Press Release, Medina Central School

MEDINA – The Medina Central School District has seats available in the full-day Pre-K program for eligible district students for the remainder of the year.

As the district approaches the halfway point of the school year, Medina would like to stress the importance of a solid foundation in learning.

“We have seen a greater increase in student achievement in Kindergarten from students who attended the full-day program versus those who did not,” said Julie Webber, assistant superintendent for instruction.

The Medina Pre-K program follows the same schedule as the other Oak Orchard Primary

School grades from 7:45 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. The district provides students with breakfast, lunch and transportation.

They participate in purposeful play activities in the classroom while establishing foundations in literacy, math, science and citizenship. Students also participate in art, music, library, STEM and physical education classes.

“Through UPK, children have the opportunity to interact with their peers, develop important social skills, and build confidence in a supportive setting,” said Jennifer Stearns, principal at Oak Orchard Primary School. “These early experiences will provide a strong foundation for their academic journey and lay the groundwork for a positive attitude toward learning.”

Eligible students at this time are those who reside in the district and who turned 4 years old on or before Dec. 1, 2024.

If you are interested in enrolling your eligible child for the remainder of this school year, please reach out to Oak Orchard Primary School at 585-798-2700, option 3.

Note: Registration will begin in March for the 2025-2026 Pre-kindergarten program for students who will be 4 years old on or before Dec. 1, 2025.
