About UPK
DoDEA’s UPK program supports students’ social-emotional, language, cognitive, and physical development using an age-appropriate curriculum. Children will explore subject areas including literacy, mathematics, science, social studies and the arts, and participate in a family-style meal program.
How to Register
Sponsors currently stationed at NSA Bahrain with children eligible for pre-kindergarten can register now via the DoDEA Student Information System (DSIS) portal, available here: https://dodeasis.myfollett.com/aspen/logon.do. If you have any questions about the registration process, please contact the registrar at BES, Fatma Myers at fatma.myers@dodea.edu
UPK will be implemented across DoDEA in three phases spanning a five-year period. When completed, DoDEA will serve an additional estimated 6,000 prekindergarten students at 60 military communities world-wide.
We look forward to welcoming prekindergarten students to the Falcon family this fall!
