How to Register
To enroll into UPK, please contact District Registrar, Bridget Liebig at bliebig@granvillecsd.org or 518-642-1051 Ext. 1318.
We will be holding UPK screening days for each registered student on May 20 and May 21. Once your registration is complete, you will be offered a time slot for your student's screening day. The screening day helps us get to know your child, assesses if they might need any extra supports and helps staff place them with the right teacher and student group.
Please have all registration forms completed and handed in to the District Registrar by Wednesday, April 22, 2026.
For any registration questions, please contact District Registrar, Bridget Liebig bliebig@granvillecsd.org or 518-642-1051 Ext. 1318.
