PreK is a separate program with its own set of admission criteria and will not be fully addressed by lottery guidelines. A current year PreK waiting list will be maintained in the school’s main office through September 30th of each year. In October, interest forms for the next school year will be accepted.

Prek Application

PreK applications for HHA must be completed through Infinite Campus Online Registration (OLR) system, with following links:

  • New City Schools Parents: Online Registration Kiosk

  • Existing City Schools Parents: Log into Parent Portal and navigate to: More > Online Registration > New Registration SY2526. If you are a parent of an existing Baltimore City Schools student, you will need your Parent Portal login to apply for PreK.  If you do not have that, please contact HHA at 410-396-9146 or agomera@hha47.org.

There is required supporting documentation that must be uploaded in the OLR system to complete your application (Proof of Student Identity & Age, Proof of Parent/Guardian Identity, Proof of Address, Mandatory Proof of Income, Immunization Record).  Please review the City Schools website for the Priority System for PreK, Who is Considered Low Income, and Documentation Needed to Enroll. In addition to the City’s Priority System for PreK, HHA prioritizes in-zone families due to overcrowding.  If you live outside of the HHA zone, we encourage you to apply to other PreK programs in City Schools through the SEMS system.

The application window closes on April 16th.  All applications must be submitted through OLR by then with ALL supporting documentation to be considered.  Pre-k enrollment is not first-come-first-serve, nor is it guaranteed.  We will follow the City Schools Priority System with an additional preference for in-zone families.  All applications will be reviewed after the April 16 deadline.

Families will receive placement offers on May 16th, and will have until May 23rd and accept or decline the placement. If you have questions, please call 410-396-9146.  Thank you.
