Levittown Kindergarten Registration Now Open

Sign your children up now for the lottery now through March.

Parents who have a child/children residing in the Levittown School District and which will be four years old on or before Dec. 1, 2017, are invited to apply for admission, on behalf of their child, to the Universal Pre-Kindergarten Program for the 2017-18 school year.

The program is a half-day program, which will be housed at one of the UPK providers beginning in September 2017 for 180 days through June 2018, roughly coinciding with the Levittown School District calendar.

The program has limited space and participants will be chosen during a random lottery selection process. A waiting list will be established to fill any vacancies that may arise.
