Early Entrance to Kindergarten

Vermont school districts are not obligated by law to allow student early entrance before age 5. However, in an attempt to meet the needs of individual children, as a service, Burlington School District will consider early entrance requests for students whose birth date falls between September 2nd and September 30th of the year the child turns 5, if requested. Such evaluation is consistent with Policy F 14: Request for K Early Entrance.

Register for Pre-K or Grades 1-12

If you are registering for any grade other than Kindergarten, please register today via our online registration.

Please Note: If your child was enrolled in our preschool program last year, you do not need to register them again if they are continuing in preschool. If your child is moving up to Kindergarten, please see the Kindergarten Registration section above.

Helpful tips:

Check your internet browser. Currently, Internet Explorer is not supported by the software we are using to collect this data. Firefox, Safari, or Chrome are recommended.
When registering, be careful to choose the correct school year you are registering for. For example, if you are new to BSD and your student needs to begin attending school as soon as possible, you should register using the “2022/2023” section. If you’re registering your kindergartener for 2023, you’ll want to choose “2023/2024; this will only be available after January 30, 2023.”
If you are having trouble, please contact the administrative assistant at your school or at the school that is your first choice for your student. You can find contact information for each school here. Click on the link for an individual school and then look for the Main Office contact info at the bottom of each school’s homepage.
