Fall kindergarten registration is now open for children who will be 5 years old on or before July 31. Go to https://www.bismarckschools.org/kreg to get information to complete your child’s registration. If you don’t have access to a computer, you can visit any public elementary school to use one or stop by Central Registration at 806 N. Washington St., door #2. If you need assistance, email registrar@bismarckschools.org or call 701-323-4110. Students who attend BECEP can be registered for kindergarten at BECEP by March 12. NOTE: Parents are strongly encouraged to register their K-5^th grade students as soon as possible to help ensure placement in their neighborhood school. The sooner a student is registered, the higher the probability of them attending their boundary school. Due to capacity limitations, those who wait too long may be placed in a different school and required to wait until the following year to be enrolled in their boundary school. 

The Bismarck Public Schools Foundation (BPSF) has established a BPS Family Assistance Fund.  Those that wish to donate may do so through the foundation website or by mail.

Families seeking assistance are encouraged to reach out to their counselor or social worker who will connect them to established community resources as well as submit requests for funding needs that cannot be met within existing resources. The BPSF thanks those who have already reached out to volunteer and/or provide monetary donations to help those within our community who are struggling.
