Tuition-Based Pre-K

Tuition-Based Pre-K is a full-day program for HEB ISD students who are 4 years old by September 1st.

Families do not need to live within HEB ISD boundaries to enroll a child in the tuition-based program.
Enrollment will be determined by a lottery system based on application choices, with students at random for each school year.
First month's tuition payment ($650) is required upon acceptance into the program to reserve the student's spot.
The $6,500 annual tuition is payable based on the current calendar school days, regardless of the number of school days of service in any particular month. A monthly payment schedule is available. Prompt tuition payment is required each month to maintain your child's placement.
Tuition-Based seats are offered on the following campuses: Bedford Heights | Meadow Creek | Spring Garden | Trinity Lakes | Viridian

The Pre-K Program will follow the HEB ISD school calendar.
- School day hours are 7:45 a.m.- 3:05 p.m., with drop-off as early as 7:30 a.m.

Lottery Application & Process

PowerSchool, the same online vendor HEB ISD utilizes for all application/registration for our district, will conduct the Lottery for the Tuition-Based Pre-Kindergarten (TBPK) program. The lottery does not guarantee placement in the program. However, it determines the rank order for students once they are categorized based on the criteria established by the District and generated through the PowerSchool TBPK Lottery system.

If you are interested in applying for the lottery, please click here.

Once your application has been approved, your family will enter the TBPK lottery system. The District does not discriminate on the basis of gender, race, creed, ethnicity, or religion.

Order of Lottery

Campuses will be filled with first round lottery selection from applicants (parent or legal guardian) who are HEB district residents and/or HEB ISD employees.

District residents must provide either a current utility bill (phone bills will not be accepted) or a mortgage/lease agreement with name and address for verification; ISD employees must provide a copy of their ID badge.

A second round lottery will be used to fill remaining openings from applicants who are non-district residents and/or employees.

Considerations

For families of multiples (i.e. twins, triplets, etc.) one Lottery number will be assigned per family. If the last number drawn belongs to a family of multiples, the parent will be given the choice to assume the last spot with one child and place the remaining sibling(s) on a waiting list, or place all children on another available campus.

Notification After Lottery

Families of students admitted to the Tuition-Based Pre-Kindergarten program are notified by email and must accept by a predetermined date.
Campuses will be filled with first round lottery selection from applicants who are district residents and/or HEB ISD employees. A second round lottery will be used to fill remaining openings for applicants who are non-district residents.
A child will not be eligible for placement on a campus that is not marked on the application.
Applications received after the annual application window will be placed on a waiting list. As space becomes available, families will be contacted and offered a space based on their place on the waiting list.
A child's spot will be forfeited to the next available candidate if enrollment documents, along with first month's tuition fee ($650). Once the child has been accepted for placement, they will not be transferred to another campus
