At Yellowstone Schools, we're dedicated to providing a seamless and supportive admissions process for families interested in joining our free Pre-K program. From submitting your application to enrolling your child on their first day of school, our team is here to guide you every step of the way. In this blog post, we'll walk you through the entire admissions process, ensuring that you feel informed and prepared as you embark on this exciting journey with us.

1) Submit Your Online Application:

The first step in the admissions process is to submit your application online at yellowstoneschools.org/admission. Our user-friendly online portal allows you to easily provide all the necessary information about your child and your family.

2) Application Review:

Once we receive your application, our dedicated staff will review it for completeness. If any information is missing or incomplete, we'll reach out to you promptly to ensure that your application is ready for the next steps.

3) Schedule Your Pre-K Playtest:

Once your application is complete, our staff will invite you to schedule a Pre-K playtest using our convenient online scheduling tool. This playtest provides valuable insights into your child's readiness for our Pre-K program and gives you the opportunity to experience our school environment firsthand.


4) Admissions Committee Review:

Following your child's playtest, our admissions committee will carefully review all materials submitted, including your application and playtest observations. Our goal is to ensure that Yellowstone Schools is the right fit for your child and your family. You can expect to receive a decision from our committee within 2-3 weeks.


5) Admission Offer:

If our admissions committee extends an offer of admission to your child, our staff will inform you promptly. You'll have two weeks to either accept or decline the offer, giving you time to carefully consider your decision and ask any questions you may have.


6) Enrollment Process:

Once you accept an offer of admission, our staff will walk you through the enrollment process. We'll gather all the necessary documents and information to ensure that we're prepared to welcome your child on their first day of school. Our goal is to make this process as smooth and stress-free as possible for you and your family.

7) Orientation:

If your child is joining our program at the start of the year, parents/caregivers will be invited to join us for our annual parent/caregiver orientation. This orientation provides valuable information about our school community, policies, and procedures. Families joining us later in the year will be invited to a 1:1 orientation with a member of our school's leadership team, ensuring that you feel informed and supported as you transition to Yellowstone Schools.

At Yellowstone Schools, we're committed to providing a welcoming and supportive admissions process for every family. From submitting your application to enrolling your child, we're here to support you every step of the way. If you have any questions about the admissions process or our Pre-K program, please don't hesitate to reach out. We look forward to welcoming you to the Yellowstone Schools family!
