We believe in your student. And their success.

The ESSDACK Restore program is designed specifically to assist Kansas middle and high school students who have been expelled or who are currently serving a long-term suspension.

We’re committed to a restorative program designed to ensure the completion of academic graduation requirements while also focusing on essential social and emotional skills.

Students entering the program have access to all of the advantages included in ESSDACK’s Learning Center program with added benefits specific to ESSDACK Restore:

  • Each Restore student is paired with a success mentor focused on academic success and degree completion

  • Restore students are purposefully guided through ESSDACK’s Restorative Social Emotional Character Development program and resources to strengthen personal skills

  • Together with caregivers, ESSDACK staff, and district administrators, Restore students develop an individual plan for re-entering school

  • Participation in the ESSDACK Restore program is free to the student.

  • Districts pay $500 per quarter per student.
