Students are chosen to attend Bryan County Pre-K by a lottery drawing held each spring.  

Students who live in Bryan County must be registered for the Pre-K within their districted area. There is one school with Pre-K in North Bryan - Bryan County Elementary School. There are three schools in Richmond Hill that house Pre-K - Richmond Hill Primary School, McAllister Elementary School, and Frances Meeks Elementary School. South Bryan residents will register under the school for which they are zoned for.  Here is a map for attendance lines and list by neighborhood for South Bryan.

Once the online application has been successfully submitted, a confirmation email will be sent with further details.  If you are having issues with the online form or need a computer to use, each school has a registration station that you may use.  Registration may be completed by using a smartphone as well. Failure to submit complete and correct information or documents will result in the registration being delayed and possibly missing the lottery.

Once the registration portal closes, parents with correctly completed submissions will be USPS mailed a confirmation letter with detailed information regarding the lottery.

If your child's immunizations are not current or were last issued in another state, call to schedule an appointment with your child's health care provider or the Bryan County Health Department. Be sure to call for immunization appointments at least 2-3 weeks in advance to ensure that your child's immunizations are received prior to the registration window.   

All first time Pre-Kindergarten students are required to have a Certificate of Vision, Hearing, Dental, and Nutritional Screening (Form 3300). You may choose to have your child's health care provider conduct this exam, or the exam may also be completed at the Bryan County Health Department. The Health Department charges for this exam. The Health Department will conduct the exams on 3-year-old children. However, many private physicians and dentists will not complete this exam until the child has turned 4 years of age. If you plan to use the Health Department, please go ahead and complete this step now.    

Our Military families that are PCS-ing into the area who have not obtained residency as of the registration window, may register for the Richmond Hill Primary School lottery.  They will need to put their current address in and will upload their PCS orders in lieu of the residency documents.  The arrival date MUST be prior to the first day of school and residency MUST be obtained by the first day of school. All residency documents must be on file at the school to retain the Pre-K seat at RHPS.  The medical forms (form 3300 and form 3231) need to be completed using the actual Georgia medical forms so families will need to wait until they can have a licensed Georgia medical professional complete them.
