Bensalem Township School District Home

Welcome to kindergarten! We hope you and your future kindergarten student are enjoying the summer. As we get ready for the first days of kindergarten, we will be holding a kindergarten screener. The purpose of a kindergarten screening is not to test how much your child knows; but, rather it is to assess where your child is with their kindergarten readiness skills. This will allow their teacher time to plan how to best support your child starting on the very first day of school. Your child will spend approximately 10 minutes with a teacher to complete the kindergarten screening.

It was a beautiful, cool evening as the Class of 2019 paraded from BHS to the stadium to receive their diploma.

Sixth graders at Valley Elementary and the tenth graders in Mrs. Mary Ellen Phillips social studies classes took part in a program that Mr. Taylor and Mrs. Phillips put together called CONNECT.
