Kindergartners in Roselle are getting half the education they should. Whether it was part of the referendum or not, full day kindergarten needs to come back. We moved here specifically because they had full day here and they took it away the very year we needed it. Luckily, we had the means to send our child to private school, and while it was a great experience, that’s $6000 that we did not plan to spend, thanks to the decisions of D12. The only reason I voted for the referendum is because I knew we’d go back to public school eventually. Without full day kindergarten, the district will lose higher income families to private school and lose the financial support of those families moving forward (ie: I wouldn’t have voted for the referendum if we were staying in private school).
As parent of 2 who will attend Spring Hill Elementary, as well as being an educator myself, I strongly believe full day kindergarten is in the best interests of students and parents, for more time in school to build academic, social, kinesthetic, and play skills without rushing through the day. Half day kindergarten puts our students at a disadvantage going into first grade, and the extra half day will help those students who need more individual attention, interventions, repetition of concepts, etc. so please invest in our students by providing them the best start they can have to their public school experience in Roselle school district: full day kindergarten!
Both of my children attended full day kindergarten at Spring Hills School back when we were one of the only school in the area that offered it which was one reason why we chose to buy a house in Roselle. Now we are one of the only districts that doesn't offer it! Bringing back full day kindergarten will help jump start children's education and better prepare them for elementary school and attract young families to Roselle.
As an educator in Schaumburg School District 54 for the past 25 years, I see the real academic, social, and behavioral benefits of full day kindergarten. We implemented full day kindergarten 3 years ago in all our elementary schools throughout District 54. We are seeing increased learning and test scores for the 1st and 2nd graders who had the benefit of full day kindergarten.; not to mention the social advances that they have made as well. Why is District 12 moving backwards? Don't we want our children to compete with thir local peers? Our 2 children are almost out of college, and I can say that full day kindergarten at Spring Hills School help to lay a strong foundation for further learning. I am thankful that my children benefitted from this school day structure.
During school conferences a 1st grade teacher wants it back! All of the kids coming back into the district (after going out of district for full day K) are coming in & the teachers know nothing about them or how they were taught! It’s a disadvantage for all!!!!!
BRING BACK FULL DAY KINDERGARTEN!!! Other districts are moving to include, yet we are taking two steps back and cutting it? ALONG with a tax increase for the schools! It is not right!
All day kindergarten is necessary. My daughter benefited from the full day program.

I saw a huge difference in what my son learned and experienced in full day SHS kindergarten and what my daughter did in half day. The kids need and deserve to have full day kindergarten just like the surrounding elementary schools. Funding for full day was promised when we signed the referendum.
