current residency must be submitted to secure your spot. If you have updated immunizations, please submit the GA 3231 form with your packet.
Current Pre-K/Rising Kindergarten families:
Your Pre-K student will be automatically enrolled in your neighborhood school for Kindergarten. There is nothing families need to do at this time. We encourage you to reach out to your home school if you will need aftercare services for your student to find out about the enrollment process.
Prospective Pre-K families (new to College Heights or new to CSD):
Families, you are our best ambassadors for our school. Do you know of friends or neighbors with a rising Pre-K student? We would love to get to know them! Please let them know that registration begins Monday, February 2 and lasts through Friday, February 27. Click here for more information on the timeline and procedure for Pre-K registration.

Library News
This week, Pre-K students learned about the Caldecott Medal and we used the spinning wheel of names to select one or two students from each class to choose a Caldecott Medal or Honor-winning book to read aloud that day. We talked about being good sports if your name is not selected, and students did a great job cheering for their friends who were selected.
Come get some amazing Black History Month books to share with your family, or email me and I'll be happy to put together a selection for you and send books home through your child's backpack.
Pre-K families: If you have not yet returned your library contract, it is due next Friday, February 13. If you need an additional copy, please email Leslie or download and print it here.
Check the DEI book cart for some exciting new books. Many thanks to Angela Gabriel and Charis Books & More for the generous donation of books for our cart. This cart is completely self-service and is located across from Ms. Caretha's desk in the lobby.
