COVID Dashboard and Report Positive Case Form
Masks are recommended, but not required, in all KSD schools. If the building COVID-19 positivity rate reaches 1.5% at an individual school, students and staff will be required to wear masks at that school for at least two weeks. We will include daily updates on the number of cases for each school on our dashboard and notify families and staff if a change to masking status is needed. View the dashboard by visiting kirkwoodschools.org/coviddashboard
The primary role of the dashboard is to provide data specific to the potential for in-school transmission. One of the ways we can ensure the dashboard is as up-to-date as possible is quick and accurate reporting of any student that tests positive for COVID. Families can self report a positive case by using completing the Report a Positive Case form.
