Kindergarten Reception to be Held at Duzine
The Kindergarten Reception will be held on Wednesday, April 3rd, 2024, for parents of those children who will enter Kindergarten in the fall.
While the parents are learning about a child’s transition into school, their children will participate in separate activities including a short bus ride, story time in the library, a building tour and a visit to the playground and a kindergarten classroom.
People whose last names begin with the letters “A” through “L” should attend the reception from 10:30am to 11:30am. Another reception will be held later in the day from 1:30pm to 2:30pm for those people whose last names begin with the letters “M” through Z”.
Please join us for this wonderful experience, and if you have not registered your child, please call Chris or Jennifer at (845) 256-4350.
We are happy to announce that we will be able to offer universal Pre-K for the 2024-2025 school year with the support of community-based organizations. Registration for Pre-K will begin March 4th.
Every child that has completed registration by May 1st, 2024, will be entered into a lottery for class placement. Each class must have 18 students to open. Students who are not placed in a full class during the lottery will be placed on a waiting list in the order in which their number is drawn. Students who register after May 1st, will be placed on a waiting list in the order in which they complete registration.
