2025-2026 Ritenour School for Early Childhood Education Lottery Registration
The Ritenour School for Early Childhood Education (RSECE) will be holding its enrollment lottery Feb. 24-March 21, 2025 for the 2025-2026 school year.
Families who live in the Ritenour School District and have a pre-kindergarten child who turns 4 by July 31 are eligible to fill out an online form on the RSECE website as part of the enrollment lottery. The online form will not be available prior to Feb. 24. Ritenour employees who live in the district also will need to participate in the lottery if they have children eligible for the program.
Families who have preschoolers in a Special School District classroom at RSECE do not need to apply for the lottery.
There is no tuition for the preschool program. Any resident parent who fills out the lottery form anytime Feb. 24 through March 21 has an equal chance in the lottery. Please note that the district is closed March 17-21 for spring break.
The RSECE is a tuition-free program for potty-trained 4 and pre-k 5-year-olds who live in the Ritenour School District and are selected by a lottery system.
Lottery results will be announced, and families will be notified on April 4 that they can enroll for an available spot or if they are on a waiting list. Families whose lottery numbers secured them a spot will need to go through the online enrollment process. See the Ritenour enrollment page for information required to show residency and enrollment requirements.
Families on a waiting list will be called in the order of their lottery number as spots become available.
