Our UPK program will be held five days per week. The UPK program follows the school district's calendar and adheres to the district's Board of Education student attendance policy.

The morning session will be held from 9 to 11:15 am and the afternoon session will be held from 1 to 3:30 pm. Because of NYS Department of Transportation requirements the district will not be able to provide transportation for a child enrolled in the UPK program until the child is 4 years of age. All parents will be allowed to transport their own child if they choose. Placement in the UPK (AM/PM) class will be determined by the transportation department.

If you would like to enroll your child in either the Kendall UPK program or the Head Start UPK program, we will be accepting applications at the Kendall Elementary School Pupil Personnel Office beginning March 12th through April 27th from 9 am to Noon and 1:30 to 3:30 pm.

Kindergarten Screening

Kindergarten screening appointments will be arranged at the time of registration.

All kindergarten students will be given a screening test called the Dial-3. The test will give the school information about developmental skills such as how the child uses his or her body (motor skills), knowledge of basic concepts like counting and colors (conceptual skills), and language. The child's behavior during screening will also be noted, i.e. Did he or she listen to directions? Was he or she fidgeting?

Important information about the child's self-help and social skills will be gathered using a parent questionnaire that will be completed on screening day.

The skills described above have proven important in predicting a child's success in the classroom. Our staff looks forward to meeting parents and their children at this screening.
