Pre-kindergarten registration for the 2013-2014 school year in Bibb County will start next month.

Parents will be able to register Feb. 4-28 at the district’s Welcome Center weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., according to a school system news release.

When signing up their children for pre-K, parents will need to bring proof of residence--such as a current telephone, gas, water, electric or cable bill--the child’s certified birth certificate and the child’s Social Security card.

Students can attend pre-K at their zoned school or at Northwoods Academy.

Children entering the program must be 4 years old by Sept. 1.

Bibb County has 748 pre-K slots available, and children will be selected by a random computer lottery.

Parents will receive a letter in the mail between May 30 and July 15 if their children are selected for the program. Those who are not chosen will be placed on a waiting list.

Parents must attend an orientation session to accept their pre-K spot, and if they don’t, the spot will go to the next child on the list.

For more information, call the Welcome Center at (478) 779-3700 or Northwoods Academy at (478) 779-3204.
