2024-25 pre-kindergarten and kindergarten registration now open

Registration is now open for the district’s 2024-25 pre-kindergarten and kindergarten programs.

Registration for pre-kindergarten

Pre-kindergarten (pre-K) is a full-day program offered at Harry Hoag Elementary School. Children must be four years old on or before December 1 in order to begin pre-K in the 2024-25 school year. They also must be residents of the Fort Plain Central School District.

The district has 36 pre-K spots available for the 2024-25 school year. If interest exceeds 36, the district will conduct a random lottery drawing on the second Thursday in July to determine who will be able to attend. Parents/guardians will be notified in writing of their child’s enrollment status after the day of the lottery.

Transportation to and from school will be provided by school bus for students who are four years old. Children who begin the school year as a three-year-old must be transported by an adult until they turn four and are eligible to ride the bus per New York state law.
