Does the district have any plans to offer a pre-kindergarten program?
There are no plans to start a pre-kindergarten program at this time. The idea was explored by a committee in the fall of 2007. They examined the possibility of starting a program in-house or with a community partner, and determined that the district did not have enough space or funding to run an in-house program. The state does not currently provide any specific funding for such a program. Additionally, when state funding (full-day conversion aid and a start-up grant) became available for a full-day kindergarten program, this became the district's first priority.

I was told that the kindergarten class was now full
day. I was also told that it was only a temporary thing for a year to
see how it goes. Is this true and will it continue to be a full day. I
have a child who will start kindergarten next year (2010) and am going
to enroll him in preschool but wasn't sure if I should do 2.5 hours or
4.5 hours day to help him transition.
The district began offering a full-day kindergarten program during the 2008-09 school year. There are no plans to change the existing program.
