Is my five-year-old child guaranteed a seat in a Boston Public Schools kindergarten program?
Yes. BPS guarantees a full-day kindergarten seat for every child who will be five years old by September 1. However, if you are not assigned to any of the schools you selected on your application, BPS will not “administratively assign” your 5-year-old student to a school. If your child is not assigned to a K2 program, you may visit any Family Resource Center to make additional choices. In order to improve your chances of receiving a K2 assignment, we urge you to choose at least 5, and preferably more, schools. All students ages 6 and older will be assigned to a school.
