The Otselic Valley Central School District is now accepting applications for its Pre-Kindergarten program. Only parents who are district residents with an age-eligible child may apply. To be eligible, a child must be 4 years old on or before December 1, 2023 and cannot be 5 years old before that date. Per New York State regulations, selection for Pre-K slots for the 2023-24 school year will be done randomly after all initial registration forms have been received by the deadline. Assuming that NYS funding will be held at the same level for next year as this year, we will only be able to accept a total of 18 students. Registration forms will be numbered and date stamped on the day they are received. The deadline for all Pre-K applications is March 15, 2023. Selection of applicants for the available slots will be determined soon after this date. The initial registration form must be received by Mrs. Bupee, our District Clerk, at the District Office on or before March 15, 2023. After Pre-K enrollment is determined, additional forms will be mailed in early summer. For further information, contact the District Office at 315-653-7218, ext. 4042.
