Battle Ground schools Deputy Superintendent Denny Waters talks with kindergarten students on their first day back in class
Kindergarten orientations begin May 24 in Battle Ground schools - 04/19/21

Calling the class of 2034! Kindergarten enrollment is open for Battle Ground Public Schools, and with orientations coming up the week of May 24, now is the time to sign up. 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.

What to expect

Kindergarten is an exciting time but can also be a lot to take in for youngsters. We put together a fun video with our primary school mascots that you can show your children to help explain what they’ll experience in kindergarten. From getting ready for school, to arriving at their building, checking in and arriving at class, to recess and even a trip to the nurse’s office for a scraped knee, our teachers and staff work hard to make sure kindergarten is a fun and rewarding experience for all of our students. 

Who is eligible?

If your child will be five years old by Aug. 31, 2021, they are eligible to enter kindergarten this fall. Students who enroll in Battle Ground's full-day kindergarten benefit from the advantages of a developmentally appropriate program.

Families can find out which school their child will attend by using the Clark County Property Information Center or by calling the district boundaries office at (360) 885-6577.

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. Please note that the State of Washington requires that immunization records be medically verified

2021-22 School Calendar

School will begin next year on Wednesday, Sept. 1; however, kindergartners have a staggered start. Enrolled kindergartners will be invited to participate in an introductory program that allows small groups of students to get acclimated to the school environment, routines, their teacher and classroom, and other students on the first days of school. Parents will receive a letter before the start of school about their child's start date. A list of key dates for the 2021-22 school year, including breaks and holidays, is available on the district website: www.battlegroundps.org/school-calendars/.

Right At School before and after school care

We are excited to announce a partnership with Right At School, a nationally recognized school enrichment provider.Beginning next Fall, Right At School will offer the program to students in kindergarten through eighth grades. Care will be available from 6:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. every day school is in session at all primary schools and Amboy Middle. Visit the Right At School website to learn pricing and more.
