Enter your preferred contact information into the enrollment form, and then be on the lookout for a call from a BCPS teacher or kindergarten specialist who can help set up a time that works for you to check in. Your specialist will give you ideas and activities to use with your child to build up their kindergarten-level skills and knowledge. Your specialist will call you each week to see how the activities went from the past week and to offer more ideas and recommendations for fun ways to help your child enter kindergarten ready to succeed.

Backpacks will be distributed to enrolled Kindergarteners in early August.
