In-Boundary Kindergarten and New Family Registration

Kindergarten Registration occurs annually at the beginning of May!

Do you have a child ready for Kindergarten next school year?  Are you new to the Bateman Community?  Please help us prepare for next year by attending our Kindergarten and New Family Registration Week.  Families living within the neighborhood boundaries of Bateman Elementary should register new students for the school year during the annual Registration Week!

Make sure to check the Bateman calendar for important dates!

For the 2020-2021 School Year, neighborhood families can begin to register online beginning Thursday, May 14, 2020! Please fill out the form beginning on Thursday, May 14th to notify us of your intent to enroll your child at Bateman for Kindergarten for the 2020-2021 academic year.
