For the past few years, the Hauppauge School District has received funding to offer eligible students full-day Universal Pre-Kindergarten (UPK).  This program typically begins in mid-September.

Eligibility for the UPK program is as follows:

• Students must be Hauppauge School District residents

• Children who turn four on or before December 1st of the current year, and are first eligible for Kindergarten in September of the following year, are eligible to enroll in the district's lottery system to participate in UPK.

• Students who are eligible for Kindergarten (those who turn five on or before the current year, December 1st) are not eligible for the Universal Pre-K program, as per state eligibility requirements.

If you have any questions regarding the program, please call Mellissa Krauss Assistant Director for Instructional Services SCOPE 631-360-0800 ext 146.
