Information about the April 15-18 Registration Fair for Prekindergarten and Kindergarten for
the 2019-2020 school year will be available at the School Readiness Fair that will be held at Prince Street Elementary on Saturday, March 30. Parents and guardians of children from birth
to age 6 should register to attend the fair, which will take place from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. March 30.
So that we鈥檒l know how many people to plan for on that day, please RSVP now to

At the School Readiness Fair, parents and guardians will be able to pick up a list of the
documents they will need to bring to registration. It will be important to be prepared with the
right paperwork for the Registration Fair because this year, for the first time, Wicomico County Public Schools will be processing applications on the spot for Prekindergarten 3 Year Old and Prekindergarten 4 Year Old to determine eligibility and inform the parent if the child will have a guaranteed spot in a Prekindergarten classroom in the fall. Wicomico Schools is pleased to be able to determine Prekindergarten admission this early in the year, to better serve children, parents and guardians, and schools.
