Family Survey - We Want to Hear from YOU!!

Dear Families and Caregivers,

As part of our school improvement work, we are asking families to complete a short survey to share your experiences with our school.

This survey focuses on three important areas that shape your child’s daily experience:
  1. What and how students are learning
  2. How students are supported and feel a sense of belonging
  3. How the school supports attendance and keeps students connected to learning 
Your feedback helps us better understand what is working well and where we can continue to improve. There are no right or wrong answers — we are simply looking for your honest perspective.

The survey is confidential and your voice is an important part of this process. Please take a few minutes to complete the survey by April 7.


Thank you for your time and for your continued partnership in supporting your child’s success!

2026-27 UPK & Kindergarten Registration are OPEN!

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.  
  • A completed registration includes birth certificate and proof of residency with registration information.
  • Families who were part of the initial selection process will be called in order of selection and informed by March 20, 2026:
  • Whether their child has been accepted into a full day classroom, and
  • Which building is available for their child:
                  OR
  • Where their child is on the waiting list for a full day seat, and
  • Which location or building and time(s) is available for a half day seat

2026-27 Kindergarten Registration: We invite any child who will turn five years old on or before December 1, 2026 to register for Kindergarten. 
  • A completed registration includes birth certificate and proof of residency with registration information.
  • Current UPK students will fill out a contact form in order to register for Kindergarten. UPK classroom teachers will collect the form during the month of March.
