Calling all families of 4- and 5-year-olds! It's time to start thinking about the upcoming school year. Here's what you need to know about Battle Ground Public Schools.
Transitional Kindergarten
Transitional Kindergarten is a full day, no-cost early learning program for children who will be 4 years old by Aug. 31. The program focuses on developmentally appropriate skills and social and emotional development. Students must meet eligibility requirements, and space is limited.
How to apply
Complete the 2025-26 eligibility interest form. Please note that state funding guidelines and potential changes to TK regulations (HB 1450) are being considered in the Washington state Legislature. Until the current legislative session has concluded and we are issued clear guidance from the Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI), we will not be able to make final decisions regarding acceptance into the TK program. We will notify families as soon as we receive updated OSPI guidance.
Kindergarten
Any child who will be five by Aug. 31 is eligible to enter kindergarten in the fall. Parents and guardians can enroll their child online.
Key dates:
Jump Start, a four-day program that helps students get acclimated to school, will be held in August.
Kindergartners will have a staggered start to the school year. Families will receive more information at a later date.
