Kindergarten orientations will be held in the Battle Ground School District May 24-26

Battle Ground Public Schools encourages parents with children who will turn five years old by Aug. 31 to begin the kindergarten enrollment process soon to ensure your child can attend upcoming orientations.

These events are a great opportunity to learn more about the district’s kindergarten programs, meet with teachers and visit a classroom at your child’s school. Enrolling your child prior to these orientations also helps the district plan for the number of teachers and staffing necessary to serve our youngest students.
