WELCOME FROM THE

SUPERINTENDENT
Dear Kirkwood School District Residents:
Welcome to the Kirkwood School District.
We are blessed to have a generous community
who supports our work through projects such
as this School Directory, which is produced in
partnership with the Webster-Kirkwood Times
and our local business community. Every
community member is a true partner in the important job of
educating our children. Our local school is a great source of
community pride and we invite you to participate and to get
involved.
We encourage you to attend one of our many events
including our award winning music and/or performing arts
programs or one of our many athletic events. If you are a
senior citizen, please contact us at 314-213-6123 to ask about
our Golden Pass. The Golden Pass is for residents over 60
years of age and allows recipients to attend most events free
of charge.
We are very proud of our tradition of excellence and high
student achievement. The District has been named a Missouri
School of Distinction for academic performance each year
since 2001. Kirkwood seniors graduating in 2016 had an
average ACT composite test score of 24, which ranks among
the top scores for high schools in the state of Missouri. The
Class of 2016 had a 98% graduation rate, one of the highest
in school history. The 2016 Niche.org national school rating
service list of Best Schools ranks the Kirkwood School
District as the 3rd best pubic school district in the state of
Missouri.
Kirkwoods growing enrollment validates our reputation as
a destination community and an excellent school district. We
invite you to visit the schools to see our campuses and
experience the Pioneer tradition of excellence. We are
excited about the recently completed Walker Natatorium,
the result of a $10 million grant from the Earl E. & Myrtle E.
Walker Foundation. Continued improvements to the campus
of Kirkwood High School, all made possible due to the
generosity of our community, alumni and friends, makes
Kirkwood High School one of the most beautiful campuses of
any public or private school in the St. Louis area.
We look forward to the start of a new school year on
Tuesday, August 16, 2016. The education of our children is our
top priority, and we invite you to join us as partners in this
important task. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Tom Williams, Superintendent

KSD TELEPHONE DIRECTORY 2016-17

The Kirkwood School District phone and voicemail system is part of the overall technology network. Callers are asked
to listen to a menu of options directing them to individual schools or district offices. Each classroom has a telephone and
extension number. Parents can phone a classroom directly to hear homework assignments or to leave messages for the
teacher. This directory includes the more frequently requested numbers. Please note, the designation vm refers to voice
mail extensions that only allow the caller to hear or leave a message.

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: 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 Aug. 16 unless all immunizations
are up-to-date and documented. Parents who have questions concerning
immunization requirements may call the Office of Student Services, 314-2136105.
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 $500 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 $130 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.
Students who participate in the Voluntary Transfer Program should contact
Diane Huwer in the Office of Student Services, 314-213-6105, with questions
regarding transportation from the city of St. Louis.
SCHOOL LUNCH & BREAKFAST PROGRAM: The districts school lunch and
breakfast program provides students with well-balanced meals that meet state
and federal guidelines. Prices are kept as reasonable as possible.
Lunch Prices for 2016-17:
Breakfast Prices for 2016-17:
Elementary Students: $2.75
Students: $2.00
Middle & High School Students: $2.90
Adults: $2.40
Adults: $3.35
Family income criteria are calculated annually by the National School Lunch
and Breakfast programs of the federal government for a reduced-price meal
program. All children in district schools receive an application in the fall.
Families with children who qualify for the reduced-price program are notified
by their schools. Applications are available in all principals offices and can be
made or changed at any time during the school year if an eligible family
experiences an increase in family size or reduction in income.

KIRKWOOD SCHOOL DISTRICT FOUNDATION
The Kirkwood School District Foundation is a public, not-for-profit organization
established in 1989 for the purpose of encouraging and financially supporting the best
educational opportunities for all students and staff in the Kirkwood School District.
While operating independently of the school board and administration, the
foundation works closely with both to support academic programs, staff enrichment,
special projects, scholarships and other needs that cannot be met through traditional
public funding sources. The Foundation fulfills its mission through private and corporate tax-deductible donations. All funds raised by the Foundation are used to benefit
students and teachers.
For more information about the Foundation and to find out how you can help,
please call (314) 213-6123 or visit: kirkwoodfoundation.org. Foundation updates
can also be found on Facebook: Kirkwood School District Foundation, or on Twitter:

Why invest in Elementary Education?

The Institute of Medicine and National Research Council of the
National Academy of Science released a report entitled: From Neurons
to Neighborhoods: The Science of Early Childhood Development. This
report cites that both brain architecture and developing abilities are

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 Districts 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,
Band & Atlas classroom spaces
including updated technology and

additional square footage.
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 2020 to an exciting learning
community of committed students
and staff. Go Pioneers!

Hough Community Learning Center

Kirkwood, MO 63122
Phone Number:
314-213-6142
In August 2010, the Kirkwood
School District partnered with the
Webster Groves School District to
provide VISTA, a new student
program offered in the Hough
Learning Center.
VISTA provides a productive,
consistent and safe non-traditional
community for high school students.
Given the unique needs of our
students, VISTA is relationship based
programming with individual learning
experiences that develop the potential
of every student.
VISTA serves
approximately 125 high school
students from Kirkwood and Webster
Groves each year.
Not all students attain full success
at their home schools. It is the districts
goal to provide all students the
academic and/or social and emotional
support they need in order to succeed.
The VISTA staff members take pride
in knowing every student on a
personal level, valuing and treating
each one as an individual, and placing
each student at the center of all

decisions.
Students are accepted into VISTA
by a referral process beginning at the
students home school. Referrals are
made for a variety of reasons that
may
include
credit
recovery,
individualized instruction, alternative
setting, social or emotional concerns,
school to work transition or diploma
completion. The goal of VISTA is that
students will return to their home
school as soon as possible.

The Nipher Middle School building

was built in 1921 and officially opened in
September 1922 as Kirkwood High
School, the communitys 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 University
in St. Louis. The north building housed
Kirkwood High School until its move in
1954 to its present location on Essex
Ave.
During reorganization in 1976, Nipher

Junior High School became Nipher
Middle School to house Grades 6
through 8 with Grade 9 moving to
Kirkwood High School. The Nipher
building is a designated historical
landmark and its recent additions
continue to reflect the original design of
William B. Ittner, renowned school
architect. These additions and other
school renovations occurred in 1993,
2005, 2010 and 2013.
Designated as a Missouri Gold Star
School, Nipher is proud of its students
and their achievements. Nipher students

journeys as empathetic, creative and critical
thinkers who actively impact our world.
Keysor Elementary School first welcomed
children in September 1930. The school was
named for Judge William Winchester Keysor,
a prominent Kirkwood citizen and president
of the school board in the early 1900s.
Designed by renowned school architect
William B. Ittner, the building has been
expanded and renovated several times in
1938, 1949, 1954, 1987, 1993, 2005, and 2010.
On May 28, 2013, Keysor officially

dedicated Project IDEA, an outdoor landscape
for learning and play space on roughly 1.5
acres on the west side of campus. Project
IDEA, which stands for Imagination,
Discovery, Exploration and Adventure, is an
inclusive space with various play structures
plus a walking path, garden lab, soccer field,
stage area, other features that support
creative learning and a respect for the
environment. Designed with students and
community members in mind, the project was
funded with support of the Keysor PTO,
private donors, and community foundations
and grants.
Keysor is proud of its students and staff

for their consistent focus on learning and
achievement. Keysor received the National
Blue Ribbon School of Excellence in 2013 and
the Missouri Gold Star School in both 2011
and 2013. Students and staff adhere to Keysor
Pride expectations being responsible,
respectful and safe. Through various efforts,
Keysor is intentionally working to develop in
students a sense of connectedness to nature
and a responsibility to impact in positive
ways our community and a global society. In
partnership with families, Keysor works each

Motto: Learn Like A Champion Today
Nickname: Superstars
for renovation/modernization.
The school often serves as a community
focus for its namesake city of Glendale. The
school and the city have established a strong
partnership for the purpose of combining
resources to benefit children and instruction.
In 2010, the Kirkwood School District, North
Glendale PTO, and the city of Glendale
collaborated to build the school playground
and to create a school/community park area.
Another partnership has formed to create an
additional play area in the summer of 2016.
North Glendale School is proud to be a
school where teachers and support staff are
dedicated to doing what is best for students.
The school has set high academic and
behavior expectations for all. At North

Glendale, students and staff honor this school
pledge daily: As a learner at North Glendale
I will be: cooperative, respectful, responsible,
honest, and I will persevere. Through the
efforts of a supportive PTO and the many
parents, university practicum students, high
school students and senior citizens who
regularly volunteer, North Glendale has
established a nurturing, welcoming learning
community in which all children can learn and
grow.
The state of Missouri recognized North
Glendale as a Gold Star School in 2014
followed by the U.S. Department of Education
recognition as a National Blue Ribbon School.

North Glendale Elementary School opened

in the fall of 1938. In spring 2008, the school
dedicated an outdoor learning pavilion in
honor of Tom Waltz, former principal who
retired in 2006. The pavilion was made
possible through a grant submitted by the
city of Glendale, Kirkwood School District,
and North Glendale PTO.
North Glendale School has been renovated
and/or expanded in 1964, 1993, 2005, and
2010. In 2013, a Library Media Center was
created in the old gymnasium area, and the
former
library
was
converted
into
approximately 2300 square foot of additional
classroom space.
This project won an
architectural award for outstanding design

Commission
Co.,
is
remembered for his philanthropic
contributions and for establishing youth
organizations
in
the
Kirkwood
community. Robinson School has
expanded through building additions in
1937, 1949, 1953, 1987, and 2010.
The mission of our school states that
Robinson students will make a difference
in their communities and their lives by
acting with habits of grit and problem

solving. To that end, we believe our
responsibilities span beyond our walls.
Thanks to the fundraising efforts of our
families, children at Robinson learn
indoors and outdoors, making use of
our wooded areas, trails and outdoor
classroom amphitheater. Students
engage in authentic service learning
opportunities and enjoy partnerships
with organizations such as Litzinger
Ecology Center and Aberdeen Heights.
We also responsibly connect with the
larger world by thoughtfully integrating
technology into our instruction, giving
our students a chance to make
meaningful connections around the
corner and around the globe. The staff

of Robinson is committed to preparing
students for their role in an increasingly
digital world, while also teaching them
the importance of maintaining a balance
between
the
traditional
and
technological.
We are a welcoming and inclusive
community with a focus on high
academic standards for all of our
students, pre-school through fifth grade.
Together, with our active and supportive
families, the Robinson community works
tirelessly and enthusiastically to
promote the success of all students.

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. Kirkwoods
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 and are
listed on the Kirkwood Special Education Facebook page, Special Programs
Website and in the Parent Handbook and Buzz Book each year.
