Dear School Community,

The Kennett Consolidated School District is beginning to collect feedback from all school stakeholders (parents, students, and staff) regarding the possibility of implementing a later school start time for the high school and middle school. If you are a student, parent, or staff member and have not yet completed the interest survey, please click below to do so.

For more information on the subject, please see the two attached comprehensive studies, Sleep Deprivation In Adolescents: The Case For Delaying Secondary School Start Times, conducted by the Join State Government Commission and High School Students and School Start Times published by the Hanover Research Organization. I also link to a Ted Talk from Dr. Wendy Troxel, a licensed clinical psychologist and certified behavioral sleep medicine specialist, on the importance of sleep for adolescents. We are inviting Dr. Troxel to speak here at Kennett and will keep you apprised of that date. We appreciate your interest and participation as we move forward to make decisions that best serve our students and District as a whole.

Querida comunidad escolar,

El Distrito Escolar Consolidado de Kennett está comenzando a recopilar comentarios de todas las partes interesadas de la escuela (padres, estudiantes y personal) con respecto a la posibilidad de implementar un horario de inicio escolar más tarde para la escuela secundaria y la escuela intermedia. Si es estudiante, padre o miembro del personal y aún no ha completado la encuesta de interés, haga clic en el sitio web de abajo para tomar la encuesta.

Para obtener más información sobre el tema consulte los dos estudios integrales adjuntos; la privación del sueño en adolescentes y La Causa para Retrasar los horarios de inicio de la escuela secundaria, realizado por la Comisión de Gobierno del Estado y los Estudiantes de secundaria y Los horarios de inicio de la escuela, publicados por la Organización de Investigación de Hannover. También enlace a una charla con Ted por parte de la Dra. Wendy Troxel psicóloga clínica con licencia y especialista certificada en medicina conductual del sueño. Hemos invitado al Dra. Troxel para que hable aqui en Kennett sobre la importancia del sueño para los adolescentes. Lo mantendremos informado sobre la fecha. Apreciamos su interés y participación a medida que estemos avanzamos para tomar decisiones que sirvan mejor a nuestros estudiantes y al Distrito en general.
