WHEN RANKING YOUR CHOICES ON THE APPLICATION, PLEASE CHOOSE A DIFFERENT SCHOOL EVERY TIME OR YOU COULD LOSE YOUR ORDER AND YOUR SEAT. YOU MUST HAVE A DIFFERENT SCHOOL FOR EVERY CHOICE

The application must be filled out completely by a parent or guardian

Students must be a resident of Schenectady City School District, not Schenectady County

If your contact information changes after you submit this application, please call to update or you risk losing your student's spot

Because spots are limited and funding for programs is provided to the district by a grant from NYS, students MUST MAINTAIN A 90% OR BETTER ATTENDANCE RATE.

Due to limited space, residents of the district can enter their child in a lottery to attend the Pre-K program in the attendance zone based upon your home residence. You can look up the school by going to our website at: http://www.schenectady.k12.ny.us/departments/student_registration_/attendance_zones.

Parents can attend the lottery, but it is not required. Results will be mailed and a phone call will be made following the lottery

Paper copies are available if needed at the Registration Office at Mont Pleasant Middle School

Your student's order in the lottery is determined by a random number generator

Being in the lottery does NOT guarantee your student a spot. Waitlists begin as soon as seat capacity is reached for each school

Spaces will be filled based upon the results of a public lottery to be held on Thursday, MAY 12, 2022. Parents do not need to be present and will also be notified of the results by phone and mail.

Applications will be available APRIL 14, 2022

Applications must be mailed/postmarked or received online no later than WEDNESDAY, MAY 11, 2022 in order to be entered into the lottery

If you are submitting a paper copy, it can be dropped off at the Registration Office at Mont Pleasant Middle School or dropped in the drop box outside the Superintendent's Office
