Jefferson School District 251 to offer full day kindergarten

RIGBY, Idaho (KIFI) - At the April 13 board meeting, the Jefferson School District 251 Board of Trustees voted unanimously to approve the district’s Literacy Intervention Program.

The Literacy Intervention Program includes offering full-day kindergarten at all six of the elementary schools in the district.

Parents may still have their student only attend for a half-day upon request.

"As a district we are grateful for the additional literacy funding from the state level," Superintendent Chad Martin said. "Providing all-day kindergarten and reading interventions are an important part of setting a great foundation for learning."
