PreK Parent Orientation will be held Wednesday, May 6th at 5:00 pm in the Elementary School
For children who will turn 4 years old by December 1, 2026
Procedure
Random Lottery Selection (if more than 18 applicants by cutoff date of May 15, 2026)
Completed applications are accepted on a rolling basis until the due date (May 15, 2026).
Parents may request an application packet at any point in the school year, beginning the first day of school.
Applications will not be considered as part of the lottery if they are incomplete by the due date.
If an application is submitted beyond the due date, your child’s name will not be entered into the lottery, and they may instead be placed on the waiting list.
At the end of the day on the due date, one of two things will occur:
If 18 or fewer children have applied, ALL applicants will be registered for the class.
If more than 18 students have applied by the end of the day on the due date, all student applicants' names go into a random drawing and are chosen the following school day, numbers 1-18, as students who can enroll in the program.
Students who are not chosen as 1-18 are identified as waiting list members 19, 20, etc.
If openings occur (students leave the program, etc.) then the children (in number order) on the waiting list are called to see if they are interested in joining the UPK at Forestville. This occurs on a rolling basis, as openings become available throughout the school year.
If applications come in after the May due date and there are no openings, those children are placed on a waiting list in order of receipt of completed applications.
The district works with families on the waiting list to enroll their children at our Community Based Organization (CBO), Lake Shore Family Center, at no cost to the family. This ensures a high-quality instructional program for children prior to their Kindergarten year!
