Concord Public Schools is considering a move to some version of a full-day and/or full-week kindergarten. Please sign this petition if you are: * A parent who would rather have the option of providing for your kindergartener in the afternoon; * A parent who would welcome a full-day kindergarten for your child, but who also wishes other parents to have the option of half-days for their children, or; * A Concord resident who believes that it will strengthen the Town and its Schools to provide this flexibility to parents. In signing this petition, I affirm my support of those families who want to retain the option of a dedicated, fully-supported half-day kindergarten program in the Concord elementary schools. Further, I urge the Concord Public School system to provide the community and School Committee with an array of kindergarten options, including a dedicated, fully-supported half-day program for parents who feel this is the best option for their children. Please only sign this petition if you are resident of Concord, MA. Thank you. Note 1: If you choose the \"Display my name as anonymous\" option, your name will not be publicly displayed on the web. It will be available to the petition organizers so that we can share it with the School and School Committee. Note 2: Please only sign the petition for yourself. If your spouse would like to sign too, please have her/him sign for themselves. Thanks.

I have requested a formal meeting with members of the School Committee to discuss the logistics of maintaining a half-day track. The signatures gathered so far are now part of a briefing document I am preparing for that session.

PLEASE keep the half day. It was perfect for my oldest and I really want the same for my younger ones.

One size does not fit all. Let parents decide what is best for their own kids!

Flexibility is key. Not every child thrives in a full day environment. Keep the options open for those of us who need it.
