The half-day, tuition-based classes will be held at
three MISD elementary schools.
TUITION-BASED PRE-K STARTING
IN AUGUST 2019
P
arents of 4-year-olds within Mansfield
ISD will soon have more opportunities for
their child’s education. A tuition-based pre-
kindergarten (pre-K) program is coming to
Mansfield ISD for the 2019-20 school year.
Cobb said the half-day classes will follow the
district’s experience-based curriculum and will
offer the same high-caliber staff members.
“Each class will have a capacity of
approximately 18 students, equipped with
a certified teacher and a teacher’s aide,”
Cobb continued. “As students learn through
explorative play, they will also be provided
a foundation for language and social skill
development.”
By creating the program, MISD is staying aligned
with its guiding statements of creating more
educational opportunities for MISD families and
having students reading on level or higher by
the beginning of third grade and remaining on
level or higher as an MISD student.
The fee-based pre-K classes will be housed
at J.L. Boren Elementary School, Roberta
Tipps Elementary School and Annette Perry
Elementary School. The morning session is from
8 a.m. to 11:10 a.m. Afternoon sessions are
12:20 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Meals will be provided
for each session.
“We believe in our curriculum, and we
believe that what we are doing for these ages
is working,” said Kristi Cobb, director of
early literacy. “We’re starting fee-based pre-
kindergarten classes to expose even more
children to our educational programs and fill a
need for those who may not qualify for our free
pre-kindergarten program.”
During the application process, parents and
guardians can choose the location and session
of their choice. No MISD bus transportation will
be provided.
MISD’s tuition-based pre-kindergarten program
will be for children who are 4 years of age on
or before Sept. 1 of the current school year and
who are not eligible for the Preschool Program
for Children with Disabilities (PPCD) or the free
federally-funded pre-kindergarten program.
The tuition-based pre-K application window for
the 2019-20 school year is Jan. 9 through Feb. 8.
