As the buget process proceeds over the next several months, I feel that it is imperative to keep class size a priority. My child attends Daniels Farm Elementary school and is currently in first grade. There are presently five sections of grade 1 at our school. It is my fervent hope that our children are not forced into four sections of second grade. This decision will impact their education throughout their elementary years. As you know, there is plentiful research as to the benefits of small class sizes. Please keep our children in mind when you are allocating funds for the upcoming school year and retain 5 sections of Grade 2 at Daniels Farm Elementary.

im still waiting to hear back from the district office about the budget outlook. honestly the silence is getting pretty frustrating but i am making sure they know we are paying attention.

im honestly amazed at how many people feel the same way about our kids classrooms. seeing this momentum build up is showing the board that we really arent going to just sit back and watch them cut sections.

LISTEN TO THE PARENTS. we need our kids to actually learn not just get shoved into a crowded room.

5 sections is the only way to go. these kids need individual attention or they will fall behind.

My son is in first grade right now and he is already struggling. Bigger classes are going to be a disaster for these kids.

Please dont do this to the second graders. they are too young for overcrowded classrooms.
