The purpose of this petition is to let the Interlake School Board know that  parents/caregivers/teachers/the general public in Stonewall and surrounding communities wish to have kindergarten changed to full days every second day, as opposed to half days every day at Ecole R.W. Bobby Bend School. The reasons are: 1. Not convenient for working parents/parents with little ones/daycares/caregivers due to midday pick up/drop off. 2. Midday pick up/drop off is an unreasonable expectation, especially with no offered bus service for out of town children. 3. Pick up/drop off is unsafe, due to unnecessary increased traffic and children leaving/arriving at school (increased risk of injury or missing children). 4. There is no adequate parking at the school for parents to pick up/drop off their children 5. Most of the schools in the Interlake have full day every second day kindergarten.  6. Full day attendance will better prepare students for Grade 1.  7. Less interruption in the school day (organizing, dressing/undressing, arriving/leaving students).  If you support the logic of this petition, please sign!

I have submitted a formal request for a meeting with the Interlake School Board to present the safety and logistical concerns regarding the current kindergarten schedule. The data collected from this petition will serve as the primary evidence during that discussion.

The growth of this petition shows the board that our community expects a shift to full day kindergarten. I am currently drafting a formal letter to the Interlake School Board to request a meeting regarding these transit and scheduling concerns.

Driving back and forth at noon is impossible when you have a job. Please fix this schedule it makes life way too complicated for families.

The parking lot is a total disaster zone at midday. It is only a matter of time before someone gets hit. Full days are long overdue.

My kid needs more time to settle into the classroom. The half day rush is just stressful for everyone involved.
