A Message from the Department of Teaching and Learning
Kindergarten registration begins!
Registration for fall kindergarten has begun in Bellingham Public Schools, and we are so excited to welcome all young learners! 聽All children who will be 5 before Sept. 1, 2025 can be registered for kindergarten. Families can register their child online by following the instructions on聽our kindergarten webpage.
Registering kindergartners as early as possible helps us hire staff, balance classes, connect with families and get schools ready to welcome our youngest learners. Thanks in advance for letting a friend or neighbor with a future kindergartner know the registration window is open and ready for them!
All children who are currently enrolled in Promise K will automatically be enrolled in kindergarten at their neighborhood school聽for the fall and do not need to re-register.
To find out more about attendance areas, registration and childhood immunization requirements, please visit聽bellinghamschools.org/kindergarten聽or contact our聽elementary schools听诲颈谤别肠迟濒测.
