Welcome to the Dobbs Ferry UFSD Pre-K Registration Page
We are excited to begin Pre-K registration for the 2026-2027 school year! Before submitting your application for the lottery drawing, please read the following information carefully to ensure you meet all residency and age requirements.

Consistent attendance is vital for your child’s development. Regular and punctual attendance is required for all students enrolled in the program. If a student is chronically absent without a medical or reasonable explanation, or frequently arrives late or departs early, they may be subject to removal from the program to make space for students on the waiting list.
