UPK at AA Gates

The Port Byron Central School District currently operates three Universal Pre-Kindergarten (UPK) classes, which enables 45 children to participate in this excellent program aligned with NYS standards and our AA Gates Kindergarten curriculum.  Instruction is offered in all developmentally appropriate kindergarten readiness areas (see the “Kindergarten Readiness Calendar” section of this web site) during half day sessions.  The UPK classroom is housed in our elementary building and is under the supervision of elementary principal Mitchell Toleson.  The classrooms are staffed by NYS certified pre-K educators and teacher aides.  Transportation is provided both to and from school for our UPK students by the school district.

Per regulation, children eligible to participate in this program must by 4 years old by December 1st of the school year they are in UPK but may not yet by 5 years old by this date.  Application is made to the program in March of the preceding school year.  If you are a PBCSD resident, have an eligible child, and do not receive an invitation to apply by April 5th you should contact Charlene Barbagallo at 776-5731 to obtain one.

If we have more than 45 applicants for participation in the UPK program successful applicants are selected by random drawing.   Should you have questions about this exceptional program offering please contact Mitchell Toleson, Elementary Principal, at 776-5728.
