Universal Pre-Kindergarten (UPK)
UPK registration is for children who will be four (4) years of age on or before December 1, 2026.

Susquehanna Valley’s UPK Program includes two classrooms at Brookside Elementary School and two classrooms at Donnelly Elementary School, for a total of 72 available slots, with 18 students per class. If the number of registered students exceeds available space, a random lottery process will be used to ensure equitable placement. The lottery will take place in April, and families will be notified of their child’s enrollment status and building assignment. Please note that building placement requests cannot be guaranteed.
