Parents Registering for the 2020-21 Pre-K Lottery

In light of the Effingham County Board of Education closing of schools and the “Shelter in Place” order from Governor Kemp, Pre-K Registration and the lottery drawing have been postponed but will still take place. This will not impact the results of the lottery process.  We will begin contacting parents who have submitted applications on or after April 14th.  With over 600 applications to review, please be patient as you wait for someone to contact you.

You can make the review process more efficient by following these steps:

• If you have not already submitted your application, please do so as soon as possible. You should have received a confirmation email stating that your application was submitted. View the instructions on our website to get your application started.
  
  
• We are working on procedures that will allow you to digitally provide your documents in a safe and secure manner. If you have the resources, please try to digitize your required documents (by scanning or taking clear photos) while we work to provide a secure way for you to send your documents to us.

Thank you for your continued patience and understanding while we strive to adapt to these unprecedented conditions.

Emancipation Diploma Bill Process
On Monday, March 30, 2015 Governor Nathan Deal signed the Emancipation Diploma Bill (HB 91) into law. This law means that students who completed school at an Effingham County School System high school and have previously met all graduation requirements with the exception of passing the Georgia High School Graduation Tests (GHSGT) or the Basic Skills Tests can petition to be granted a diploma.

Petitioners should complete an application available on the district website (click here) or in person at the Effingham County Board of Education office at 405 N. Ash St., Springfield GA. There is no deadline for submission of a petition, so applications are being continuously accepted and reviewed. Petitioners should allow three to four weeks for completion of the review process.

Further questions may be directed to Mrs. Wendy Porter at 912-754-5508.
