Pre-K Registration and Lottery

May 26, 2009

Lewiston's Pre-K program has been expanded to include classrooms at Farwell, Geiger, Longley, and Montello elementary schools, each of which is split into two half-day sessions of 14 children. Due to the limited number of slots, Lewiston Public Schools is unable to accommodate all of the children whose parents have expressed interest in the program.

In order to determine which students will be admitted to the program, a Pre-K lottery will be held on Wednesday, June 10 at the Dingley Building. Parents who wish to register for the lottery or who have any questions should call (207)795-4105 or email Pat Kordalski at pkordalski@lewistonpublicschools.org or Jeanie Giroux at jgiroux@lewistonpublicschools.org.
