Weather Watch: No Jan. 31 Activities

We are closely monitoring the next round of winter weather expected this weekend for our area. Based on the forecast and after consulting with local emergency teams, all extra-curricular activities for Saturday, Jan. 31, have been canceled.

Any decision concerning our Monday school schedule will be shared with families no later than Sunday evening through email/text messages, our websites, social media, and local media stations. If you are not receiving our direct messages, please check your contact information in the Parent Portal.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we continue to navigate through our weather challenges.

PRE-K LOTTERY

After submitting your Pre-K lottery application, you will receive a confirmation email. The drawing for the 2026–27 Pre-K school year will be March 2, 2026. You will receive a notification on the day of the drawing.

 

The Warren County School System logo features the words 'BOLD Beginnings'.

Families with more than one child eligible for Pre-K will be drawn together. The lottery consists of random drawings from all applicants within that elementary school attendance zone. The Pre-K Classes will be filled by randomly selecting 20 students per class, and the school will assign them to their respective Pre-K classes. All families submitting Pre-K Lottery applications will be notified by email whether their child is on a Pre-K class list or on a waiting list. If your student is selected in the lottery drawing, Pre-K screenings are expected. Pre-K screening dates will be March 9, 10, and 11th. Screenings will be at the schools. The school will send you more information about the screening. Children of full-time BCSS employees (legal guardians) will receive lottery priority and be allowed to enroll in the school of their choice.

ABOUT THE PRE-K PROGRAM

All Barrow County School System (BCSS) Pre-K classes are pending state budget funding and approval of the BCSS Pre-K Grant Agreement by Bright from the Start, Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning.

The BCSS Pre-K classes teach the Bright from The Start GELDS (Georgia Early Learning and Development Standards) using the Frog Street Excel Pre-K curriculum, and the Heggerty Phonemic Awareness Curriculum.

All BCSS Georgia Pre-K Program classes will be at our ten elementary schools. They will follow the BCSS calendar and elementary school hours (7:30 a.m.-2 p.m.). Bus transportation will be available within your child's elementary school zone. Pre-K students must attend class within their elementary attendance zone (unless student numbers create a need for a combo class).
