The Churchville-Chili Central School District is now accepting applications for the Universal Prekindergarten (UPK) lottery for the fall of 2023. The program will support approximately 54 children in the school district who will be four years old by December 1, 2023. This UPK opportunity is available at no cost to families who reside within the Churchville-Chili District during the 2023-24 school year, however, transportation is not provided.
There will be three full-day (8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.) classrooms, one at each of the district’s elementary schools, five days a week following the Churchville-Chili school calendar. Selection for the program is based upon a random lottery drawing. The district cannot guarantee placement at any one school, as there are a limited number of spaces available at each building.
In order to be considered, the district must receive a completed online application, which can be found at www.cccsd.org, by 5:30 p.m. on January 6, 2023. This application enters the child into the lottery drawing to be held on January 18, 2023, at 5:30 p.m. The lottery is random; all applications received, whether the first hour they were available or just before the deadline, will have an equal chance. The live lottery drawing can be viewed on the district YouTube Channel.
All applicants will be notified through email by Monday, January 23, 2023, with their building placement or position on the waitlist. Families selected during this process will receive information in the mail to complete the registration process and confirm participation.
For questions or assistance in completing the form, contact the Office of Instruction at 585-293-1800 extension 2310.
Completing the application does not guarantee acceptance into this program. Parents on the waitlist will be notified should a space become available.
