Yes. Your student is still part of their elementary school. Services such as the library and Grab & Go meals will continue to be provided. Dr. Limpert and her team will communicate details in the upcoming week.

Yes. Dr. Stefanie Limpert. She is currently the assistant principal at Westchester Elementary School. She has been appointed as the administrator for the Kirkwood K-5 at Home Learning program. She will be the parents' point person for questions regarding online learning. Dr. Limpert has 24 years of experience in education and has been a school leader in the Kirkwood School District for seven years most recently as the assistant principal of Westchester Elementary School. Dr. Limpert is a responsive and compassionate leader and I am fully confident in her ability to lead the Kirkwood K-5 at Home Learning program while partnering with the elementary principals and staff to maintain the vital connection to our students' "home" schools. 

Dr. Limpert will work with teachers to determine if any supplies are needed. We do not anticipate additional supplies being needed for the first week of school.
