On August 2, every elementary school will invite incoming pre-K and kindergarten students to prepare to go to school for the first time at Pre-K and Kinder Camp! The event will offer morning and afternoon sessions and provide students and families with the opportunity to meet teachers and school leaders.

Families with questions about pre-K or kindergarten are encouraged to reach out to their child’s future campus. Families who are unsure which school their child will attend can input their address at www.nisdtx.org/schoolfinder to find their student’s zoned school.

Find morning and afternoon session times, sign-up links and additional information in the table below. If you don't see information for your campus, check back later! This page will be updated as campuses finalize their Pre-K and Kinder Camp times.
