2026-27 UPK & Kindergarten Registration are OPEN!  Online Registration Form  

UPK Registration for the 2026-27: We invite any child who will turn four years old on or before December 1, 2026 to register for UPK. The Fulton City School District will offer full day classrooms in our elementary buildings and the half day (AM) option may be offered off site or in an elementary building for the 2026-27 school year. 

**The number of available seats for the full day classrooms are dependent on the allocation the District receives from NYS. In the event that more registrations are received than can be accommodated, the district will conduct an initial selection process via an open lottery in which children will be selected at random. Those children whose families have completed the registration process by March 6, 2026 will be part of the initial selection process.
