LIVERPOOL SCHOOLS – The Liverpool Central School District is preparing for kindergarten registration for the 2023-2024 school year. All resident students born on or before Dec. 1, 2018, are eligible to register for kindergarten for the 2023-2024 school year.
It is important for families to know that all registration forms must be submitted and approved before a spot will be held for a student.
Information packets
In January, kindergarten information packets will be mailed to families that the district knows have a child eligible to enter kindergarten. Please contact your home school to be placed on its mailing list.
If you don’t know which building would be your “home” school please download the district’s “Street Code Book” at liverpool.k12.ny.us/departments/student-services/school-boundaries. Find your street to determine which of the four K-2 elementary schools your child will attend in September 2023.
The Street Code Book has been updated to reflect the district’s new quadrant system. Four Liverpool CSD schools will house students in kindergarten through second grade: Donlin Drive Elementary (DDE), Elmcrest Elementary (EE), Long Branch Elementary (LBE) and Willow Field Elementary (WFE).
If you have an eligible child, but do not receive an information packet by January 27, contact your home school to request a packet.
Registration date
Registration will be conducted by appointment only at the registration office at 195 Blackberry Road or online. This allows for families to have one-on-one time in the safest way possible, without having to wait in line.
Kindergarten Registration will take place on the following dates for the following assigned home schools:
EE & LBE: Feb. 6 to 10, 2022
DDE & WFE: Feb. 13 to 17, 2022

Required documents can be uploaded using the district’s Document Attachment Form (link can be found on the Registration Page as well).
Children do not need to be present for any part of the registration process.
Registration must be completed by the resident parent or legal guardian. Any in-person registrations will take place at the district office at 195 Blackberry Road.

The district also announced it will once again offer a 4-year-old pre-K program for the 2023-2024 school year.
To be eligible, a child must: Have a birthdate between Dec. 2, 2018 and Dec. 1, 2019 and reside in the Liverpool Central School District
Instruction is consistent with the New York State Pre-Kindergarten Standards, which focuses on a child’s social/ emotional, cognitive and physical development.
The district has a limited number of seats available. Those who submit an interest form online and complete the registration process between Jan. 9 and April 14 will be considered for the initial selection process.
The pre-K interest form will be posted on the Liverpool CSD Web site, liverpool.k12.ny.us/schools/expanded-pre-k/index, on Jan. 9.
The pre-K program is not housed in Liverpool Central School District school buildings. Instead, the district partners with local community-based organizations for its pre-K program.
Transportation to and from the program is the responsibility of parents/guardians. Students must attend the program five days a week to maintain their seat.
