(Please bring your child's birth certificate to 4K registration along with proof of residency). You may contact District Registrar, Kristine Snow, at 608-355-3955 or
ksnow@barabooschools.net
with registration questions or you can visit her at the district office at 423 Linn Street, Baraboo to register for 4K after April 2. You are invited to discover more about 4K in Baraboo by accessing the 4K videos found at the following website:
Baraboo 4K Curriculum & Instruction
.
The 4-year-old kindergarten (4K) program also known as BELC (Baraboo Early Learning Cooperative) will be beginning it's 12th year of programming in the fall of 2019. Please note that BELC is a half-day program for 3.17 hours on 4 days (M, T, Th & F) each week with many parent outreach opportunities. Our BELC AM session runs from 7:55-11:05 am., and our BELC PM session runs from 11:50 am. - 3:00 pm. Any 4K student would need to qualify for transportation based on the location of their residence outside of the Baraboo city limits, and 4K transportation is only provided during our afternoon sessions. We do not typically offer a second year of BELC to an individual student as 4K is meant to be a one-year program for all of our students.
Please contact Dr. Chris Olson, BELC/West Principal, at 608-355-3906 or
cdolson@barabooschools.net
at any time with 4K questions regarding the 2019-20 school year. Thank you for working to give your child a great start with their educational career by registering him/her for 4K. We look forward to working with your family!
