Staff member announces dual language kindergarten lottery results for Patchogue‑Medford schools

A staff member for the Patchogue‑Medford Union Free School District announced the results of the district’s dual language kindergarten lottery and said selected applicants and waitlists for Bay Elementary, Medford Elementary and Eagle Elementary were drawn on the recording.

The lottery is for the dual language kindergarten program for the 2627 school year, the staff member said, and was required because the number of applicants exceeded the seats allocated for each zone. "We appreciate your interest in the program and your support of bilingual education in our dual language program," the staff member said.

During the session the speaker read the identifiers for admitted applicants and the order of the waitlists for each school. The staff member completed the sequences for Bay Elementary, Medford Elementary (including a separate waitlist reading) and Eagle Elementary and then closed the lottery portion. "Both the recording and the list of the selected students will be posted to the district website," the staff member said.

The speaker directed questions to the E and L office, advising families to contact that office for follow-up; contact details were not provided in the recording. The district recording and the posted list are the official notices of admission and waitlist order, the staff member said.

Parents and guardians should check the Patchogue‑Medford Union Free School District website for the posted recording and list and contact the E and L office with any questions.
