    Broadalbin-Perth's Parent University series continues Thursday, Jan. 16 with a session on helping children develop a growth mindset and build resilience. The webinar begins at 6:30 p.m. via Zoom; pre-registration is required. According to presenter Dr. Jennifer Bashant, founder of Building Better Futures, when a child never faces and overcomes obstacles, they learn that they can't trust themselves to figure things out. It can be difficult for parents or caregivers to let their child struggle, knowing that they may not be successful. During this webinar, Bashant will introduce the concept of a growth mindset and offer steps a parent can take to build resilience in their child. Click here to pre-register for the webinar. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email that contains information about joining the webinar.

  • Pre-K and kindergarten registration for the 2025-26 ...

    Registration for the full-day pre-K and kindergarten programs at Broadalbin-Perth Elementary School are now open for the 2025-26 school year. Both programs are free for Broadalbin-Perth residents. Broadalbin-Perth families with children who will be four years old on or before Dec. 1, 2025, are invited to register their children for the district's full-day prekindergarten program for the 2025-26 school year. Children who will be five years old on or before Dec. 1, 2025, should be registered for the district’s kindergarten program. Children who are currently attending Broadalbin-Perth's pre-K program do not need to be registered for kindergarten. Broadalbin-Perth's full-day pre-K program serves as many as 90 eligible children each year; there are no enrollment restrictions for the kindergarten program. The school district provides transportation to and from school for all pre-K and kindergarten students, and optional before- and after-school childcare programs are available for a fee. School breakfast and lunch are also available free of charge to all students attending Broadalbin-Perth Elementary School. If the district receives more than 90 completed applications for resident children for the pre-K program, B-P will conduct a lottery on June 1 to fill the available program slots. Completed applications must be received by May 23 to qualify for the lottery. For more information about Broadalbin-Perth's pre-K program, visit www.bpcsd.org/pre-k/ .
