Registration for the 2025-2026 school year for children attending Kindergarten is now open at Apalachin Elementary School and Owego Elementary School. A registration form and health certificate can be obtained at the OA website: New Student Registration Forms, at Apalachin Elementary School, 405 Pennsylvania Ave., Apalachin, or Owego Elementary School, 2 Sheldon Guile Blvd., Owego.
Children who will be five years old on or before 12/1/25 are eligible to enter Kindergarten for the 2025-2026 school year. All registered children will be screened in May or June in speech, language, vision, hearing, fine motor, and gross motor skills. This screening is required by the New York State Department of Education and will help us identify your child's particular needs.
If you are interested in your child being considered for this program, please complete the registration form and required documentation and return it to the building your child will attend. In addition to the registration form, the following is required: a copy of the child’s birth certificate, immunization record (polio, measles, diphtheria, mumps, rubella, varicella, and hepatitis B), two forms of proof of residency, and the health certificate signed by your child’s physician. You may also complete a UPK registration form at Apalachin Elementary School and Owego Elementary School.
Registration before the beginning of school is essential, as it enables the school to estimate the time needed for school readiness screening, classes, and transportation needs. Additionally, it provides an opportunity for school visitation before the opening session in the fall.
If you have questions regarding UPK or K Registration, please get in touch with Dr. Jill Bennedum, Executive Director of Pupil Personnel, at 687-7307 ext. 7030.
