Episode 517: Early Learning in CCISD Apr 19, 2023

Show notes

Research shows that providing a high-quality education for children before they turn five years old yields great medium- and long-term benefits for students.

In Clear Creek ISD early childhood education develops a lifelong love of learning and sets the foundation for the necessary cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development essential for future success. CCISD provides early learning opportunities for children who are four years old and as early as three years old for children with special needs through the Early Childhood Special Education Program.

These opportunities include:

FREE PRE-KINDERGARTEN (PRE-K) PROGRAM: The Free Pre-K Program is an early learning program to prepare children for kindergarten who are identified as at risk. Pre-kindergarten provides learning to children who are four years old on or before September 1st. See below to find out how to qualify for the Free Pre-K Program.
TUITION-BASED PRE-K: Tuition-based pre-kindergarten is an optional program for children whose parents want them to attend pre-kindergarten in Clear Creek ISD to prepare them for kindergarten. This program is offered based on space availability. Click here for the tuition-based pre-k interest form.
EARLY CHILDHOOD SPECIAL EDUCATION: The Early Childhood Special Education program meets the needs of students who are identified as needing special education services. The ECSE provides services to children beginning on their third birthday.

Not all elementary campuses offer a Pre-K program. Where your child attends Pre-K is based on your zoned elementary campus.

Click here to find your neighborhood elementary school. You must live within the district boundaries to attend CCISD schools or qualify under a residency affidavit or the McKinney-Vento Homeless Education Assistance Improvements Act of 2001.

Once you find your zoned elementary campus, you can find the location of your zoned pre-k program.

Episode 516: Dual Language Program Feb 27, 2023

Show notes

Dual language programs in Clear Creek ISD offer students the unique opportunity to learn Spanish or English, depending on the student’s home language. Dual language programs are offered at five elementary schools as well as three intermediate schools to support the learning progression.

While Dual Language Two-Way programs are offered in select schools, enrollment in the program is open to students outside of those attendance boundaries based on space availability. This is an application-only program. For the program to be effective, a class is balanced with both English and Spanish speakers.

English-speaking students may enter the Dual Language Program in either kindergarten or another grade level if they meet the entry criteria for that grade level.
