School learned about their school’s
designation as a 2018 U.S. Department of
Education Green Ribbon School on May

PREPARING FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR
NEW STUDENT ENROLLMENT: All students new to the Kirkwood School
District enroll at their individual schools. If you do not know which school
your child will attend, please call the Office of Student Services at 314-213-
6105.
New students will be asked to furnish the following items at the time of
enrollment: an official copy of birth certificate, social security number, a
completed physical examination form with immunization record, and two
documents showing proof of residency in the school district. Proof of
residency documents include utility bill, real estate deed, lease agreement,
and personal property tax receipt.
IMMUNIZATION: Missouri legislation requires every student to have
documented evidence of immunizations meeting all state requirements on
file at their school. No student will be allowed to begin school on August 15
unless all immunizations are up-to-date and documented. Parents who have
questions concerning immunization requirements may call the Office of
Student Services, 314-213-6105.
BUS TRANSPORTATION: To be eligible for free bus transportation to
and from school, a student must live one mile or more from an elementary
school, one and one-half miles or more from middle school, or two miles or
more from the high school. Students who do not qualify for free
transportation may purchase a pass for $520 for the school year if space is
available on an existing route. Students who qualify for the free or reduced
priced meals may purchase a bus pass at the rate of $135 a year.
First Student, Inc., 544 Clark in Kirkwood, has computerized all bus
routes for eligible students living in the Kirkwood School District. Information
regarding bus transportation was mailed directly to students’ homes in
August. If you did not receive transportation information, or have questions,
please call First Student at 314-965-6130, or the Office of Student Services,
314-213-6105.

questions regarding transportation from the city of St. Louis.
SCHOOL LUNCH & BREAKFAST PROGRAM: The district’s school lunch
and breakfast program provides students with well-balanced meals that
meet state and federal guidelines. Prices are kept as reasonable as possible.
For the 2018-19 school year, the High School will offer two enhanced lunch
options as well as the regular base lunch. Menu enhancement examples
include: whole white muscle chicken patties (breaded and spicy), grilled
chicken, specialty pasta and Italian selections, and increased variety of
seasonal fresh fruit and vegetables.
Breakfast Prices for 2018-19: Lunch Prices for 2018-19:
Students: $2.20 Elementary Students: $2.95

Lunch and Breakfast programs of the federal government for a reduced-
price meal program. All children in district schools are given an application
in the fall. Additional applications can be printed from the District website
or are available in all principals’ offices. Applications should be filled out by
families who would like to try to qualify for the program. Letters from the
District will then be sent out informing the families of their application

during the school year if an eligible family experiences an increase in family
size or reduction in income.

applies to programs that receive funding from the U.S. Department of Education (ED).
PPRA is intended to protect the rights of parents and students in two ways:
• It seeks to ensure that schools and contractors make instructional materials available
for inspection by parents if those materials will be used in connection with an MINOR RESPIRATORY SKIN PHYSICALS
ED-funded survey, analysis, or evaluation in which their children participate; and INJURIES ILLNESSES CONDITIONS & WELLNESS
• It seeks to ensure that schools and contractors obtain written parental consent before
minor students are required to participate in any ED-funded survey, analysis, or
evaluation that reveals information concerning:
1. Political affiliations;
2. Mental and psychological problems potentially embarrassing to the student and his/ Woodbine Center

SPECIAL EDUCATION PARENT ADVISORY COUNCIL

The Kirkwood Special Education Parent Advisory Council (PAC) was developed to
provide professional and supportive connections among parents and school staff who
share an interest in promoting the education of children with disabilities. Each school has
several parents who represent their school on the district-level PAC. These parents also
work with their schools to support families of students with special needs. Kirkwood’s
district-level PAC meets several times each year to share information and seek input from
parents on district planning for special education and related supports for students.
These meetings are open to everyone.

VOLUNTEER & COMMUNITY MENTOR PROGRAMS

Kirkwood School District parents and community volunteers have long contributed
to making Kirkwood schools the best learning environments for children by donating
their time and talents in a variety of ways.
In addition to the committed volunteers from each school’s PTO, other adults impact
students’ lives through mentor/role model programs. Kirkwood Community Mentors
seeks adults who will serve as role models to students at all grade levels. For more
information, please contact Kim Grega at 314-213-6100, ext. 8043.
The OASIS tutoring program trains older adults to serve as language arts tutors in
Kirkwood elementary schools. OASIS training sessions for new tutors occur annually at
the beginning of each school year, with monthly sharing and training sessions occurring
as well. To learn more about OASIS volunteer opportunities, please call the Learning &
Innovation Department at 314-213-6104.

SCHOOL HISTORY
Kirkwood High School (KHS) has a
long, rich history that dates back to
the founding of the Kirkwood School
District in 1865. High school and
elementary students attended school
together in a temporary building,
which opened in the fall of 1866, and
later in the Jefferson Avenue school,
the District’s first formal school built in
1869. African-American students
attended the Booker T. Washington
School, which opened in 1869 on
Adams near Geyer Road. In 1888, the
district built the Adams Avenue
School next to the Jefferson School
and offered a two-year high school
program for students completing the
elementary grades. In 1896, Kirkwood
offered the first four-year high school
program in St. Louis County; 10
students were members of the first
graduating class in the spring of 1897.
In 1922, a new high school was built on
Kirkwood Road, the site of Nipher
Middle School today.
The present Kirkwood High School
on Essex Ave. was built in 1955 on a
43-acre campus. Both white and
African-American students were
enrolled to attend high school together
for the first time. The present day
campus includes the Thomas N.
Keating Performance Center, the Earl
and Myrtle Walker Science Center, a
physical education and sports center,
which features two competitive gyms
(Denver Miller Gym and the David
Holley Assembly Hall), the David
Damerall Fitness Center, a dance
studio, health classrooms, and a
wrestling room. Also, recent updates
have been made to the Journalism,

With support from citizens and
private donors through the Kirkwood
School District Foundation, a new
track and synthetic turf were installed
in KHS E.L. Lyons Memorial Stadium in
2010. In spring 2012, the new track
was dedicated as the Alvin Miller Track
in honor of the 1983 KHS graduate,
who is regarded as the best athlete in
school history. In the fall of 2014,
renovations to the stadium bleachers
were completed; the renovations
include accessibility for the physically
challenged, new restrooms, concession
and broadcast center.
The Walker Natatorium, which was
funded by a grant from the Earl E. and
Myrtle E. Walker Foundation, opened
in the fall of 2015 on the KHS campus.
For the first time in school history,
KHS students have the opportunity to
learn to swim as part of the physical
education curriculum, and our aquatic
teams have a home where they can
practice and compete. The Kirkwood
School District Foundation launched a
campaign to raise $3 million to
establish a Legacy Fund and use the
interest earned from the fund for
general operational costs for the pool
such as utilities, water testing and
balancing and equipment inspections.
To date, more than $1 million has been
raised. In future years, the funds may
be used for equipment repairs and
replacement.
KHS welcomes the incoming Class
of 2022 to an exciting learning
community of committed students
and staff. Go Pioneers!

MISSOURI GOLD STAR SCHOOL
The Nipher Middle School building was
built in 1921 and officially opened in
September 1922 as Kirkwood High School,
the community’s new high school. A few
years after KHS opened on Kirkwood
Road, a separate south building was built
in 1929 to house seventh and eighth grade
students in a junior high school. This school
was named in honor of Dr. Francis E.
Nipher, who had been a distinguished
educator and professor at Washington

expanded and renovated in 1993, 2005, and
2010.
NKMS is proud of its students and
dedicated staff who, with incredible parent

strategies in every classroom. It is our goal to
make sure students are not only prepared to
live in our world today, but that we help
engrain the skills they will need for a future
we cannot yet imagine. Through endeavors
like Pursuit Week, where students delve into
a self-selected topic for one full week of
school, and programs such as Project Lead
the Way and Girls on the Run, we strive to
connect all students to their learning and to
understanding their value in this global world.
We are looking forward to our continued

The Parents as Teachers (PAT)
program offers information about early
childhood development and support for
expectant parents and parents of
children from birth until kindergarten
eligibility age. PAT is free and voluntary
and open to all parents in the Kirkwood
School District. In 2017-18, PAT provided
services to approximately 994 Kirkwood
families.
The PAT program offers a variety of
services designed to help all children
receive the best possible start in life.
These programs include home visits
conducted by an early childhood
specialist; group connections on
childhood topics such as discipline,
toilet teaching, sleep issues and sibling
rivalry; community resources for parents
and children; and screenings for hearing,
vision, health, and overall development.
