COVID-19 INFORMATION FOR FAMILIES AND STUDENTS
Health Guidelines | Distance Learning | Free Internet | Meal Access | FAQ
IMPORTANT: All KIPP Nashville schools are closed through the remainder of the school year. Updates will be sent to families via text/phone/emails and posted here. We will also post up to date information on KIPP Nashville’s Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages.
The well-being of KIPP students and staff is our top priority. In order to do our part in preventing the spread of COVID-19 (“coronavirus”), all KIPP Nashville schools will be closed through the remainder of the school year. We understand closing schools will have a tremendous impact on everyone’s lives, but we need to do what is best for the health and safety of our students and staff.
As we enter the coming weeks without traditional school, we are asking you to partner with us to continue supporting the academic growth and development of your student, while simultaneously preventing as much learning loss as possible. Please see the “Distance Learning” section of this web page for grade level instructions.

Please refer to the below course schedule to review which classes will post new content on each day of the week.

Meal Access
Starting Monday, June 1, we will no longer be offering to-go meal pickups at our Ewing Park campus. We will continue to offer free, to-go breakfast and lunch meal pickups at our other three campuses through Friday, June 26. Please check the schedule below for specific dates and times for each location. Here is the schedule:
- KIPP Kirkpatrick Elementary School (1000 Sevier St., 37206) | Monday and Thursday from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m.
- KIPP Antioch Campus (3655 Murfreesboro Pike, 37013) | Wednesday from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m.
- KIPP Highland Heights Campus (123 Douglas Ave., 37207) | Tuesday and Friday from 9 a.m. – 11 a.m.
At each distribution, we are providing grab-and-go, pre-packaged meals available for drive-through pickup, with the exception of KIPP Kirkpatrick, where pickup is available by walking up to the school.
- Each package will contain 3 days’ worth of meals, with a separate bag for each day containing both breakfast and lunch. Each package will contain 3 breakfasts and 3 lunches.
- A limited quantity of meals will be available at each distribution. Once all meals have been distributed, we will not have the ability to provide more meals that day.
Parents and guardians may now pick up these meals for their children – children do not need to be present. This new rule is in effect until June 30, or until the federal public health emergency expires, whichever happens first. We will continue to update this site with new information.
Other Options
Starting Monday, March 23, Metro Schools will be offering free breakfast and lunch meals to children in Nashville at locations throughout Davidson County on weekdays. Meals will be available for drive-through pickup to parents and guardians – children do not need to be present to collect the meals. Breakfast and lunch will be available for pickup from 10 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.
Second Harvest Food Bank will be operating out of additional community-based sites, and those in need should call 615-329-3491 or 2-1-1 for more information.
