Pre-K Handbook

Welcome to prekindergarten!

No step is more important in your child’s education than the first one. That’s why the City School District of Albany is dedicated to building a solid educational foundation for success starting with our youngest learners.

This page is the online version of the Pre-K Handbook we offer to families, which is also available to print as a Google Doc.
