Registration packets for Mars Area Primary Center’s 2021-2022 kindergarten Program will be available for pickup from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Feb. 25 and 26 at the Mars Area School District administration office.

Parents/guardians who pick up a packet on these dates will also receive their kindergarten registration lottery ticket.

The selection of AM or PM kindergarten session is done through a lottery system. Once the maximum class size is reached, the session will be closed and individuals may be placed on a waiting list for their session preference.

On March 1, an Adams Township police officer will pull the starting lottery number, which will be announced and posted on the district’s website.

Mars Area Primary Center will begin accepting completed kindergarten registration packets on Kindergarten Lottery Registration Day, beginning at 9:30 a.m. April 16 at Mars Area Centennial School.
