COVID-19 INFORMATION FOR FAMILIES AND STUDENTS

Health Guidelines | Distance Learning | Free Internet | Meal Access | Reopening Plans

All KIPP Nashville students will begin Semester 2 in full virtual learning on January 5, and we will remain in virtual learning through at least February 1. We will continue to watch MNPS in the new year and look to their guidance around potential reopening. While we are in distance learning, we will continue to do what it takes to be able to reopen safely and welcome students back into our buildings again.

We recognize this is an incredibly difficult situation for families. In order to help meet childcare needs, we are once again partnering with the YMCA to offer childcare centers at our Ewing Park and Antioch locations. While school is operating remotely, free childcare for essential workers is available for children ages 5-12 and you can apply here. These childcare centers are run through the YMCA and will begin operating on Monday, November 30. Please note these spots are first come first served.

For more information about reopening, click HERE to visit the “Reopening” section of our web site. We will also post up to date information on KIPP Nashville’s Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages.

We’re so thankful for the resilience and support our families and staff have shown through this pandemic and we look forward to getting through this together.

Does the work continue? Yes, in a new way.

This is a possibility, and we are waiting on guidance from the Tennessee Department of Education and Metro Nashville Public Schools. The state legislature passed a bill waiving the 180 instructional day requirement. We will update all our families as soon as we have more information.
The school will reach back out to you with a date/time for pickup of all remaining materials. Please do not attempt to stop by the school before that time.
Our team is working on a plan for continued remote learning should that be necessary. These plans would be communicated through school principals and leadership teams to families and students.
It is likely grades for the year will be based off of Q1, Q2 and Q3 and not include Q4 grades. We are waiting on guidance from the Tennessee Department of Education and Metro Nashville Public Schools.
We are currently waiting on guidance from the State Board and MNPS on promotion requirements. We are prioritizing working with our seniors at this time to ensure they have the credits they need to graduate on time.

Right now, online learning assignments are optional and not being graded. Teachers are still providing feedback to students on all turned in assignments. These assignments and feedback will help prevent learning loss during these weeks of closure.
The College Board has announced that all AP assessments will be taken at home. All Collegiate students should now have Chromebooks and will be able to take the exams online. You’ll also have the option to write your responses by hand and submit a photo. The College Board will support students through exam day with testing date options and free resources.

We are committed to providing services to students during this period. These services include regular check-ins with a learning specialist, small group lessons via Zoom, and providing differentiated assignments. Students should also be receiving Speech and Language, OT, and PT services through our provider, Project Play. If you have a student who receives any of these services and you have not heard from Project Play, please contact your child’s teacher.
All four KIPP Nashville campuses are distributing free breakfast and lunch meals during weekdays. Please see the “food resources” section of this web page for specific dates and pickup times.
