2025 is off to a great start! Here at CTSD, we
are already thinking ahead to the 2025-2026
school year! Part of that planning includes
students registering for Kindergarten Round-
Up and applying for a spot in our Spruce Run
Preschool Lottery. In order to be eligible for
Kindergarten your child needs to be 5 on or
before October 1, 2025. In order to sign up for
the preschool your child needs to be 3 on or
before October 1, 2025. We are opening two
additional classrooms next year at Spruce Run
Preschool which will give us more than 120 spots
for 3 and 4-year-olds of the Clinton Township
School District Community. This program is
free of cost to the students who are eligible and
selected to attend. Students who are enrolled in
the program as 3-year-olds automatically have
a spot as a four-year-old. In order to attend,
students should be potty trained and parents
may have to be able to provide transportation.
There is no transportation for students who
live within two miles of the school. The YMCA
is able to provide before and after care at a cost.
If your child does not get a spot in the lottery
they will be placed on a wait list. The lottery
is March 25th and the link will be shared with
those who finished the initial interest form.
Please see the SpruceRun Preschool Website
for more information.
We are thankful to New Jersey for being able
to offer preschool to our residents and look
forward to serving more families in the years
to come, pending funding. This is just another
great opportunity that CTSD offers.

Ed.D Superintendent, CTSD
