Pre-BPS: Ready to Learn

Our goal before students even come to our Batesville public schools is for them to be ready to learn when they get here. Through partnerships with community groups, we hope to encourage reading to our youngest citizens so they can succeed when formal schooling begins.

• Dolly Parton Imagination Library
  • Free monthly books for children ages 0 through 5 for any student living in Ripley or Franklin counties
