Mars Area Primary Center will begin accepting completed kindergarten registration packets for the 2022-23 school year at the school’s Kindergarten Lottery Registration Day, beginning at 9:30 a.m. Friday at Mars Area Centennial School.

The selection of morning or afternoon kindergarten sessions 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. Morning kindergarten will be open to a maximum of 125 students.

The starting lottery number is 84. Distributed lottery tickets began with No. 1 and a total of 175 tickets were handed out to parents/guardians who attended the school’s packet distribution in February. No additional lottery tickets will be distributed.
