Each spring, Bland Elementary hosts a Pre-kindergarten & Kindergarten Round-up registration event for students entering pre-kindergarten or kindergarten the following school year.
To attend pre-kindergarten, students must be four years of age or older on or before September 1.
Bland Elementary offers a full-day pre-kindergarten program. Students must be four years of age on or before September 1 of the target school year.
The program is free for qualifying students and busing is provided.
The focus of the pre-kindergarten program is to develop oral language, prerequisite skills for emergent readers and early math concepts, and to build readiness skills for successful entry into kindergarten. Registration is held each August for the upcoming school year, but Bland Elementary accepts new students who qualify for free pre-kindergarten throughout the school year.
