KENT COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS REOPENING PLAN

Kent County Public Schools is devoted to staying firmly anchored in excellence. We remain deeply committed to ensuring that every child receives a quality education that promotes equity, a rigorous and engaging curriculum, and offers a safe and nurturing learning environment. Careful consideration has been taken in developing the reopening plan for our district. The instructional models will depend on which Phase of Reopening is permitted. Each model has been thoroughly reviewed and has included input from stakeholder groups and then reviewed by taskforce groups to ensure the following:

Promoting the safety, welfare, and health of students, employees, and families.
Mitigate educational inequities by creating structures and supports that respond to challenges faced by various populations as informed by data
Providing high-quality teaching and learning to all students.
Prioritizing the social-emotional well-being of students and staff.

Student Services

The Student Service Department provides comprehensive services for all students. We are committed to enhancing student achievement in all areas of the school setting.

The Student Services Department is responsible for implementing programs and initiatives to facilitate the emotional, mental, social, and physical health of all students. These programs and initiatives include, but are not limited to, school counseling, career development, school health services, safe and drug-free schools, dropout prevention, alternative programs, home/hospital instruction, discipline, multicultural education, out-of-zone school placement, student registration, attendance, home schooling, student records, Positive Behavior Intervention (PBIS), 504 plan development, Maryland Student Assistance Program (MSAP), and the education of homeless students.

The research is clear that there is an inextricable link between children's social, emotional, mental and physical health and their ability to learn. The focus of the Student Services Department is to address these issues through prevention and intervention strategies, and programs to help students overcome challenges to learning and to achieve to high academic levels. Through many of its programs, the department assists in the creation of safe and nurturing school environments that are conducive to learning.
