To be eligible for kindergarten a child must be 5 years old by September 15, 2024.

The Bondurant-Farrar Community School District welcomes your kindergarten student! We take great pride in creating a culture of learning in our classrooms to help make the transition to kindergarten a positive experience for your child and family. We strive to help all children develop their talents in order that they may become productive citizens. 

In order to best prepare for our new students, the district asks new and returning families to complete online registration for incoming 2024-2025 kindergarten students beginning March 25, 2024.

In place of hosting an in-person Kindergarten Information Night, we'd like to invite you to learn more about our kindergarten program and support services by viewing the video below. We look forward to welcoming your child and family this fall.

STEP 1: Enroll online via Infinite Campus. Which best describes your family?

• If you are a NEW family to our district and have no children currently attending BFCSD, please enroll your kindergartner online via Infinite Campus.
• If you currently have children enrolled at BFCSD (PK-12), please log into your Infinite Campus parent portal, select "More" in the lower left corner, then click the "Online Registration" link to start the registration process for your child. Regardless of your child attending preschool with us, you will ADD him/her when you arrive at the STUDENT tab. If you're unsure of your username/password to log in, please contact Holly Roby.

Prepare to provide the following information during the registration process. 

• Proof of Residency (two documents, ie: purchase or lease agreement, utility bill, payroll check w/ address, vehicle registration)

STEP 2:  Submit required health documents.

To complete the kindergarten registration process, a health packet will be required prior to your child’s first day of school. Please refer to the State Health Requirements for further details regarding these requirements.

These forms can be returned at any time prior to the start of school: Bondurant-Farrar District Office, Attn: Registrar, 300 Garfield St SW, Bondurant, IA 50035 or via email to registrar@bfschools.org.
