Important Information about Pre-kindergarten Registration & Screening Dates for the 23-24 school year

Pre-kindergarten registration for the 2023-2024 school year is now open, running through Friday, April 21. We are excited to announce that we are planning for four in-district, full-day pre-kindergarten classrooms for the 2023-2024 school year. This change will replace our current program, which includes four half-day classes.

If the number of students who have completed enrollment packets by April 21 exceeds the program capacity in either building, the district will hold a public lottery as mandated by the NYS Universal Pre-Kindergarten Grant.

Children who are registered AFTER the end of open registration will not be included in the lottery. Instead, they will be enrolled in any remaining slots or placed on a waiting list on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Please visit our website for more information and registration requirements.

All pre-kindergarten students will participate in a screening conducted by teachers and nurses. This helps the school to plan the best possible experience for all children. 

In May, each elementary school building will schedule screening appointments directly with parents for one of the following dates:

  • Tuesday, June 6
  • Wednesday, June 7

Specific information regarding screening appointment dates and times will be shared with families from their respective elementary schools

If you have any questions about the registration process, please contact our District Registrar Carol Eckl at registration@rcscsd.org.

If you have specific questions about the pre-kindergarten screening process or the pre-kindergarten program, please contact the building office at the school your child will attend: A. W. Becker (extension 5001) or Pieter B. Coeymans (extension 4001).
