PreKindergarten

First time CISD PreK students will enroll as a New Student. If you are a returning Pre-K student, then you will enroll under Returning Student Enrollment.

Crandall ISD offers a full-day prekindergarten program at all elementary campuses across the District. Students must be four years of age on or before September 1 of the target school year.

The program is free for qualifying students only. The focus of the prekindergarten program is to develop oral language skills, prerequisite skills for emergent readers and early math concepts, and to build readiness skills for successful entry into kindergarten.

The Pre-K Program is a full day program that follows the hours of the campus it is housed on.
