Why is Full Day K a pressing need?
Why is Full Day K a pressing need?
We have fallen behind the rest of New Hampshire and the Country in terms of providing Full Day Kindergarten as an option to families.
On I-Ready testing, our local assessment choice for grades 1 to 8; our 1st grade students are consistently behind NH and National outcomes. This is the only grade level we fall behind state and national outcomes. We need more time to build a stronger academic and social foundation for our students in 1st grade and beyond.

Over the Summer and Fall of 2022, after the School District received their extensive report on the building needs within the system, the School Board mapped out a tentative timeline for addressing those needs over many decades. Housing K in each of the elementary schools is an update to that process to show the voters we have listened to the feedback around cost - designing a plan that allows us to give K students what they need and allows for more State revenue and capitalizes on space and staff we have.
