GSRP Application
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!

Registration for the '24-25 school year will open March 15 at pinckney.ce.eleyo.com.

Program cost and GSRP partnership
Rates for the 2024-2025 school year are listed below. You may choose to pay your child's tuition in full by September 1 and receive a 10% discount. Please email khultgren@pinckneypirates.org to have the discount applied.

Additionally, our GSRP partnership with LESA will continue for the '24-25 school year and will be available to students enrolled in our four-year-old full and half day programs! We're encouraging all of our families who will have a child in our four-year-old program to apply for free or reduced tuition. Visit www.startfreepreschool.org to get started.

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. Families must commit to all the 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 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.
