Dear Families,
We are excited to share information with you regarding the Sanford Public School Pre-Kindergarten (Pre-K) programs for the 2022-2023 school year. In September, we expect to continue our collaboration with Head Start, expand our program at SRTC to full-day and add one new full-day program at Carl J. Lamb School, Margaret Chase Smith School and Sanford Pride Elementary School.
Sanford and Springvale families with children 4 years old on or before October 15, 2022 and not of kindergarten age are eligible. Children who are 5 years old by October 15th can enroll in kindergarten by calling one of our elementary schools.
The pre-k program is free and will include free breakfast, lunch and transportation. We anticipate 96 Pre-K slots will be available for the 2022-2023 school year. To provide equal opportunity for families to enroll their children, students will be chosen using a lottery system.
Here is the link to the form that you will need to complete in order to be considered for admittance to our Pre-K program: https://forms.gle/A3FYiBhqzC7y... or scan the QR code below to access the registration form. The lottery registration will close at the end of the day on Sunday, April 3, 2022.
If you have any questions about how to fill out the form, please contact our central office at 324-2810. Our goal is to make program notifications the week of April 25th. All students that are placed in a district Pre-K program will need to complete registration prior to Pre-K screening. Once all openings have been filled by lottery, the remaining names will be drawn to create a waiting list, should space become available.
If you know of any families who may have an eligible student, please feel free to share this information. If you have any questions, please contact us at the Sanford School Department’s Central Office at 324-2810.
Sincerely,
Sanford Administration
