Kindergarten Registration
Student registration for kindergarten is now open for the 2023-2024 school year.
Each year, children must be 5 years old on or before Dec. 1 to attend kindergarten in the fall.
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.
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.
PRE-KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATION
Student registration for pre-kindergarten (UPK 3 and UPK 4) is now open for the 2023-2024 school year.
For the UPK 3 and UPK 4 programs, children must be 3 or 4 years old on or before Dec. 1 and reside in the Middleburgh School District to be eligible. The program does not require income eligibility, and registration is on a first-come, first-served basis once the registration packet has been completed.
