I am currently gathering feedback from other families to build a formal proposal presentation for Dr. Alvarez. Post this link on your neighborhood Facebook groups today to keep our momentum visible. Please email your district representative now and insist they keep Thursday schedules shortened.

The momentum behind this request proves that families are ready for a change in the district schedule. Take this link and text it to three other parents who want Thursday kept as a short day. Tell your representative on the school board that we expect a vote on this option at the next session.

I attended kindergarten here in Rye and I believe that the schedule as is now and was for me back then is perfect. It is a nice transition schedule from nursery school into elementary school.
As I look back on my time with my children during Kindergarten I loved the time I had with them on their short days. Friends from Harrison whose children were in 5 long days would complain their children were bored in school and exhausted when they came home. 5 year olds need time to rejuvenate and play. Please spend the money on other areas - such as getting class size below 30 in the high school.
Rye might be the only school district not to have full day kindergarten but maybe that is why it makes it special. That is one of the thing I liked when we moved to Rye.
Although the idea of full-day kindergarten appeals to my need for more time in my day, I believe my child's (and possibly his teacher's) needs and interests are better served by preserving the current schedule. Thank you for starting this petition!
As a Pediatric Occupational Therapist, I feel that partial days are developmentally appropriate.
In favor of three or four full days.
4 days would be the optimum compromise.

Would love to see full day implemented but in a hybrid solution, 3-4 days a week.
