Georgia Pre-K Fact Sheet - Spanish

Welcome to the Griffin-Spalding County Pre-Kindergarten program! We look forward to working with your family to prepare your children for kindergarten. The GSCS Pre-K program has 22 classes located in the system’s 11 elementary schools. Each class has a lead teacher and an assistant teacher all of whom are trained to work with the special needs of four-year-olds and their families.

Our Overall Objectives are:

• Health – No child should exit the Pre-K program with an undetected condition that could hinder his/her ability to learn.

• Child Development – Families will know about their child’s development and become involved in their child’s educational experience.

• Kindergarten Readiness – Children exiting the Pre-K program will be prepared for success in kindergarten.

The Pre-K program is optional in Georgia. Therefore, by choosing to place your child in Pre-K, you are agreeing to support the program by:

• Ensuring your child attends school daily, arrives on time and does not leave early.

• Supporting your child’s teacher in your child’s behavior management.

• Reading and signing your child’s agenda each night.

• Attending the twice-yearly parent conferences as well as other conferences that may be needed throughout the year.

• Communicating with the Pre-K teachers about any questions or concerns you may have.

• Becoming an active participant in your child’s education through home and school involvement.

The GSCS Pre-K is a part of the Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning Bright from the Start Pre-K program. Information about Bright from the Start may be accessed through the website...
