PRE-K Announcement from the Bordentown Regional School District:
This message is for families of children who are PreK-age (3-4 years old, or 2 years old but turning 3 during the current school year):
We have received a notification from the New Jersey Department of Education that our Preschool Expansion Aid (PEA) application has been accepted and approved. This means that our district will be receiving additional funds from the State to support our growing PreK program here in Bordentown. In the coming months, we will be opening new PreK classrooms at Peter Muschal Elementary School that are 100% free of charge for Bordentown families.
If you have a PreK-age child and you reside within the boundaries of the Bordentown Regional School District, your child will be eligible for participation in the free PreK program. Depending on the number of pre-registrations we receive, there may be a need for a lottery system to determine which students are enrolled in the new PreK classes.
As such, we are asking families to pre-register their PreK-age children using the Google Survey at the link below. Please note that if your child is currently enrolled in a PreK classroom at Peter Muschal or Clara Barton, there is no need to fill out the survey:
