Kenwood is a neighborhood school with a long history in the area. The original Kenwood School was a one room building that stood next to the present day Kenwood Baptist church. The school was in operation from 1908 until 1945 when students were transferred to Ringgold Elementary. Our present building was opened in the fall of 1993 and students rezoned from Byrns Darden, Ringgold, and Minglewood Elementary schools and became the new students of Kenwood Elementary School. Today, Kenwood has progressed a long way from its beginning as a one room schoolhouse. There are two reading classrooms, a Reading Lab, Computer Lab, Music classroom, Art classroom, Gymnasium, Cafeteria, Speech and Language classroom, resource Labs, Guidance classroom, and Media Center. There are two Administrative offices and Nurses station housed within the main office. The staff at Kenwood Elementary are dedicated and committed to providing each child with a safe, secure, and positive learning environment in which everyone can be successful academically. Our goal is to focus on meeting individual needs and target the areas of Reading and Math.
Montgomery County Schools Coronavirus Information
Due to the ever-changing circumstances and evolving research and guidance regarding COVID-19, the district will be prepared for a continuum of options for schooling: traditional (in-person) classes, remote instructional delivery, and hybrid approaches. These plans will ensure that the district is prepared to continue providing a high-quality education for all students no matter the circumstances.
The level of community spread and the district’s ability to adhere to laws, policies, and guidelines will guide the district’s decision-making relative to school reopening and any changes that could occur throughout the school year.
An essential consideration as CMCSS develops reopening plans is to provide parents/guardians and students with personal options. In addition to the three models of instructional delivery on the continuum, a virtual learning option will be available to all CMCSS families. Parents/guardians will have the option to enroll their K-12 child in a virtual school taught by CMCSS teachers provided at no cost to families.
More information on the Virtual Learning option will be available soon.
The Continuum of Options:
Traditional:
Traditional, in person classes for 100% of students with health, safety, and operational changes to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
Hybrid:
Modifications to the traditional 5-day school week to reduce class sizes, transportation, and building capacities by 50% to allow for better social distancing.
Remote:
A plan for the entire district or individual schools to have all students learning remotely if needed.
Virtual:
CMCSS will be providing a K-12 virtual school option led by a CMCSS administrator and taught by CMCSS teachers at no cost to parents/guardians.
