Mechanicville Pre-K Application is now open for the 2025-2026 school year
 
 

Mechanicville Pre-K Application is now open for the 2025-2026 school year! Mechanicville City School District will offer (2) Pre-kindergarten classrooms at Mechanicville Elementary School in the 2025-26 school year and (1) Pre-kindergarten classroom at the Mechanicville Area Community Center. A child must be 4 by December 1 of the following school year to qualify for a Pre-K program. 

Please note that Pre-K registration is a two part process to be completed when funding is awarded to Mechanicville City School District. We will be using a lottery system to determine which families receive a slot for the Pre-k 4 program.  If multiple submissions are received for the same student, THE LAST SUBMISSION will be identified as final and official for purposes of the lottery process.

Step 1: Apply for the Pre-K lottery which will be held Friday May 30, 2025. The lottery applications will close on May 27, 2025 at 5:00pm. 

Once you have completed an application via google forms, your lottery application is complete. The district will send an official notification by email to the e-mail addresses provided on the lottery application. You will receive one of two letters: an acceptance letter or a wait list letter.

Step 2: Accept an awarded seat and complete the registration packet in full 

If you are awarded a seat and receive an acceptance letter, you must then register your child to officially accept the seat you have been offered. 

***Completing this this survey does not guarantee a spot in a Pre-k classroom.***
