HEALTH & SAFETY The ongoing pandemic is affecting every member of the Kennedy Catholic community in some way and has necessitated an ongoing assessment of individual and community health and well-being. • Kennedy Catholic teachers, counselors and administrators will assess needs of students by reviewing all data sources including attendance, grades, and student engagement. • Parents and guardians are encouraged to reach out to teachers, counselors, and administrators when concerns about their students arise. • The Lancer Distance Learning Plan and the Lancer Hybrid Learning Plan have significantly increased demands on the faculty and staff of Kennedy Catholic. It is essential to assess the needs of faculty and staff wellness, technology, grading, communication, and professional development. • Kennedy Catholic will use asynchronous days to provide additional support for students.
MONITORING Monitor the ongoing needs and wellness of students paying special attention to at-risk students using a combined effort of counseling, academics, and Campus Life offices. Use absence tracking to support students in extended absences due to illness or COVID-19. Maintain virtual counseling appointments for off-campus students and continue in-person appointments for on-campus students. Regularly evaluate the wellness of the faculty and staff.
PROGRAMMING Schedule asynchronous days in order to provide time for wellness activities, community building, and student interaction. Expand roles of Link Crew with monthly check-ins built into the schedule. Create opportunities for students to interact outside of the classroom: retreat programming, virtual assemblies, and monitored athletics.
