Students who have been determined to be legal residents, or those who temporarily reside within the district as homeless children in accordance with the Commissioner's Regulations, who meet district registration requirements, are entitled to attend the Public Schools within the East Meadow School District. In accordance with its obligation, the East Meadow Board of Education regulates student enrollment, to maintain the quality of its educational programs for district resident children, and to ensure that its educational programs and resources remain available for those students who are legally entitled to benefit from them. When there is cause to suspect that a student attending or seeking to be enrolled in the East Meadow School District is not eligible to attend the District's schools, the District will investigate the student's eligibility. Community members with information regarding students who may be ineligible to attend District schools are encouraged to contact the Registration Office at (516) 478-5526. Calls will be confidential and can be made anonymously.

Preschool Special Education Program
The Preschool Special Education Program provides services to children who are 3 to 5 years old with developmental delays and/or educational needs. Eligibility is based on the results of multidisciplinary evaluations, which are at no cost to the family. The Committee on Preschool Special Education (CPSE) determines eligibility, recommends appropriate special education and/or related services and creates an Individualized Education Program (IEP) for each eligible child. When the Registration for your child is finalized, you will receive an email from the CPSE department with further instructions to start the process. (please check your email/spam folders often for an email from kmgroller@emufsd.us or please call 516-478-5535).
