Open Enrollment for the 2025-26 school year will be July 8th from 12pm-6pm at Austin Tracy Elementary.
If you have a student that will be entering Kindergarten (turning 5 before August 1st), or you are interested in enrolling your child (age 3-4) in PreK this is the time to do it! Open Enrollment is also for any other student (PK through 6th grade) that would like to attend Austin Tracy next year! We will have staff onsite to assist with the enrollment process, give tours of the building, and discuss any, and all questions, that you may have about what we can offer at Austin Tracy Elementary.
If you are unable to come and see us on July 8th, you can always complete the enrollment process on the Austin Tracy Elementary homepage at: https://ate.barren.kyschools.us/o/bcsd/page/registration
Our parents/families have always been our strongest advocates. Many of our families drive from neighboring counties, and adjacent communities, because of the love, and support, their student has received from our faculty and staff. We may not have the largest enrollment, but what we can offer is a personalized educational experience where students are provided the support they need to learn at high levels.
The BCMS Softball Team will be hosting tryouts for incoming 6th, 7th, and 8th graders on June 19th and 20th. Students must have an up to date KHSAA Sports Physical in order to participate.
