At San Angelo ISD, we are growing hopes and dreams starting with some of the youngest
learners in our community! We are now accepting online applications for the upcoming
2023-2024 school year for our full-day Pre-kindergarten (Pre-K) Program for children 4 years
old on or before September 1, 2022. San Angelo ISD offers a free, eligibility-based Pre-K and
a limited capacity, tuition-based Pre-K for students living within the San Angelo ISD
attendance boundaries.
Eligibility-Based Pre-Kindergarten
SAISD will continue to offer a full-day Pre-K Program that is open and free to children who

Tuition-Based Pre-Kindergarten
For families who do not meet the eligibility requirements for free Pre-K, San Angelo ISD will
begin offering a full-day, tuition-based Pre-K in the 2023-2024 school year. San Angelo ISD
families living within the district attendance zone and SAISD employees are eligible to enroll
in the tuition-based Pre-K program through online enrollment for new students and are
placed through a lottery system based on capacity in the program. The tuition for the Pre-K
program is $450/month per student for the general public and $360/month per student for
SAISD employees for each of the ten months of the school year regardless of the number of
days in the month.
Upon notification of an available lottery spot, a non-refundable registration fee of $50.00 will
be due by Friday, May 12, 2023. Failure to pay the registration fee by May 12, 2023 could
result in the loss of your child's Pre-K spot. The first month’s tuition payment is due by Friday,
May 26, 2023.
SAISD is excited to welcome Pre-K students, and to provide a relevant and inspiring
education to the future of San Angelo. Our Pre-K program is designed to provide your child
with skills in listening, speaking, reading and writing. We also offer a unique program for
bilingual Spanish-speaking students starting in Pre-K where children receive instruction in the
student’s first language to become proficient in listening, speaking, reading and writing in
both English and Spanish.
Space is limited, so register today to reserve your student’s spot. To register your student for
the Pre-K program or Bilingual Pre-K program, you will need to complete a “New Student
