BPS Preschool Application
Apply Today for the 2024-25 School Year!
Do you have a child that you would like to be a peer at our Preschool next year?
Preschool in the Bennington Public Schools is held at Anchor Pointe Elementary School. Currently we serve students on a 50/50 basis, meaning 50% of our students in each class have an Individualized Education Plan (meaning they qualify as a student with a disability), the other 50% of our students are considered Peer Role Models and are typically developing. Below is the application for preschool for those students that do not have a current IEP.
How to apply
Please click here to submit an application for your child to participate in the 2024-25 preschool peer screening process.
