Dear KASD Families, 

Kimberly Area School District will be closing as of 5:00 p.m. today, Monday, March 16, 2020. The Outagamie County Public Health (OCPH) and Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) has confirmed the first case of COVID-19 in Outagamie County. Although the Kimberly Area School District does not have a confirmed case of COVID-19 in our schools it is in the best interest of students, staff and the community to close today. 

Please see below for our learning plan during the closure. You will also be receiving this information directly from your school. If you have any additional questions, please contact your school directly. We care about your child, your family, and our community. During this closure, we are here to help support you.

These decisions have not been made lightly but in the best interest of the safety of our students and staff. We appreciate your support and patience during these unusual circumstances.

Sincerely, 

Robert S. Mayfield, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools

District Learning Plan

As you know the district is closing due to the novel coronavirus. We know that many of you are asking, “What does this mean for my child and learning?” We care about your child, your family, and our community. During this closure we are here to help support you through online learning. Please see below for our learning plan per grade level:

4K - Grade 1
Starting Monday, March 23, 2020, each day your homeroom teacher will email you a list of activities to help keep your child learning. These activities will be both pencil and paper as well as online. They will be from all content areas. We will keep the learning expectations very reasonable. We know that many of you are working and have multiple children. If you do not have a device (i.e. a computer), the district is working on getting one for you. The district is also working on a way to get supplies and books to you during the closure.  If your child receives special education services, your child's case manager will connect with you individually with the plan for services during the school closure. Please continue to read your email daily and check Infinite Campus for updates. Please stay healthy, and follow the advice of our local health department. Together we can make it through this!

Grade 2 - Grade 4
Starting Monday, March 23, 2020, teachers will be communicating with your child through Google classroom. During the day today, we worked with your child on how to access this online platform. Google classroom is accessed through your child’s school email account. Please make sure you know how to log into this email (your child will need to give you their login and password). This will help you stay on top of what is being asked of your child during our closure. The learning expectations during this time will be very reasonable. We know that many of you are working and have multiple children. If you do not have a device (i.e. a computer), the district is working on getting one for you. The district is also working on a way to help children regularly get books.  The district is also working on a plan to provide technology support for students and parents. If your child receives special education services, your child's case manager will connect with you individually with the plan for services during the school closure.
