Step 3 - PreK/Kindergarten Screening Process - Upon completion of your online registration, you will receive communication from your building principal in February or March.

Your building principal will provide details about the screening process for your child. The screening process helps us get to know your child as we partner with you to ensure the best learning environment for each of our learners.

  • The screening process MUST be completed prior to your child being placed in a PreK or Kindergarten HPS classroom for the 2026-2027 school year. 
  • If your child currently attends our preschool programs, your child’s screening will be completed by their preschool teacher during their regular school day.

Step 4 - Notification of Placement

Parents will be notified of the placement decision by May 31, 2026. Information about a late summer open house for students will be included in the communication.
