    The Kirkwood School District is using a mastery-based report this year to provide families with feedback about K-5 student learning. This replaces the 1-2-3-4 rubric used in recent years for report cards. As mentioned in October, we will use this process for the entire school year, regardless of the instructional model in place.

    Snow Days will remain the same for the 2020-2021 school year. Specifically, suppose KSD cancels in-person learning due to inclement weather. In that case, we will follow the current school calendar, and the cancellation will be a traditional snow day for in-person and at-home or virtual students.

    To keep our schools open, it will require all of us working together and taking the necessary precautions. Please continue to be diligent about following safety protocols, including mask-wearing, physical distancing and staying home when sick.
