Universal Pre-Kindergarten

The Cleveland Hill Union Free School District is pleased to announce the Universal Pre-Kindergarten (UPK) program for the 2009-2010 school year.

The following is a overview of some of the program guidelines:

• UPK is funded by grant from the NYS Department of education.
• If more students apply than the grant funding provides for, a lottery drawing will be used to determine enrollment for September.
• It will be a half day program. Children will attend for 2.5 hours in the morning or afternoon.
• Bus transportation will not be provided.
• Parents must make a commitment to participate in their child’s educational program.

• The child must reside in the Cleveland Hill School District.
• The child must be 4 years old by December 1, 2009.
• The child must meet all medical requirements for school attendance.
• Parents must make a commitment to regular daily attendance (students attending would be expected to abide by the district’s attendance policy/attendance all 5 days).

• Age appropriate learning experiences which focus on developing children's social, emotional, physical and language skills.
• A balance of active and quiet play, individual, large and small group instruction.
• Exposure to language rich, hands on learning.
  
• Active and on-going parent involvement.
