The Corinth Central School District is scheduled to receive funding for 5 Universal Pre-K placements in the 2010-2011 school year. This will not be confirmed until New York State has an official budget in place. However, at this time we would like to begin accepting application for the Universal Pre-K program so that we are ready when the budget is passed. All children who are 4 years of age on or before December 1, 2010 and who are legal residents of Corinth are eligible to attend at no cost to parents. This program will meet for 180 school days. It is rich in literacy, social interaction, school readiness, motor skills and early intervention for those children in need.

If there are more applications than placements, a lottery system will be used to select those children who will participate in the program this year. Funding for additional placements is expected in future years.

Research shows that students who get off to a poor start in school, especially in reading, rarely catch up and are at risk for not meeting New York State benchmarks and graduation requirements. Quality pre-kindergarten programs will help to ensure that these children entering public school the following year will be prepared to be able to learn and to achieve success throughout their school career.

If you would like an application, please request one from the Corinth Elementary School by calling 654-2960 or you can stop by to pick one up. Applications must be received in the Elementary office by August 13, 2010. Parents will be notified if their child has been selected for this program by August 20, 2010 or as soon as we are informed that the funding exists in the budget.

District Student Registration
Corinth uses a Central Registration process.  Families wishing to enroll in our district will need to complete the following steps: 
1) Parents will obtain registration packet from the respective main offices where their child/children will attend. You can pick up a registration packet in ANY main office at the elementary school, middle school and high school.  If you would like one mailed to you, please call to request one at 654-9005 X 3400.  Parents may also download the packet online at http://www.corinthcsd.com/data . 
2) Parents complete the packet as soon as possible making sure there are at least 2 proofs of residency. When the packet is complete, parents are asked to call Amie Cole, District Registrar at 654-9005 X3400 to make arrangements to review the completed packet together.
3) After meeting with the Registrar, parents will be contacted by the school building where the child will attend. Parents and students at secondary levels will be contacted by the appropriate school's guidance secretary to schedule an appointment with a counselor. At the MS/HS level, the guidance team will be setting up new student meetings to occur during late August. When new families meet with their guidance counselor and/or principal, it is at this time that the student's teacher is assigned and a schedule is created.
4) The Transportation Department will notify all parents of busing schedules.

Questions & Concerns
With the start of summer and the district-wide clerical reorganization, we would like to remind parents, guardians and students to call ahead for specific items and/or information.  Not all offices are covered for the full time each day and we want to be sure your needs are addressed.
Please make sure to call ahead before coming in to request something from any of our offices including the guidance office and the student services department.  You can check with any of the main offices or call guidance/student services at 654-9005 x3432 for more information or to schedule a time to meet or make a request.  All requests will be handled in a timely fashion.  Walk-in requests are discouraged and  will not be handled immediately, but will be placed in line according to submission.  Your understanding is appreciated.
