We are excited to share information with you regarding the Sanford Public School Pre-Kindergarten (Pre-K) programs for the 2025-2026 school year. In September, we expect to continue offering full-day pre-k programming at Carl J. Lamb School, Margaret Chase Smith School, Sanford Pride Elementary School, Sanford-Springvale YMCA and Sanford Regional Technical Center.
Sanford and Springvale families with children 4 years old on or before October 15, 2025 and not of kindergarten age are eligible. Children who are 5 years old by October 15th, 2025 and not enrolled in Sanford’s pre-k program 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 112 Pre-K slots will be available for the 2025-2026 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://rb.gy/hfjwl7. The lottery registration will close at the end of the day on Friday, March 15, 2025.
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 1st. 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.
The President has officially proclaimed February as Career and Technical Education (CTE) Month! SRTC kicked off our celebration of CTE month with a "Proud to be CTE" red, white & blue themed day.

We would like to congratulate our very own Deanna Watson (Massabesic) on winning the State-wide competition to "Brand" the Maine SkillsUSA Leadership Conference this March in Bangor. Her winning designs can be seen in the graphic. The contest description is here:
SkillsUSA Maine serves students in CTE programs in Maine by developing the
personal, workplace, and technical skills grounded in academics that are needed for
career success within the skilled trades. Each year, student members are invited to
create a cohesive design package that reflects the theme, the state, and the organization. The winning design is selected by the board of directors. Designs are used for conference t-shirts and pins, for production during opening and closing sessions, and to represent the state association at local and state events during the year.
Congratulations Deanna!! #SRTCPride #SRTC #MaineCTE
