All parents who wish to apply for the Allen ISD Pre-K program must complete the Pre-K Spring 2014 Income Summary, even if your child may qualify for Pre-K on the basis of other criteria, such as language, military, or foster status. Applications without income information are considered incomplete and will not be accepted.

In compliance with AISD financial reporting and accountability guidelines, applications will be randomly selected for an internal audit. If selected as part of this audit, parents will be asked to submit income verification documents, such as a pay stub, unemployment documentation, letter from employer, or TANF/Food Stamps approval letter. If parents are unable to produce documents to support income indicated on the Income Summary form, the applicant will not be eligible to attend Pre-K.

Families who pre-qualify based on income will receive a second Income Verification form in July 2014 to verify that the family’s income level still falls within the qualifying range. The second form must be completed and returned to the Early Childhood and Language Support Center, within two weeks of receipt.

Please keep in mind that students who are pre-qualified by income for the Pre-K program are not guaranteed participation in program. Families who do not return the second income verification by August 15, 2014 or who no longer meet current income eligibility requirements will not be eligible to attend the Pre-K program, even if they originally pre-qualified for the program.

If a family’s income does not fall within the income guidelines, they will not receive a second Income Verification form in August and will not be required to submit further income verification.

Incomplete applications or income verification forms will not be processed. It is the parents’ responsibility to notify the Early Childhood and Language Support Center at (972) 727-0506 with any changes in address.

Parents may request morning or afternoon class placement, however, applications will be processed, on a first come, first serve basis.
