The Goshen Central School District will once again partner with On My Way to offer 54 seats for the 2024-25 Universal Pre-Kindergarten Program (UPK). Eligible students will be selected via lottery.
UPK students will attend Scotchtown Avenue Elementary School for a full-day program, Monday through Friday, from 8:30 a.m.-2 p.m. (time subject to change). There is no cost to families. Parents are responsible for transportation.
To be eligible:
- Your child must turn age four (4) on or before December 1st of the upcoming school year.
- Families must be residents of the Goshen Central School District.
- Your child can not be eligible for Kindergarten entry as of September of the upcoming school year.
- On My Way offers before- and after-school care services for UPK families who need to drop off their child prior to the UPK start time and pick up after the UPK end time. This extended care is held at Scotchtown Avenue Elementary School, contracted directly with On My Way, and the financial responsibility of the parent/guardian.
If you would like to enter your child into the UPK lottery, you must complete a pre-registration form by 3 p.m. Feb. 16th. Paper versions are available at the Main Street Administration Building, 227 Main Street, in the front entrance vestibule. There will be a drop box for completed paper forms.
Electronic versions of the pre-registration form are available online.
