What is a preschool-aged
student?
• In New York State, a child age 3-5 and not enrolled in
Kindergarten is considered a preschool-aged
student.
• Grade “PS” and Grade “PK” students are both
considered preschool-aged.
What is the difference between grade
“PS” and grade “PK”?
• Grade “PS” students are NOT enrolled in a
prekindergarten program in your school or a universal
pre-K program.
• Grade “PS” students are children referred to the CPSE for
special-education eligibility determination (Code:
4034/140) and students receiving preschool specialeducation services (Code: 0011), i.e. at an approved
preschool for students with disabilities or at home by the
county.
• Grade “PK” students are children who are enrolled in a
prekindergarten or universal pre-K program.
• Note: A student should only be reported as Grade “PK” if
he/she is in a Pre-K program operated by your district or
in a Universal Pre-K program under contract with your
district.

• If you have a Grade “PS” student referred for CPSE
evaluation (4034) on 5/1/2011 for example and the
CPSE determination (140) was made on 7/16/2011
for example, you would end the determination
process (140) on 6/30/2011. You cannot start the
next school year (which starts on 7/1/2011) with an
