The Middletown Public Schools Preschool Lottery application period for the 2025-2026 school year has been extended for one additional week, from April 4 through April 11, 2025.
While information about the lottery was previously posted on our district and school websites, as well as on our social media platforms during March, we recognize that we overlooked sharing this important opportunity via email/ParentSquare. We want to ensure all eligible families have the chance to apply for our full school day preschool program.
