Letter of intent-pre K

Dear Jamesville-DeWitt Parents/Guardians/Caregivers:

The Jamesville-DeWitt Central School District offers a full day Pre-Kindergarten program for four-year-old children residing in the district. There is no cost to attend this program. Costs associated with the program will be covered by funds allocated to the district via New York State Preschool funding.

To be eligible for the program, a child must have a date of birth between 12/2/2020 and 12/1/2021, be a resident of J-D, and have all required immunizations. The district is anticipating one pre-K classroom at Jamesville Elementary School, one classroom at Moses DeWitt Elementary School, two classrooms at Tecumseh Elementary School, and additional classrooms through partnerships with the Rothschild Early Childhood Center (RECC) and Little Lukes Preschool and Childcare Center. Each classroom will have a maximum of 18 students. 

This is a full day program and children selected to participate must attend the program five days per week. Each pre-K class will be staffed by one certified teacher and one teaching assistant. Transportation on the regular elementary bus runs will be provided.  

Applications for students will be organized by building attendance areas. For instance, students living in the Jamesville attendance area will be put in the lottery for seats in the pre-k classroom at Jamesville Elementary, students living in the Moses DeWitt attendance area will be put in the lottery for seats in the pre-k classroom at Moses DeWitt Elementary, and students living in the Tecumseh attendance area will be put in the lottery for seats in the pre-k classrooms at Tecumseh Elementary.  In the event that more applications are received than can be accommodated in a particular school, the district will conduct a 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.

Children will be randomly selected for assignment to a pre-K classroom through a computerized lottery system. Parents/guardians/caregivers will be mailed a registration packet beginning on February 10. For more specific information, please visit our website at www.jamesvilledewitt.org, or you may call the District Office at 315-445-8300.

If you are interested in having your child participate in the Pre-Kindergarten program for the 2025-26 school year, please complete and return the form below NO LATER THAN 4:00 P.M. ON FRIDAY, JANUARY 31, 2025.
