The board officially adopted the K-8 model for our neighborhood schools today. This victory belongs to all 162 of you who stayed focused on the mission. Keep an eye on the upcoming district planning meetings to ensure they follow through on these transitions.
A K-8 school is where students progress from kindergarten through eighth grade together.
By signing this petition, you are stating your support for K-8 schools which promote educational cohesion, increase student achievement, encourage neighborhood engagement and build strong communities of life long learners.
I am currently compiling our collected signatures to present to the school board members this week. Please call the district office today and demand they prioritize K-8 models for all local neighborhoods.

YES. K8 schools offer so much more stability for the kids. Middle school transitions are a nightmare for most families.

Much better for the kids to have teachers who actually know them for years instead of just jumping around grades. Do it.

My oldest loved staying at the same school for so long. It makes everything so much easier for parents and the kids get way more comfortable.
