Announcing Open Pre-K Registration For New Lebanon

April 19, 2013 By eastwickpress

The proposed 2013-2014 school budget includes funding for a district-wide Pre-Kindergarten (Pre-K) program for resident children who reach the age of four on or before December 1, 2013.  For 2013-2014, the Pre-K program will expand from a two and a half hour program to a full school day program. Transportation by the NLCS District is available when a Pre-K child is at least four years old. The program is located at the Walter B. Howard Elementary School, and children will follow the school arrival and dismissal times, approximately 8:20 am to 3:15 pm, as well as the school calendar for attendance.
The program is provided by Questar III and the New Lebanon Central School District in collaboration with Capital District Beginnings.  This comprehensive and enriched program utilizes the NYS Pre-K Foundation for the Common Core and the Creative Curriculum to focus on child-centered activities to develop strong foundational skills in early literacy and numeracy, social skills, and kindergarten readiness skills.
Families of eligible children are asked to register their child by calling the Walter B. Howard office for a registration packet at 794-8554 x3002.  Phone and in-person registration packet requests are being accepted through the month of April and packets will be mailed on May 1. The completed packet must be returned to the district by May 20 for consideration in the program. Families must provide a copy of documentation to show proof of residency, a birth or baptismal certificate and, if applicable, custody/guardian papers prior to final enrollment in the program.
Once the packet is received, a letter of receipt will follow with more information regarding registration, screening, parent/guardian orientation, etc.
Registration will remain open after May 20, 2013. A waiting list may occur if more eligible four year old students apply than there is space.  If the maximum enrollment number is not met, the District will pursue eligible three year-olds who will be integrated with the four year old program. Children eligible for kindergarten are not eligible for Pre-K.
If your child meets the eligibility requirements stated above and you would like an enrollment packet mailed to you, please contact Lisa Kreutziger at 794-8554×3002.
