New Kent County Public Schools wants to ensure families have information about Virginia Emergency Nutrition Assistance (VENA), a new state-funded program providing weekly food benefits to SNAP recipients during the federal government shutdown. Benefits will be distributed on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays throughout November. NKCPS families experiencing food insecurity are encouraged to contact their child’s school social worker or the NKCPS Office of Student Services for support.
New Kent County Public Schools now offers the Connect Parent Portal for Virginia IEP, giving parents and guardianns secure online access to their child’s special education documents. Through this portal, families can view IEPs, progress reports, and evaluations, as well as sign and respond electronically. Notifications will come from noreply@pcgus.com with a secure link and access code for login. For details and instructions, review NKCPS Director of Student Services Dr. Christine Young’s letter and the Parent Guide or contact your child’s case manager for assistance.
