Gearing Up for Kindergarten

The first day of kindergarten is a huge milestone for families. At Bismarck Public Schools, we are committed to ensuring incoming kindergartners are equipped to thrive when they set foot in one of our schools for the first time.

The Gearing Up for Kindergarten program helps to prepare both parents and students for the first day of school by offering four sessions with topics tailored to the needs of kindergarten families.

This year, sessions will be offered at three locations: Grimsrud, Roosevelt, and Sunrise Elementary Schools. Families are welcome to attend any session that works best for them.
