Health Appraisal for Registration

Our highly-qualified teachers use the Orton Gillingham methodology and all five pillars of literacy-plus language comprehension to drive measurable gains for all students. Our programs are located within our elementary schools to give our youngest learners exposure to the elementary school setting. In addition, our preschool teachers work closely with our K-2 teachers to help students prepare for their next step, kindergarten!

Register for the '24-25 school year online at pinckney.ce.eleyo.com.

Preschool Fee Schedule

Latchkey is available to preschoolers before and after school for an additional fee.

Friday Child Care is available for those students attending any of the four-day preschool programs. The cost is $30 per week (this cost is not covered by GSRP and is the responsibility of the contract-owner). Families must commit to all available Fridays; if your child is not in attendance, you will still be billed. This program will follow the school calendar. Parents provide lunch and snacks for their child. To sign up for Friday Care, please mark "yes" to question 5 in the online registration, or email khultgren@pinckneypirates.org.

To register
New families must create an account at pinckney.ce.eleyo.com.  A $100 registration fee will be charged to reserve a place in the program. In addition to the online forms, the child's birth certificate, a doctor-signed health appraisal, and a current immunization record must be turned into the Community Education Office by emailing khultgren@pinckneypirates.org. Failure to submit these forms may cause you to lose your spot within the program.

Instructions on setting up an account can be found here.

Eligibility
Students must be 3 or 4 by September 1, 2024, for their respective programs.

All children in the preschool program must be completely toilet trained and be able to independently use the restrooms. No diapers or pull-ups are allowed unless medically necessary.
