⭐️4️⃣ If you know somebody who turns four years old this year, we'd love to welcome them into ! Please tag a friend and spread the word ... because lottery applications for the Glens Falls Universal Pre-Kindergarten program are due this Friday, April 17th.
Our vibrant UPK program is a free, full-day, full-year program for four-year olds, focused on teaching the fundamentals of literacy and beginning math—all in a creative and stimulating environment, and taught by highly-qualified and caring educators.
Entry into September's UPK class is determined by lottery each spring. A completed application packet should be submitted to the District Office (15 Quade Street) by THIS FRIDAY, April 17, 2026. Our new UPK students need to be district residents who turn four years old by December 1, 2026 in order to start the program on the first day of school in September.
Everything you need to know about the Universal Pre-K application process -- along with some pictures of UPK learning in action -- can be found on the district website HERE: https://www.gfsd.org/academics/universal-pre-kindergarten/
We welcome new families into this educational journey, and look forward to partnering with parents to help our children succeed!
