Children within the district, who are four years old, are eligible to attend the KCSD Universal Pre K Program offered throughout the community. A Comprehensive District Education Plan Committee (CDEPC)—derived from community members, schoolteachers, and district administrators—has designed a district-wide curriculum that adheres to the New York State Education Department (NYSED) standards.

Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Ulster District Curriculum
The standards include providing all students challenging core instruction and a variety of elective options. The district curriculum also follows the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), in which the NYSED has adopted and personalized for state requirements. The CCSS highlights changes in English language arts and mathematics curricula. Instruction for grades K-12 includes developmentally appropriate coursework and objectives, which prepare students for the next academic level. Schools offer courses in core academic subjects, as well as supplemental courses in arts, music, and physical education.
Post-secondary preparation means that teachers and guidance counselors provide students with opportunities, instruction, and tools to create and complete plans for college and/or career.

Chalk Talk: The Importance of Cultural Identity in Schools
School communities in the United States are unique in that they serve students from a variety of nationalities and ethnic groups. All students have different family dynamics and traditions. Some families have been in the U.S. for generations, some families have only recently arrived to this country. Students may speak and understand only a little English, while others know many different languages. With these various experiences and skills comes a wealth of opportunity. Students can teach others about holidays and festivals their cultures observe. Teachers can encourage students to create and join clubs that celebrate different cultural customs and languages. School faculty can host events that highlight particular cultural customs. These events can involve singing, dancing, eating, and speaking. With the rich dynamics of American culture, schools, in particular, are in a unique position to teach and learn about the world on a daily basis. Schools should encourage students to share and respond positively to cultural identities.
