Reading Hilltop Preschool Lottery
2018-2019 Hilltop Preschool Program
Registration Information
To ensure that families have an equal opportunity to enroll in the preschool program, the Reading Community School District will hold a lottery to determine which families have a spot in the 2018- 2019 Hilltop Preschool class. Families may register online for the lottery January 22nd thru January 26th. The lottery registration will open at 8:00 a.m. on January 22nd and close at 3:00 pm on January 26th. If you do not have access to a computer, the Hilltop office will have a kiosk open for your registration into the lottery. Families that have been chosen in the lottery will receive a phone call on Monday, January 29th, stating that they have been randomly chosen for an opening in the preschool program. All families on the waitlist will have been randomly selected during the lottery process. If a family rescinds their request for a preschool opening, a family on the waiting list will be selected and will receive a phone call with an opening offering. This process will continue until all openings are secured. All families participating in the lottery will be notified of their standings after the lottery is completed.
Families who have been selected for Hilltop’s preschool openings will have one week, January 29th thru February 2nd, to complete the registration process in the office with a $50 deposit for ½ day students or $100 for full day students. The registration period will close at 3:00pm on Friday, February 2nd. Families that fail to register within the allotted time will forfeit their spot in the program, and a family from the waiting list will be chosen. When registering, families must provide the following: Proof of residency, Birth Certificate, and a Deposit. If a family does not provide these items during the registration process, they will lose their spot and a family from the waitlist will be selected for the opening.
READING HILLTOP PRESCHOOL PROGRAM
The Reading Community School District has a long history of offering a high quality preschool program at Hilltop Elementary. The preschool curriculum was adopted to serve children with typical development and who are 3 to 5 years old. The goal of the program is to provide students with opportunities to grow socially and academically, while preparing for kindergarten challenges. Boys and girls in preschool will have have opportunities to engage in social play, learn beginning reading skills, and become accustomed to the culture of school life.
Our preschool program consists of 5 full days of instruction, Monday thru Friday. The school day begins at 8:05 and dismisses at 2:35. Parents may choose to enroll their children for ½ days, which begins at 8:05 and dismisses at 11:00. Students currently enrolled may remain in the program without participating in the enrollment lottery, provided they meet age requirements. Transportation is the responsibility of the parent/guardian. A sibling of a child who is currently enrolled in the program are given priority during the registration process.
Children must be four years old on or before Sept 30th during the year in which they wish to enroll. The program accepts children who are three years old on or before Sept 30th during the year in which they wish to enroll; however, priority is given to children who are four years old in the lottery process. Children must be toilet-trained before entering preschool. Families who wish to enroll in the preschool program must reside in the Reading Community School District by the end of the application deadline.
