Have a Child Entering Pre-K in the Inwood Area?
During construction of the new Inwood Early Learning Academy, the Pre-K program will be temporarily housed at Gerrardstown Elementary School for the 2026–27 school year.
To better serve students and families and help reduce wait times during drop-off and pick-up at this temporary location, transportation hubs will be available for families enrolled in Pre-K at Inwood Early Learning Academy only.
Transportation will be provided from an Inwood-area hub, where students will ride in EPIC vans equipped with Pre-K-approved safety seats to and from Inwood Early Learning Academy each day. This option is intended to help families avoid congested traffic and long lines while also reducing driving distance.
Families interested in transportation should:
Enroll their child in Pre-K, and
Select Inwood Early Learning Academy as their first-choice site on the application.
Once enrollment information is received, a Pre-K representative will contact families who select Inwood Early Learning Academy as their first-choice site to discuss transportation needs.
Reminder: Today, May 12, is Election Day. The ballot includes a school bond call with projects focused on growth, capacity, safety, and workforce readiness. Voters are required to present a valid photo ID. Learn more about the 2026 Bond Call.
Summer Enrichment Camps are filling up fast for students currently in 4th or 5th grade! Students can explore STEM challenges, theater adventures, fishing trips, Spanish immersion, and more through hands-on summer fun designed to keep learning exciting all summer long.
