Dear Parent(s):

In order to be as fair as possible with the selection of students for the Birmingham City Schools Pre-Kindergarten (Pre-K) classes, a random selection system is used. Parents will be required to complete and submit a random selection application. This application will be placed in a container for drawings that will be held April 1-2, 2014 at each school that has an Office of School Readiness (OSR) Pre-K program. Sixteen random selection applications will be drawn for each class. The remaining applications (up to 30) will be drawn and the children will be placed on a waiting list. The enrollment process is scheduled for March 12-14, 2014. To be eligible for the random selection drawing, applications must be in by 12:00 noon on March 14, 2014.

The random selection drawing for Phillips Academy will be held Wednesday, April 2, 2014 at 6:00 p. m. Parents are welcome to attend the drawings.

Please complete the random selection application below and return it to your child’s zoned school. Only one application is required for twins or triplets. Parents that complete multiple applications will be disqualified.

Thank you for your support and cooperation.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Arlene Bray Williams Pre-Kindergarten Coordinator
