The Churchville-Chili Central School District will begin accepting applications for the Universal Prekindergarten (UPK) lottery for the fall of 2025 on November 11, 2024. The program will support approximately 90 children in the school district who will be four years old by December 1, 2025. This UPK opportunity is available at no cost to families who reside within the Churchville-Chili District during the 2025-26 school year.
There will be a total of five full-day UPK classrooms located within the district’s elementary schools. The program will run five days a week and will follow the Churchville-Chili School calendar. Selection for the program is based upon a random lottery drawing, and placement cannot be guaranteed 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 by 5:30 p.m. on January 10, 2025. This application can be found online at http://www.cccsd.org/universal-prek and, once completed, will enter the child into the lottery drawing to be held on February 5, 2025, 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 will be available to view on the district YouTube Channel.
All applicants will be notified through email by February 10, 2025, with their building placement or position on the waitlist. Families selected during this process will receive additional information to complete the registration process and confirm participation.
For any UPK questions or assistance, please contact the Office of Instruction at 585-293-1800 extension 2310.
Completing the lottery application does not guarantee acceptance into this program. Parents on the waitlist will be notified should a space become available.
