Pre-K Registration

Pre-K registration for the 2026-2027 school year


Pre-K registration for the 2026-27 school year began March 2.

Eligible pre-kindergarten students must be residents of the Liberty Central School District and turn 4 years old before Dec. 1, 2026.

There will be four classes at Liberty Elementary School with a total of 72 spots for students. There were still slots available after the March 31, so a lottery will not be held for placements. All remaining slots will be filled on a first-come first served basis.   All slots will be full day.
