Campus News and Updates

To limit the spread of COVID-19 and protect the health of our community, Kirby enforces campus safety protocols which follow the orders and guidance issued by the California Department of Public Health, Cal/OSHA Workplace Safety and Health Regulations, and local health departments.

In-Person Learning Available for All Students

We're excited for the upcoming school year!

Our challenging program is available both in-person, with enhanced safety precautions, and online, for at home learners. Social and emotional well-being is a top priority and vital to student success. Our caring team is committed to helping your child thrive.

To facilitate 6' social distancing, Kirby School will operate out of two buildings this year, 375 Encinal and 425 Encinal. Less than one block from one another, 375 Encinal will be used mainly for high school level classes. 

Mask Wearing, Weekly COVID Testing, Daily Health Screening

Kirby will perform weekly COVID-19 surveillance testing for ALL of our students and will require masks to be worn indoors by all members of our community at all times, regardless of vaccination status. In addition, Kirby requires all students and staff to perform a daily health screening using a tool called Fever Free. This simple app allows our health office staff to monitor health conditions in our community. We also have a screening station in the lobby for visitors. 

Members of our community may learn more about health screening, mask wearing and COVID testing on our Campus Health and Safety Resource Board in the Kirby Portal.
