WELCOME TO KINDERGARTEN IN ABSS!
Kindergarten enrollment for 2024-2025 is live!
Schools will be mailing beginning of the year information to families the first week of August. Students will have staggered entry on August 26, 27, or 28 depending on the school. All kindergarteners will have their first normal day of school on Thursday, August 29th.
We are committed to providing a foundation that will help our youngest learners build on their futures. If your student will turn 5 before August 31, 2024, they are eligible to enroll in ABSS for the 2024-2025 academic year. The Enrollment links are only for NEW students not currently enrolled in ABSS Pre-K. If you have a Pre-K student in an ABSS school, please follow the Registration Instructions.
