To protect the health and safety of our students, staff, and families while ensuring a high-quality and equitable education for all students, the Kauffman School will implement a 100% virtual model in Fall 2020.

While the COVID-19 pandemic has created uncertainty and has required tremendous flexibility, one thing has remained constant: The Kauffman School's mission to "Create College Graduates." We are confident that any changes that we need to make due to COVID-19 will have short-term impacts, and we are confident we can provide students a quality education in 2020-2021 that will not interfere with this long-term goal. We are proud that 90% of Kauffman families indicated they share this perspective, and have said they would enroll their child at the Kauffman School regardless of whether we were in-person or virtual in Fall 2020.

As we look to Fall 2020, the Kauffman School commits to the following:

-Repeating the procedure of providing 100% of Kauffman School students with a Chromebook and supporting families to secure home Internet access if they do not already have it.
-Offering training opportunities for students and families to ensure students and families have the skills they need to fully access the virtual learning model.  
-Improving our technology help desk procedures to ensure students and families can access in-the-moment support to address any technology challenges.
-Improving our attendance tracking and family communication procedures around attendance.
-Identifying opportunities for students to engage socially with their peers as well as opportunities to recognize, celebrate, and incentivize student success.
-Exploring opportunities to safely continue athletics and extracurricular activities even while school is virtual.
-Communicate frequently as we get closer to the first day of virtual school.
-Constantly monitor and evaluate conditions that might warrant a shift back to in-person school.
