COVID-19 INFORMATION FOR FAMILIES

KIPP Nashville will begin phasing students back into in-person learning. We will be welcoming back students in-person who chose that option in the Semester 2 family preference survey. 

Phase-in plan:

• Feb. 23 (Tuesday):  K – 1
• Feb. 25 (Thursday):  2 – 4
• March 1 (Monday):  5 and 9
• March 2 (Tuesday):  High school ACT testing
• March 22 (Monday):  6 – 8 and 10 – 12 

Students who did not choose in-person learning will continue with virtual learning. We are committed to providing the same level of high-quality instruction to our online learners as we have been over these last months.

When we reopen, we will continue to operate with stringent safety protocols in place, protocols that allowed us to safely operate last November when some of our students returned to school buildings. 

Schools will share specific details about schedules, along with reminders about the safety protocols and what to expect on your student’s first day back inside the building.

See the “Family Communications and Updates” section just below for more updates and be sure to follow KIPP Nashville’s Facebook and Instagram pages for ongoing updates.

Meal Access

Thanks to updated federal guidelines, all breakfast and lunch meals will now be offered at no cost to all families. This means that all children ages 18 or younger, regardless of their free/reduced/paid eligibility status is, may receive FREE meals from any KIPP Nashville or MNPS meal pick-up location. Parents/guardians may pick up meals without their children being present.

Starting Monday, November 30, the meal pick-up schedule at our campuses will be as follows:

• KIPP Kirkpatrick Elementary (1000 Sevier St., 37206) |  Wednesday, 12 pm – 1:30 pm
• Ewing Park Campus (3410 Knight Dr., 37207) | Thursday, 12 pm – 1:30 pm
• KIPP Antioch Campus (3655 Murfreesboro Pike, 37013) | Thursday, 12 pm – 1:30 pm
• Highland Heights Campus (123 Douglas Ave., 37207) | Monday, Wednesday and Friday | 11:30 am – 1 pm

For each campus, bus routes will take place on the same days of the week as the on-campus pickups. Click here to see a list of bus stop locations and times.

Please note: any child 18 or younger may receive meals from any MNPS bus stop or school three days a week. Information about MNPS’s schedule and bus stops can be found here: mnps.org/nutrition
