What are the immunization requirements?
Your child must be up-to-date with vaccination requirements.
Is there a religious exemption for immunization requirements?
New York State no longer offers a religious exemption for immunizations.
Should my child be potty trained?
While it is not a requirement for children to be potty trained to participate in UPK, if you have not already started to potty train your child, we highly recommend you do so as it will make your child’s transition into UPK much smoother. If your child is not fully potty trained when they start school, the District will work with you to develop a plan that supports your child using the toilet independently.
