Northampton Public Preschool:  Virtual/Hybrid  2020-2021

Northampton Preschool Programs 2020-2021
Virtual program and Hybrid program

OVERALL PROGRAM
The preschool program in Northampton is still in two locations, and runs the equivalent of 4 half-days a week, but is mostly virtual this year for typically developing students:
  • Bridge Street School
  • Leeds Elementary School

Fall 2021 schools and classrooms: CLICK HERE for a Preschool Overview
  • Children in the Jackson Street or Bridge Street school zones go to the Bridge Street School preschool
  • Children who live in the Ryan Road or Leeds Elementary school zones go to the Leeds Elementary school preschool
  • Children are placed in programs via a lottery system, both for placement in the default 1/2 day program and for placement in a full day program. All applications submitted by March 15 are considered equally in the first round of the lottery. There are rolling admissions thereafter.
  • The School Choice process does not apply for the preschool -- that system only applies for K-12 grades.  Occasionally, if one school program has more spaces and the other school has more applicants, a space at the other school might be offered.

CURRENT YEAR: Rolling admissions (until April 1): Complete a preschool application for this current year:  click here
FALL 2021 -- Apply by March 15: Complete a preschool application for next year:  click here


Learning options for 2020-2021:
Virtual learning:  primary preschool access for our students -- 1/2 day program either mornings or afternoons 4 days a week
In-person learning:  has been extremely limited:  only for children with special learning needs or at risk since September

As of mid-December, the Northampton Preschool has moved to a Hybrid program, with 2 consecutive days a week of in-person instruction and the rest as-needed asynchronous instruction via a class dojo. The preschool has added a few spaces for typically developing children; paused until Jan 25.

Hybrid learning (limited in-person) -- 4.5 hours of in-person two consecutive days a week
  • Cohort A:  Mon & Tues from 8:50-1:20 and Thurs/Fri asynchronous learning -- log onto class dojo for related activities
  • Cohort B:  Thurs & Fri from 8:50-1:20 -- log onto class dojo for related activities
