School Board Decision
The KCKPS Board of Education approved a recommendation by the administration to postpone the return to in-person instruction until April 5th. The decision was made during the regular school board meeting on Tuesday, December 1st.
The decision to postpone in-person instruction was driven by the recent increase in positive COVID-19 rates in Wyandotte County. Presented with three options, the board voted to change their earlier decision to a phased in hybrid learning model with students returning on January 19th. Tuesday’s night vote means the district will now be following the Option A Plan.

Technology Solutions
As we move further into our 2020-21 school year, we are excited to continue growing with the new remote-learning system. Every day we learn about new triumphs and new struggles, and through it all we know that we’re all in this together.
Whether in the classroom or in our homes, adjusting to the new technology can be a bit tricky. We’ve compiled a collection of simple, step-by-step problem solving strategies to help maneuver through some of the most common technological issues you might face. Before calling in to the school, give a look through these troubleshooting ideas, and give a few a try.
