4K & 5K

Kindergarten Registration

Kindergarten registration is for children who will be age 4 or 5 on or before September 1, 2021 and plan to attend 4-year-old (half-day) or 5-year-old (full-day) kindergarten in the Burlington Area School District. Parents will be asked to select either the Traditional or Montessori program. See below for kindergarten locations.

4K registration is essential to help us plan. Accurate numbers help the district provide appropriate staffing allocations for programming. Unless a preference is stated for a partner provider (Acelero Learning Wisconsin - Headstart, Noah’s Ark or Plymouth Children’s Center) or the Montessori program, kindergarten students will be placed in their neighborhood school (BASD attendance boundary map). Students may be assigned to another school 4K if there are not enough students to offer the program in the neighborhood school. School assignments will be finalized in June once the majority of registrations have been received.

Registration Steps:

1. Visit the New Student Registration page to register online. (A hard copy of the registration forms can be picked up from elementary schools, district office, or printed from this website: English / Spanish)

NOTE: A copy of the child’s birth certificate must be provided. This can be uploaded as part of the online registration process OR the information can be verified in person at the district office.

2. After step one is complete, families will receive confirmation of registration and medical forms (health, vision, dental, immunization). Take these forms to the doctor’s office at the child’s next appointment and return to BASD by the first day of school.
    
3. In August, complete annual school registration and pay fees (online in Skyward). BASD does offer in-person registration to assist families who need computer access, wish to pay in cash, or need translation service. The date and location for in-person registration will be communicated in the summer.
