Blackford Preschool Academy 2026-2027 Enrollment Information

We are seeking Blackford Bruins! Are your students registered for the 2026-2027 session? If not, please visit https://www.blackfordschools.org/o/bcs/page/registration-and-immunizations to register your students.
A couple of things:
1) We recommend using a tablet or computer to register your students. It will make your online registration experience easier. (The Skyward App continues to have issues.) If you prefer to register your students in person, secretaries are in the buildings until 3 p.m. daily.
2) Meet the Teacher Nights will take place for BPS and BJSHS on Monday, August 3 at 5 p.m. At BIS, Meet the Teacher takes place on Tuesday, August 4 at 5 p.m. This is a great opportunity for your students to tour their school and meet their teacher(s).
3) The first day of school is Wednesday, August 5. (School Supply Lists can be found on the BCS Registration Page.)
4) Questions? Call: BPS-765.458.7584, BIS-765.348.7595, BJSHS-765.348.7560 or C.O.-765.348.7550.
