Universal Pre-K 2021-2022 Applications Available
The District is pleased to offer the Universal Pre-Kindergarten (UPK) Program for students and will continue to operate the program in the 2021-2022 school year, pending New York State funding. UPK provides an opportunity for four-year-old children, at no cost to their families, to be involved in developmentally appropriate educational classes that, following the regular school calendar, meet Monday through Friday during the school year. Since its implementation, the District has provided a half-day program. As of 2020, the District secured funding to expand its offering to include a full-day option as well.
Children who are residents of the District and who are four (4) years of age on or before December 1, 2021, are eligible to apply. Applications are available at the Instructional Services Office at Robert Morris, (80 Union Street) Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and noon and 1 and 3 p.m. They also can be downloaded from the District’s website (www.bataviacsd.org) by using the pull-down menu at the top of the page labeled “Menu,” and then clicking on the link at the top of the page for “Documents”, then scrolling down to the link labeled “21 Registration”. The applications should be returned by May 1, 2021.
If you have questions about the UPK program, please call the Curriculum and Instruction Office at 585-343-2480 x 1003.
