In less than two weeks, enrollment for the West Bend School District’s 4K program for the 2025-2026 school year opens. On Monday, January 27, families can go to WBSD4k.org to enroll.

The West Bend School District 4K program:

• Partners with community-based 4K providers with locations in West Bend, Jackson, and Newburg

• Features a play-based learning model that fosters children’s natural curiosity through hands-on activities designed to promote exploration, problem-solving, and meaningful engagement.

• Incorporate nature-inspired learning, with two sites offering nature-based programming where students spend half of their time outdoors participating in structured lessons that encourage curiosity and discovery.

• Provide wraparound care options at most locations, allowing children to remain at their assigned location if daycare is needed.

Check out all the details of the program at WBSD4K.org.

In addition, students currently enrolled in the 4K program for this school year are automatically enrolled for WBSD kindergarten for 2025-2026. If a student is not enrolled in the WBSD’s 4K, they may be enrolled for kindergarten beginning January 27. Kindergarten enrollment is completed online.

The final day of the first semester is Friday, January 17. In addition, students will have a day off from school on Monday, January 20 for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Teachers will be using that day for grading and reporting.
