School Closures / Shifts in Learning Model
If a school is closed or changes instructional model families at affected schools will receive an email and/or phone voice message from the school, and may also receive a printed letter from the school sent home with elementary students at the end of the school day. Once the message is shared with families it will be posted to the school website, the KSD website, COVID Dashboard School Status Update here, and school social media channel if they have one.
All KSD schools not listed on this page are learning in-person, on normal bell schedules.
Our priority is to keep schools open as long as we can provide staff to operate in-person learning safely. We will continue to follow public health guidance, track positive cases, close classrooms working with Public Health, and minimize the spread of COVID in our schools by following strict COVID safety protocols while supporting student learning and well-being. Students benefit from in-person learning. We all play a part in learning at school safely and staying healthy all year, together, we can keep our students and staff in schools safely by continuing to minimize transmission in our schools and community.
