Families can register pre-K and kindergarten students March 3-31 through the myFWCS Parent Portal at https://myfwcs.fortwayneschools.org/esnap. Student birth certificates and two proofs of address will be required to complete registration.
While full-day kindergarten is available to all students, there are a limited number of pre-K spaces available. If there are more pre-K applicants than space available, FWCS will use selection guidelines as prescribed by the U.S. Department of Education, including the academic needs of students, to admit students.
FWCS offers a variety of full- and half-day pre-K programs through Title I funding, as well as magnet programs. All programs are accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children and have earned the Level 4 Paths to Quality rating, making the programs eligible to accept Indiana’s On My Way Pre-K Grants.
