Spring Break
Summer School 2021
Please visit our Summer School website to learn more about our expanded summer options for students. A range of K-12 jobs will be posted later this week, and additional information about professional learning and curriculum work will be shared soon.
Student and staff wellbeing has been and will be central to our planning. Families will need time away this summer, and many will schedule vacations that have been on hold for months. We know this, and we appreciate this - just as we know and appreciate that many students have academic and social-emotional needs to be addressed. Our summer plans seek to balance the needs of students and staff, recognizing important work to be done while keeping wellness at the forefront of our thinking.

Student Feedback Request: Lessons from the 2020-21 School Year
Yesterday, students in 4-12 grade received an email and Schoology notification regarding a request to complete a student survey. We want to hear from our students and get their feedback about learning this year. We have a responsibility to learn from our experiences, successes, and failures. We’d appreciate your help in getting these completed by your student. Please encourage your child to fill out the survey and share their views on learning this year by visiting: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/KSDstudentsurvey
Students also can participate in interviews that will provide additional insights to inform our work.
We will be seeking feedback from parents and teachers in the next two months.
