Dear Londonderry \u2013 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We wanted to share a status-update on Full Day Kindergarten with the community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the vote in March, two basic questions on Full Day Kindergarten have repeatedly been asked at our elementary schools and District Office:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. If the majority of the town voted in support of the project this March, why can\u2019t we start full day kindergarten?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. \u00a0At this time, is there any plan to move forward with full day kindergarten on any timeline?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Seeing the parent and community interest and receiving these questions over and over again this spring, we held a roundtable discussion last Thursday night (June 5th) in the Matthew Thornton library for any community member to attend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We were joined by a large, motivated group of parents and community members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We shared the last two full day K projects that went to the voters and did our best to answer those two important questions. We then opened up the room to audience feedback, and a wide-ranging discussion on full day kindergarten ensued. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We received much feedback to separate the full day kindergarten project from the district office project in the future. We also received a lot of feedback on the need to find a way forward with full day kindergarten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Our elementary principals will share more detailed feedback from the evening at our upcoming School Board Meeting on June 17th at 7pm in the LHS Cafeteria. You can watch that meeting here:  https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@LondonderrySchoolDistrict\/streams<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Based on the passion and energy in the room last Thursday, we plan on holding further roundtable discussions this summer to help parents and community members understand and be a part of the process to see if we are able to pursue Full Day Kindergarten in the upcoming budget cycle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Stay tuned for those dates and times on our Social Media platforms this summer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If any parents or members of the community want to directly join our communication group on full day kindergarten, please fill out the following form.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We hope everyone is enjoying all of the end of school year events. Have a great summer, Londonderry!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
