Registration begins April 1st for Vigo County Schools
VIGO COUNTY, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — The school year is not quite over, but enrollment for next year is already beginning. Enrollment for Vigo County Schools will officially open on April 1st, on a first come first serve basis. This year, Vigo County will be offering new programs for pre-school students. Vigo County's Director of Elementary Education, Teresa Stuckey, said there will be six new pre-school classes. Half will be for three-year-olds, and half will be for four-year-olds. This year, two new locations will be offering classes as well. 'One of the locations is just adding a three-year-old program, then we have two brand new spots', Stuckey said. 'We are offering a three and a four-year-old class at Fayette Elementary and we are also offering two four-year-old classes and a three-year-old class at Sarah Scott Middle School.' Stuckey said the curriculum for the programs will not differ from what they are currently teaching, just with the two added locations, as Vigo County Pre-schools are a level three out of four on the Paths to Quality Standards. 'Pre-school programs that we offer are Paths to Quality Level 3', Stuckey said. 'We know that the early years of a child's life are very critical in their learning, and we want to offer those programs that will give them the best chance for success and learning along their peers at the same level.'

Vigo County schools add new pre-K programs as enrollment begins April 1
The Vigo County School Corp. is adding pre-K programs for 3- and 4-year-olds and two new locations for the 2025-26 school year. Enrollment for pre-K begins April 1. "We are super excited as we begin this new enrollment period that we have additional programs to offer," said Teresa Stuckey, VCSC director of elementary education. The district's pre-K programs are Paths to Quality Level 3. "We know that the early years of a child's life are very critical in their learning and we want to offer those programs that will give them the best chance for success," Stuckey said. The district is offering six new pre-school classes, three for 3-year-olds and three for 4-year-olds. The new locations are Fayette Elementary and Sarah Scott Middle School. The district will offer a class for 3-year-olds and a class for 4-year-olds at Fayette Elementary. At Sarah Scott Middle School, it will offer two 4-year-old classes and a 3-year-old class. Enrollment is on a first-come, first-served basis. "It's really important to get on that right away," Stuckey said. Full day pre-K is $21 per day and is weekdays from 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.; it follows the VCSC calendar. Half-day pre-K is from 8 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. or noon to 2:40 p.m. and follows the VCSC calendar; the cost is $10.50 per day. Many families will qualify for CCDF, or the Child Care and Development Fund for 3-year-olds, or On My Way pre-K vouchers for 4-year-olds to pay their tuition. According to Stuckey, families in Title 1 districts who apply, but do not qualify for CCDF or On My Way pre-K, may qualify for a Title 1 waiver. Children must turn age 3 or 4 by Aug. 1. New student enrollment also opens April 1 for students in kindergarten through grade 12. "We really are looking for those kindergarten parents to get enrolled by no later than April 30," Stuckey said. That will ensure that as the schools plan their parent visits and send out communication, parents of new kindergarten student will receive those communications.
