Full Day Kindergarten in Wallingford With the implementation of the new Common Core Standards it is more important than ever to have children start with the best education possible. Most school districts in Connecticut have acknowledged that half day kindergarten is not enough, with 121 out of 169 providing full day Kindergarten. Thirty of these 121 Districts converted to full day for the 2012/2013 school year. Only 36 districts currently have half day Kindergarten, with the others having some sort of extended day. Of the remaining 36 districts, some have already decided to transition to full day for the 2013/2014 school year. Please join us in bringing this community concern to the School District by signing this petition.

I have been reviewing the latest correspondence from the school board regarding our proposal. While their formal position remains unchanged, the continued growth of this petition ensures that our request remains a prominent topic during their private deliberations.

The momentum behind this initiative continues to grow as more residents recognize the necessity of full day kindergarten for our students. This collective enthusiasm reinforces the urgency of our request to the district.

I really hope this happens before my daughter starts next year. They focus so much on tests now, they need more time in the classroom.

My oldest was so behind when he started 1st grade because half day didnt prepare him enough. Wallingford needs to get with the times.
