District opens UPK applications and adjusts kindergarten registration process
Summary
Administrators said UPK applications are live, the district plans to enroll 38 UPK students in two full‑time classrooms, and kindergarten registration will require all students to register though not all current UPK students will undergo the kindergarten screening.
District administrators told the board that UPK (Universal Pre-K) applications "went live" today and that registration information was posted in local outlets and on the district website; a temporary website link problem was fixed. "Today our UPK applications went live," the administrator said, and staff will maintain hard‑copy applications at the main office for families who need them.
The administrator also said the district plans to enroll 38 UPK students next year in two full‑time classrooms: "We are still planning on enrolling 38 UPK students next year for 2 full time classrooms." Staff clarified that all children must register for kindergarten even if they currently attend UPK, but current pre‑K students who have been with the district for 181 days will not necessarily participate in the full readiness screening used for placement. The district is partnering with Area 2 BOCES and the East Aurora Library for an annual literacy night on March 5 to explain reading instruction changes.
