All Public School Districts and ESUs must complete and submit the Rule 11: Prekindergarten Program Report by October 15, 2026. The Prekindergarten Program Report can be found in the New NDE Portal.

• Public Districts and Educational Service Units (ESUs) not operating a prekindergarten program must still complete the report so that the NDE has a current status of every district and ESU that does not provide prekindergarten services in their local community.
• All prekindergarten programs operated by Public Districts and ESUs are required to comply with Rule 11. Rule 11 applies to those programs serving children younger than kindergarten entrance age, including Sixpence, migrant and home visitation programs.
• Only District Admin roles are able to approve and submit the PreK report to NDE. All other PreK Report users can enter information into the report, but only the Superintendents and ESU Admins can approve at the LEA level.

Access to the Prekindergarten Report is automatically added to the District Admin-Public, District Admin-ESU, Proxy-Public and Proxy-ESU new portal roles. To make a new request for access, once logged into your new portal account, go to Profile>Requests and request the “Prekindergarten Report-District” role. (District Admins and Proxies can also assign this access through Admin Portal.)
