INTEREST SURVEY: Junior Kindergarten 2025-2026

What is Junior Kindergarten? It's a free, full-day program that bridges the critical transition between home and school by offering an extra year of learning, emphasizing academic, social, emotional, and physical skill development. BPS wants to ensure students meet the academic standards and benchmarks appropriate to their age while providing meaningful context and real-life applications. Teachers are invested in helping cultivate a student's life-long love of learning through these connections.

The program is an ideal option for families with kindergarten-eligible students, born between June 1-Dec. 1, 2020, seeking to benefit from extra time for their child to grow and mature. Are you considering enrolling for Junior Kindergarten for the 2025-2026 academic year? If so, please ensure you complete the district interest survey no later than 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 27.

Each year the BEF grants $100,000+ to support exceptional education programs both in and out of the classroom by connecting innovative teachers with community support. Please consider donating to the Annual Fund today!
