PRE-KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATION

Student registration for pre-kindergarten (UPK 3 and UPK 4) is open for the 2025-26 school year.  Information on registering for the 2026-27 school year will be provided here when it becomes available.

For the 2025-26 UPK 3 and UPK 4 programs, children must be 3 or 4 years old on or before December 1, 2025 and reside in the Middleburgh School District to be eligible. The program does not require income eligibility.   

If there are more eligible applicants than can be served in a given school year, the district will conduct a lottery-based system to determine who attends the program. MCS will determine if a lottery is required by June 1 of each year.

If a lottery is required, students will be selected on a random basis.  New York State UPK regulations prohibit a district from prioritizing eligible students for any reason, including economic background. Each child will be entered into the lottery as an individual student and will be selected at random.  Names will be written on pieces of paper and placed in a hat.  Names will then be drawn one at a time until all seats have been filled,  and once that occurs, names will continue to be drawn and placed on a waitlist.  For students who enroll after the lottery has been conducted, they will be placed on the waiting list in the order in which they enroll. 

If a lottery is not required, spaces will be filled as applications are received.  Once all spaces are filled, a waitlist will be created.

Kindergarten Registration

Middleburgh Elementary School (MES) looks forward to working with you as your child prepares to begin his or her school journey. We recognize that success in kindergarten and throughout the elementary years is based on social, emotional, physical and cognitive development. To be enrolled in the kindergarten program for the upcoming school year, children must turn five on or before Dec. 1.
 
Regardless of a child’s entrance age, developmental ages and abilities vary considerably. With that in mind, each child who is preparing to enter kindergarten must go through a screening process. This gives our school staff insight on your child’s strengths and areas he or she may need support in as he or she transitions to school. Early awareness of these strengths and weaknesses helps us develop the best educational plan for your child.  The screening process will be arranged through the registrar.

To register a student for kindergarten, use the K-12 forms found here.
