Calling all future Cardinals!

• Preschool registration for the 2025-2026 school year opened today! Children that will be ages 3 or 4 before July 31, 2025, and live within within the Crete Public Schools District are eligible to attend. Please complete the online registration to enroll your child. Priority enrollment is given to children who are most at-risk and most in need of early childhood education programs and services. Once children who meet one or more of the enrollment priorities have a secured spot in the early childhood program, enrollment can be open to other children within the community.

Help your student AND their classmates!
