As our community faces unprecedented fear and uncertainty, the Fayette County Public Schools understand that we are stronger together. We are committed to providing all students with a variety of support services to ensure that all students are healthy and secure and ready to learn.

We are a Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (P.B.I.S) school district dedicated to providing our students with evidence-based prevention and intervention practices along a multi-tiered continuum that supports the academic, social, emotional, and behavioral supports of all students. We provide a student assistance-based program (C.A.R.E - Child At Risk in Education), that is a dedicated and committed system of reaching out to students who are having difficulties with relationships, stress, grades, substance abuse, and finances.

We have a team of professionals to support our students. Our School Counselors are uniquely qualified to provide education, prevention, intervention, and referral services to students and their families. Although school counselors do not provide long-term mental health therapy in schools, they provide a comprehensive school counseling program designed to meet the developmental needs of all students. As a component of this program, school counselors collaborate with other educational professionals and community service providers.

Our School Social Workers have special expertise in understanding family and community systems and linking students and their families with the community services that are essential for promoting student success.

Our School Nurses facilitate positive student responses to normal development; promote health and safety; intervene with actual and potential health problems; provide case management services; and actively collaborate with others to build student and family capacity for adaptation, self-management, self-advocacy, and learning.

Our School Psychologists are uniquely qualified members of school teams that support students' ability to learn and teachers' ability to teach. They apply expertise in mental health, learning, and behavior; to help children and youth succeed academically, socially, behaviorally, and emotionally. Our school psychologists partner with families, teachers, school administrators, and other professionals to create safe, healthy, and supportive learning environments that strengthen connections between home, school, and the community.

As our students have continued their learning remotely, our schools have been sharing important resources with students and parents and providing services virtually. Below is additional information that you can reference throughout the summer.
