Student Services

Guidance Services

Students must learn to deal with pressure and stress in a positive, healthy way. Kettering City School District guidance counselors aim to help children realize their full potential and thrive in the 21st century. Counselors structure programs, which help with social, physical, emotional and mental growth. The counseling staff works with teachers and parents to identify potential problems at an early stage in the child's development. You can contact your child's school counselor by calling their main or unit office. 

Health Services

Health Services are available to each child through registered nurses assigned to specific schools. Vision and hearing screenings are conducted on students in grades K-10. Health Services works to promote good health for all students and helps in identifying student health problems. Help is available by calling your child's school office.

Home Instruction Services

When a student is prevented from attending school for a period of time, the school district will provide home instruction so that the student can keep up with his/her studies. To qualify for home instruction, a student must have a statement from his/her physician. To arrange for home instruction, contact your child's building principal.
