Neighboring communities have smaller class sizes, as do other Deerfield schools. We need to be proactive and insist that Kipling opens this 4th section of 2nd grade now, so that a decision is not made late in the summer. This will leave the school scrambling to hire a teacher who may be less qualified and then redistribute the class lists in a less thoughtful manner. This mistake has been made in the past at Kipling. Let's learn from that, and prevent it from occurring by taking action now. 

Please, both parents of all students sign this petition so we can have the best experience for our children and their teachers!
