IMPORTANT! Registrations for the 2026-27 school year opened on Wednesday, April 8, 2026, at 8:00 am. This round of registrations includes children of full-time certified teachers assigned to provide instruction in an FBISD PreK–12 classroom for at least half a day.

If you are a full-time certified teacher assigned to provide instruction in an FBISD PreK–12 classroom for at least half a day, and your child turns four years old on or before September 1, 2026, your child qualifies for tuition-free Prekindergarten for the 2026-27 school year.

Review the steps below to ensure your child is approved for enrollment.

Steps to Apply for Tuition-Free PreK 4:

Age Requirement for the 2026-27 school year - Your child must be 4 years old by September 1, 2026.

Register in SkywardQ - Your child must be registered in the system to review eligibility.
Use your FBISD e-mail to complete the Microsoft Form provided in the registration application in SkywardQ, and select three elementary school campuses (the three selected campuses must be different; selecting only one campus decreases placement options considerably). Completing the Microsoft Form without submitting the SkywardQ application does not secure a spot on any FBISD Pre-K campus. Both forms are required for enrollment.
Submit All Required Documents - Ensure all registration documents are received (child's birth certificate and immunization record, parent/guardian identification, current utility bill, and proof of residency [lease, deed, or property tax statement]).
Approval Notification - Children will be enrolled only after the Early Childhood Department verifies the teacher assignment to the classroom. Approval will be communicated to the teacher via email. Please allow 7-10 school days for the approval process. ADAs are processing a high volume of applications and can enroll only children of full-time certified teachers assigned to provide instruction in an FBISD PreK–12 classroom for at least half a day, once they receive approval from Early Childhood.

IMPORTANT: Children of FBISD staff or other certified teachers who are not assigned to classrooms can participate in the Pre-K4 tuition-based program, which opens on April 24th, 2026.
