March 27, 2020

Dear KCSD Families and Community,

Please select this link for a video message.

I hope you are all doing well.  We wanted to provide you with some updated information regarding meal distributions.  In an effort to serve more meals and reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19, beginning Monday, March 30, 2020 meals will only be distributed only on Mondays and Thursdays.  Children will receive 7 breakfast meals and 7 lunch meals per week.  Lunch and breakfast for multiple days will be served to families and caregivers by drive through/walk-up pick up from 11:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. at the following locations:

Central Mountain Middle School – front entrance by cafeteria

Liberty Curtin Elementary – front entrance

Renovo Elementary –  front entrance

Robb Elementary – front entrance

Woodward Elementary – student drop off, side door

We are continuing to refine the KCSD Continuity of Education Plan.  Please check the district website, Class Dojo (K-5) or Schoology (6-12) for information from your teachers and principals.  We are very fortunate as a district to have the technology and programs to be able to provide quality learning options for our students as we move into Phase 2 next week.

With respect to the health and safety of our community during this crisis, please refrain from gathering in groups, even if they’re small, to limit the spread of coronavirus. We are abiding by the CDC’s direction on social distancing, and we ask that you and your children do the same.  Enjoy your weekend!
