BGISD Preschool students attend four days per week with sessions on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. We offer a full school day of programming four days a week. Preschool starts at 8:30 and ends at 2:30.

We will NOT have students on Fridays to allow for teacher planning, preparation, home visits/conferences and professional development.

NEW! BGISD will also offer tuition-based preschool for up to 25 students that are 4 years old and not otherwise eligible for the program. Students would need to be 4 by August 1, 2023.
