KSD Strategic Plan: A New Frontier - Survey Request Deadline is Tonight at Midnight
To fill out the survey online, visit kirkwoodschools.org/survey.
After feedback is gathered, the strategic plan committee will evaluate the data and delineate common topics over several weeks of focus group meetings. The new strategic plan will be presented to the KSD Board of Education in summer 2021.
St. Louis County COVID-19 Updates
St. Louis County Department of Public Health has released updated guidelines regarding quarantine requirements when students in K-12 have been exposed to COVID-19 in their classrooms. While these changes do not eliminate classroom quarantines entirely, they do offer additional criteria that may allow us to quarantine fewer students in some cases. In the event that there is a classroom exposure, details will be provided to you regarding quarantine requirements specific to your student’s classroom situation.
In the event your child has an exposure at school, your child's school will provide more detailed information.
As always, please feel free to reach out to your school nurse with any questions.
Annual Update - Please Complete if Your Child will Attend KSD Schools in 21-22. Deadline is Sunday, May 2
Now is the time for the primary contact for student(s) who are currently enrolled in the Kirkwood School District to complete the Annual Update for the 2021-22 school year. If your student is currently enrolled in KSD schools and you plan on your student attending KSD schools for the 2021-22 school year, this process needs to be completed by Sunday, May 2. To clarify, the “primary contact” is the parent/guardian whose address is used as the main address for the student. Only a parent/guardian who resides at the “primary contact” address is responsible for completing this process for each student.
The Annual Update process is completed in Infinite Campus. Infinite Campus refers to this process as “online registration” (please see screenshot below for complete instructions). Please note: this is an annual process, therefore referred to as the “annual update”.
If you are enrolling a new student to K-12 KSD schools, who currently DOES NOT attend a K-12 KSD school, you may add the new student to this Annual Update process while you are completing the annual update for another student.
The Annual Update process is necessary to ensure we have accurate important student information, such as addresses, phone numbers, emergency contacts, and medical needs. Whether your child is learning in person or at home, this information is very important. We are committed to your child's health and safety, but we need your help. Please take a moment to complete the Annual Update including medical information sections. This critical and confidential health information will enable us to provide the safest and most individualized care to our students. Together, we can help manage your child's chronic health conditions and help them stay safe and healthy at school.
This is information for the 21-22 school year and parents are required to complete it through Infinite Campus. Please note that if you have a change of address from last school year, you must upload new proofs of residency. You will not be able to progress beyond the first screen if you do not have the two proofs of residency available for submission.
