Kindergarten orientations begin May 17 in Battle Ground School District

Students enrolling for fall classes will be members of the Class of 2031

BATTLE GROUND — The Battle Ground School District is calling the Class of 2031. Kindergarten orientations are coming up soon in Battle Ground schools, so don’t wait to enroll. Online enrollment is now open for kindergartners who will attend Battle Ground Public Schools for the 2018-19 school year. Once enrolled, students and their families will be invited to attend a kindergarten orientation at their school.   Kindergarten orientations will be held at:

• Captain Strong Primary, May 24, 5-7 p.m.
• Daybreak Primary, May 17, 6-7 p.m.
• Glenwood Heights Primary, May 31, 5:30-7:00 p.m.
• Maple Grove K-8, May 24, 3:30-4:30 p.m.
• Pleasant Valley Primary, May 30, 5:30-7:00 p.m.
• Tukes Valley Primary, May 31, 6:00-7:00 p.m.
• Yacolt Primary, May 31, 6:00-7:00 p.m.

These orientations are a time for you and your child to get to know your school and to learn more about the kindergarten program. Enrolling your child prior to these orientations is a key step in being prepared for the school year, and helps the district plan for the number of teachers it will need to serve our youngest students. Any child who will be five years old before Sept. 1, 2018 is eligible to enter kindergarten in the fall. To enroll, parents will need proof of their child's birth date (such as a birth certificate) and a signed and completed Washington state Certificate of Immunization Status form. Full-day kindergarten will be offered at all primary schools so that students can benefit from the advantages of a developmentally appropriate, program. Parents can find out which school their child will attend by using the district's online boundary map at www.battlegroundps.org or by calling the district boundaries office at (360) 885-6577.
