Student Safety
Masks Recommended not Required on Bus
The CDC recently removed its requirement that individuals wear masks on buses or vans operated by public or private school systems. As a result, masks will no longer be required on KSD school buses. This practice will mirror the mask-recommended, but not required setting we have in effect in our schools.
For more on the protocols in place in our schools, click here or visit our website at https://www.kirkwoodschools.org/bts

Reporting Postive Covid Cases
Per our commitment to transparency throughout the pandemic, the KSD COVID Dashboard will continue to provide information about positive cases in the District. 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 the form below:
Thank you for your assistance in ensuring our data is as current as possible.
Additionally, St. Louis County provides a map by zip code and school district to track community cases. It's available at: https://data.stlouisco.com/apps/covid-19-cases-by-zip-code-in-stl-county/explore
