Blackford Primary School

Blackford Primary School will continue to hold walk in registration this evening until 7:00 pm. If you need assistance with Skyward, feel free to join us. We are still expecting approximately 100 more students to be registered out of the expected 345 Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd graders. Please complete your child's registration so we can balance classes.

The Back to School Carnival is less than a week away!

As you can tell by the photos, they were a little nervous to present at last night's school board meeting, but they did so well! Several of the BPS Preschool Academy's students and staff were on hand to thank donors for their kindness throughout the school year. Preschool Director Shalee Myron updated the board on the program's accomplishments during the year. Later, the board voted to expand the program for the 2025-2026 school year. Mrs. Myron says there are only a few spaces available, but you can add your child's name to the list by calling 765.348.7584.

Our teachers are the best. Please join us in thanking them for all they do! #BetterAtBlackford
