KCSD Staff and Community,
Our level of community spread continues to loom in the substantial range according to the PA Department of Health database. Local sources are reporting a higher rate of positive cases in younger adults and teens. Currently within KCSD there is only one active case of Covid-19 among our staff and seven among our students across three different schools. I want to commend our staff and students for their vigilance in following the safety guidelines and keeping pandemic contacts to a minimum. Keep up your efforts in following the safety guidelines to assist us in keeping our schools open.
Please be sure to report any known cases to the appropriate building principal and follow the social distancing guidelines. Keep your child home if they may have been exposed to anyone with Covid-19, or if they exhibit any of the Covid-19 symptoms.
