What Will Classes Look Like in the Fall?

What will KCP classes look like in the Fall of 2021? We don’t know. We do not have all the answers, but we do know one thing for sure. We will be operating in a capacity somewhere between two ends of a spectrum. Let’s call it Where We Are Now and Where We Were Pre-COVID. 

WHERE WE ARE NOW
This is how we currently operate. It is a virtual program, with supplementary in-person outdoor learning times and art supply pick-up/drop-offs. No student drop-offs during in-person outdoor time.

Wednesdays: 10:00-10:45am virtual learning every 2nd and 4th Wednesday

WHERE WE WERE PRE-COVID
This is our beloved program that we long to get back to and are working towards in hopes that soon we will have more in-person and in-class time together and the year progresses.
