Launching a pre-K is vital to Annapolis families and creates access and opportunity for student learning for our youngest learners during this challenging time,\u201d said Rachel Amstutz, principal of Monarch Academy Annapolis. \u201cThe grants help us ensure our students continue to receive a strong education and essential social-emotional supports, while our teachers receive training and preparation for implementing distance learning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Prekindergarten Expansion Grant<\/strong>, awarded by the Maryland State Department of Education, funds 60 income-eligible seats for 4-year-old students. The program launched in September. Students may apply for available seats. The program will equip children with the foundational knowledge and skills necessary for success in kindergarten and beyond. Monarch Academy Annapolis offers an International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme, which challenges students to think critically and take responsibility for their learning as they explore local and global issues.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Governor\u2019s Emergency Education Relief Fund grant<\/strong> supports resources and activities benefiting students, families and educators at Monarch Academy Annapolis during distance learning. Funding allows the school to purchase supplies for students and additional tools and training for teachers and administrators, including staff attending a Harvard University course this summer on teaching and learning in a distance learning environment. It also supports projects promoting collaboration between teachers, school counselors, and families.<\/p>\n<p>Awarded by the Maryland State Department of Education, the grant channels federal CARES Act funds to schools \u201cthat demonstrate unique strategies to address academic accessibility as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Grant recipients have presented creative strategies to support disengaged students, students with disabilities, teachers, and families in need,\u201d according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/news.maryland.gov\/msde\/maryland-state-department-of-education-announces-additional-covid-19-relief-grants-for-maryland-schools-and-universities\/\">press release<\/a> from Gov.
