Transparency Report
Kenowa Hills Public School values, supports, and empowers all learners to achieve their full potential. KHPS is committed to eliminating race, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and disability or socioeconomic status as predictors for academic outcomes. Equity as an outcome would be the state achieved if a student's success toward the district’s Graduate Profile and well-being was no longer predictable by any social, cultural, or economic factors.
Kenowa Hills Public Schools will provide meaningful learning experiences for every student, every day. Equity as an action in schools involves individuals who are willing to:
Equity and Inclusion cannot be separated from Mental Health. As we begin to build sustainable programs, we have to foster both ideas for our students, staff, and community to be prosperous and healthy. Mental Health is about feeling connected; it includes our social, emotional, and psychological well-being. Having an environment where you can thrive by being your true self is the foundation for success.
Our need to feel a sense of belonging and acceptance is vital to who we are. The effects on equitable and inclusive environments are what have a profound impact on our mental health. Think of the settings you spend most of your time in. Now think of what is most important to you in those environments. Our students spend a large part of their time in educational institutions. It is more important now than ever to provide them with a process that helps them be successful when they leave us.
At Kenowa Hills Public Schools, we value our diversity and work to serve the needs of students whose primary language is something other than English. The EL (English Learner) program at Kenowa Hills Public Schools provides a variety of supplemental supports to our EL students using general fund dollars as well as funds provided from Title III, IC, Section 41 and 31a grants.

Around 12% of Kenowa Hills district children live at or below the poverty level.
A number of students in the district are in transitional housing due to economic reasons (living in a shelter, hotel/motel, or doubled up with another family), and they may qualify for assistance with their educational needs including school supplies, transportation and food service (free lunch and breakfast).
This fall, meals are no longer free for all students and income requirements for free and reduced lunch have recently changed. Families should complete and submit a Meal Benefits application to ensure that additional funding for our school is available to meet the needs of our students.

Personal Mastery provides your child with personalized attention from teachers. Instead of teaching to a broad group of students without an understanding of their individual strengths and weaknesses, Personal Mastery allows teachers to interact with students individually or in small groups to help them better address their weaknesses. In this way, we strive to help your child reach their full potential.
