The Jamesville-DeWitt Central School District has started the UPK registration process for the 2025-26 school year. The free, full day program for four-year-old children residing in the district follows a separate registration process from grades K-12. Families of eligible students must complete and return a letter of intent form no later than 4 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 31.
To be eligible, a child must have a date of birth between 12/2/2020 and 12/1/2021, be a Jamesville-DeWitt resident, and have all required immunizations. This is a full day program and children must attend the program five days per week. Transportation on the regular elementary bus runs will be provided.
The district is anticipating one UPK classroom at Jamesville Elementary School, one classroom at Moses DeWitt Elementary School, two classrooms at Tecumseh Elementary School, and additional classrooms through our partnerships with the Rothschild Early Childhood Center (RECC) and Little Lukes Preschool and Childcare Center. Each classroom will have a maximum of 18 students.
In the event that more applications are received than can be accommodated in a particular school, the district will conduct a computerized lottery in which children will be selected at random. Any student not selected for a seat in their elementary school will be offered a seat at the RECC or Little Lukes until capacity is reached.
Parents/guardians/caregivers who submit a letter of intent will be mailed a registration packet beginning Monday, Feb. 10. For more information, please call the District Office at 315-445-8300.
