For the 2026-2027 school year, there are tentatively 66 half-day program seats and 80 full-day program seats available. The lottery drawing will be held on May 21, 2026, pending NYSED funding approval. Preschool participation has yet to be determined and specific school placement or AM/PM seats for half-day students cannot be guaranteed. The Frank J. Carasiti Elementary School will not be a placement option. The deadline will be May 1, 2026, to submit an application for the UPK lottery.
