Join Us for Community Connections Roundtable Meetings

Join district leaders for a Community Connections Roundtable Meeting. These connection opportunities provide a space to gather, partner, and build upon our strong foundation. Each meeting will focus on a specific topic. Bring your perspective to the table - when we connect and work together, we can turn great ideas into meaningful change.

More about our first Community Connection Roundtable Meeting: Intentional Technology

Technology is a powerful tool for learning, but finding the right balance for our kids is a shared challenge. Your feedback can help shape healthy, intentional technology boundaries for our students.

Wednesday, September 30
6-8 pm
Robinson Elementary Cafeteria

Please complete a quick RSVP so we can plan groups, materials, and a welcoming experience for everyone by September 25 at www.kirkwoodschools.org/technologyconnections

Other upcoming meeting dates and topics include:

October 21: Portrait of a Learner

January 27: Shaping Our Spaces

Continuation of Extreme Heat

As we continue to navigate the heat, we’re keeping student safety at the forefront. Outdoor time is an important part of the school day, but recess, PE and other outdoor activities may be modified based on the heat index:

Below 95°: No restrictions.
95–99°: Outdoor time limited to 10 minutes.
100°+: No scheduled outdoor activities.

At the high school, athletic trainers monitor conditions throughout the day, and coaches will communicate any schedule or location changes to teams in accordance with MSHSAA safety guidelines.

Thank you for partnering with us to keep students safe. Learn more about KSD’s extreme heat protocols.

A Reminder: KSD N.O.W. Registration Is Open

Only one form is needed per family. Please include information for each school-aged child who will participate. All information and inquiries are kept confidential.
