Preschool Registration

Howell Township Public Schools offers free, full-day preschool for 3-and-4-year-old children. In order to attend preschool, a child must be a Howell resident and three or four years of age on or before October 1 to be eligible to enter the preschool program for the current school year.

Children currently attending a preschool program in Howell Township Public Schools during the current school year and will attend Pre-K 4 in the subsequent school year do not need to register for Pre-K 4 as you are already enrolled in our preschool program.

Preschool Registration Process

Registration will consist of five steps. You must complete steps 1-4, including the online pre-registration, and locate and complete all required documents prior to attending your in-person appointment (step 5), or the registrar will not be able to assist you at that time.

STEP 1:

Use the district’s MySchool Locator to determine the school the student will attend based on the home address. District reorganization, budgetary fluctuations, class size considerations or a student’s needs, could impact your child’s school of attendance. Note the school name and continue with Step 2.

STEP 2:

Complete the appropriate online pre-registration form based on the year of attendance. The last screen will require you to schedule an in-person registration session with the central registration office. During this in-person session, the Registrar will review the required documents and proofs of residency.

IMPORTANT: Write down the username and password when creating your parent/guardian account. Please ensure you select the correct pre-registration link based on the applicable school year. Submissions made for the incorrect school year cannot be transferred and will be removed, requiring a new pre-registration to be completed using the correct link.

Select the correct link below based on the applicable school year.

- Preregistering to attend during the current school year (2025-2026)
  - Click link for the 2025-2026 Online Pre-Registration form.
- Preregistering to attend during the next school year (2026-2027)
  - Click link for the 2026-2027 Online Pre-Registration form.

STEP 3:

Download, print and complete the Residency Affidavits and Health Requirement Forms Packet and bring the completed packet with you to your scheduled in-person registration session. If you do not have access to a printer, copies of the Residency Affidavits and Health Requirement Forms Packet can be picked up at the central registration office.
