Dear Kirkwood School District Residents:

Thank you for making my first year in the
Kirkwood School District an enjoyable and experience
pretend construct
rewarding experience. The generous support of
our community is evident in projects such as this
School Directory, which is produced in partner-
ship with the Webster-Kirkwood Times and our
local business community. 516 S. Kirkwood Road

Every community member is also a key partner

attend one of our many sporting or fine arts
events featuring our talented students. Please

most events free of charge.
We also invite you to visit the schools to see the many exciting projects
underway as part of the district’s master facilities plan. These projects will
greatly enhance the learning opportunities we provide for students. The most
visible of these improvements is the work being done at Lyons Stadium at the
high school. Work to install a new track and synthetic turf in the stadium has

begun with support from citizens and private donors through the Kirkwood
School District Foundation.
On Nov. 2, the district will ask voters to consider two bond issues that are a
response to immediate needs as well as needs outlined in the district’s long-
range facilities plan. Proposition 1, a no-tax rate increase proposal for approxi- teen email:
mately $33.5 million, supports key needs that include providing the capacity
for students to attend kindergarten in their home attendance areas. Currently,
kplteens@kirkwoodpubliclibrary.org
three of the five elementary schools—Keysor, North Glendale and Robinson— kirkwoodpubliclibrary.org
do not have the classrooms needed to allow all their students to attend kinder-
garten in their home school. Also, Proposition 1 would provide a learning 314-821-5770 ext.1020
environment that supports the best in science education for our middle school
students. Both North Kirkwood and Nipher middle schools have outdated sci-
ence classrooms. Proposition 2, a 4.5 cent tax rate increase for approximately
$14.8 million, supports the completion of improvements at Kirkwood High
School, which include an aquatic center, as well as field improvements at both
middle schools. At a cost of 4.5 cents per hundred dollars of assessed valuation,
Propositions 1 and 2 together will provide approximately $48.3 million for
renovation, construction, and improvements for the schools.
I encourage you to learn more about these two bond proposals by visiting
the district’s website at www.kirkwoodschools.org or calling the district’s com-
munity relations office at 314-213-6102.
We look forward to the start of a new school year on Wednesday, Aug. 18.
The education of our children is a top priority for our community and requires
team work and strong community partnerships. Thank you!
Sincerely,

Tom Williams
Superintendent of Schools

ABOUT THE DISTRICT
In partnership with its dynamic communi-
ties, the Kirkwood School District has built a
solid reputation as a district where children
and their needs come first. Kirkwood schools
and communities share a proud heritage and
respect for tradition as well as a progressive
attitude toward education for all children.
District staff, parents and community mem-
bers work together to provide innovative
educational programs, which focus on what
today’s youth must know and learn to
become tomorrow’s leaders.
The district, chartered in 1865, is among
the oldest in St. Louis County and one of the
oldest west of the Mississippi River. Located
in southwest St. Louis County approximately
15 miles from the city of St. Louis, Kirkwood
School District covers an area of 15 square
protection of pupil rights amendment (PPRA)
The Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment
(PPRA) (20 U.S.C. § 1232h; 34 CFR Part 98)
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 con-
tractors make instructional materials available
for inspection by parents if those materials will
be used in connection with an ED-funded
survey, analysis, or evaluation in which their
children participate; and
• It seeks to ensure that schools and con-
tractors obtain written parental consent before
minor students are required to participate in
any ED-funded survey, analysis, or evaluation
that reveals information concerning:
Golden Pass Program For Residents

include preschool, early childhood special
education and Parents As Teachers. The
school district also features a Community
Technology Learning Center open to all dis-

new suburban vitality. Residents enjoy beau-
tiful parks and recreation facilities, thriving
municipal business districts, large shopping
malls, an open-air produce market, and a

college are also located within the district’s
boundaries.
Parents or students who believe their rights

sonable cause to believe that a violation of
PPRA occurred.

School History: PROGRAMS

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 pro-
gram for students completing the elemen-
tary 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, where Nipher Middle
School stands today.
The present school building on Essex
Avenue was built in 1955 on a 47-acre,
seven building, college-style campus. Both
white and African-American students were
enrolled to attend high school together for
the first time. Building improvements from
a 1993 tax/bond issue included the Thomas
N. Keating Performance Center, a fine arts
complex that features an 821-seat theater,
band, art and vocal music classrooms. The
privately funded Walker Commons enclosed
the theater lobby area connecting the
Keating Center to the main campus.
Thanks to community support of
Proposition I in April 2005 and the gener-
osity of private donors through the
Kirkwood School District Foundation, the
Earl and Mrytle Walker Science Center
opened in the fall of 2007. The design of
the new science facility reflects current
research and best practices in science edu-
cation. The two-story structure features 15 Freshman Opening Day:

FAMILY EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS AND PRIVACY ACT (FERPA)

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
(FERPA) (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99) is a Federal
law that protects the privacy of student education
records. The law applies to all schools that receive funds
under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of
Education.
FERPA gives parents certain rights with respect to
their children's education records. These rights transfer
to the student when he or she reaches the age of 18 or
attends a school beyond the high school level. Students
to whom the rights have transferred are “eligible stu-
dents.”
• Parents or eligible students have the right to
inspect and review the student's education records
maintained by the school. Schools are not required to
provide copies of records unless, for reasons such as
great distance, it is impossible for parents or eligible
students to review the records. Schools may charge a
fee for copies.
• Parents or eligible students have the right to
request that a school correct records which they believe
to be inaccurate or misleading. If the school decides not
to amend the record, the parent or eligible student then
has the right to a formal hearing. After the hearing, if
the school still decides not to amend the record, the
parent or eligible student has the right to place a state-
ment with the record setting forth his or her view about
the contested information.
• Generally, schools must have written permission
from the parent or eligible student in order to release
any information from a student's education record.
However, FERPA allows schools to disclose those records,
without consent, to the following parties or under the
following conditions (34 CFR § 99.31):
o School officials with legitimate educational interest;
o Other schools to which a student is transferring;
o Specified officials for audit or evaluation purposes;
o Appropriate parties in connection with financial
aid to a student;
o Organizations conducting certain studies for or on
behalf of the school;
o Accrediting organizations;
o To comply with a judicial order or lawfully issued
subpoena;
o Appropriate officials in cases of health and safety
emergencies; and
o State and local authorities, within a juvenile justice
system, pursuant to specific State law.
Schools may disclose, without consent, "directory"
information such as a student's name, address, tele-
phone number, date and place of birth, honors and
awards, and dates of attendance. However, schools
must tell parents and eligible students about directory
information and allow parents and eligible students a
reasonable amount of time to request that the school
not disclose directory information about them. Schools
must notify parents and eligible students annually of
their rights under FERPA. The actual means of notifica-
tion (special letter, inclusion in a PTA bulletin, student
handbook, or newspaper article) is left to the discretion
of each school.
For additional information or technical assistance,
you may call 202-260-3887 (voice). Individuals who use
TDD may call the Federal Information Relay Service at
800-877-8339.
Or you may contact us at the following address:

400 Maryland Avenue, SW
Washington, D.C. 20202-5920
The Kirkwood School District has determined that
the Voluntary Interdistrict Choice Corporation (VICC)
and its officers, employees and agents are school offi-
cials with legitimate educational interests because they
act for and on behalf of the district with respect to
transfer students and the transfer program, and because
they seek to advance the interests of both. A transfer
student’s attendance records and other educational
records relevant to the student’s participation in the
program or to the program itself may accordingly be
disclosed to VICC without obtaining written consent
from the parent/guardian or eligible student.

ssd public notice

All responsible public agencies are required to
locate, evaluate, and identify children with disabili-
ties who are under the jurisdiction of the agency,
regardless of the severity of the disability, including
non-resident children attending private schools;
highly mobile children, such as migrant and home-
less children; and children who are suspected of
having a disability and in need of special education
even though they are advancing from grade to
grade. The Special School District of St. Louis
County in partnership with the Component Districts
assure that a free, appropriate public education
(FAPE) is provided to all eligible children with dis-
abilities between the ages of 3 and 21 under their
jurisdiction. Disabilities include autism, deaf/blind-
ness, emotional disorders, hearing impairment and
deafness, mental retardation, multiple disabilities,
orthopedic impairment, other health impairments,
specific learning disabilities, speech or language
impairment, traumatic brain injury, visual impair-
ment/blindness and young children with develop-
mental delays.
The Special School District in partnership with
the Component Districts assure that it will provide
information and referral services necessary to assist
the State in the implementation of early intervention
services for infants and toddlers eligible for the
Missouri’s First Steps Program.
The Special School District in partnership with
the Component Districts assure that personally iden-
tifiable information collected, used, or maintained
by the districts for the purposes of identification,
evaluation, placement or provision of FAPE of chil-
dren with disabilities may be inspected and/or
reviewed by their parents/guardians. Parents/guard-
ians may request amendment to the educational
record if the parent/guardian believes the record is
inaccurate, misleading, or violates the privacy or
other rights of their child. Parents have the right to
file complaints with the U.S. Department of
Education or the Missouri Department of Elementary
and Secondary Education concerning alleged fail-
ures by the district to meet the requirements of the
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).
The Special School District of St. Louis County
has developed a local Compliance Plan for imple-
mentation of State Regulations for the Individuals
with Disabilities Education Act – 2004 (IDEA-2004).
This Plan and School Board Policies contain the dis-
trict’s procedures regarding storage, disclosure to
third parties, retention and destruction of personally
identifiable information and the district’s assurances
that services are provided in compliance with
General Education Provision Act (GEPA). This Plan is
available for public review in the Office of the
Superintendent of Schools during regular school
hours on days school is in session.
This notice will be provided in native languages
as appropriate.

School History:
The Nipher Middle School building was built in 1921 and
officially opened in September 1922 as the community’s new
high school. Before its construction, secondary students
attended school with elementary-age children in one of the
district’s first buildings, a four-room brick school built in 1869
at Adams and Jefferson. A few years after the high school
opened on Kirkwood Road, a separate south building was built
in 1929 to house Grades 7 and 8 in a junior high school.
Following the tradition of naming public schools for out-
standing community citizens, the Board of Education chose to
name the junior high school 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 Avenue.
During reorganization in 1976, Nipher Junior High School

School History:
North Kirkwood Middle School (NKMS) was built in
1957 as a junior high school for students in Grades 7, 8
and 9. In 1976, the district began a reorganization of
school grade levels and the junior high school became
a middle school for Grades 6 through 8, with Grade 9
students moving to Kirkwood High School.
As a result of a tax/bond issue in 1993, a building
addition connecting the east and west buildings was
completed in 1995 to house the new library/media
center, seven classrooms and three computer labs.
Facility improvements completed during the summer
included installation of a sprinkler system and new PA
system, new offices within the counseling center, and
other safety and security improvements.
In 2005, the community approved Proposition I,
a two-part bond initiative that provided funds for the
district’s master facilities plan and improvements
throughout the district. Prop I improvements at NKMS
included new water/fire main, new fire alarm system,
exterior door replacements, new roof over band room,
electrical panel replacements in gym and shop areas,
and floor restoration in the north gym.
NKMS is proud of its students and dedicated staff
who, with incredible parent and community involve-
ment and support, have created an exceptional learn-
ing community. The school is nationally recognized as a
Blue Ribbon School and a Missouri Gold Star School.
NKMS consistently ranks on the Missouri “Top 10” list
for student performance on MAP tests. The school was
also named a “Champions for Character” award winner
for incorporating service learning throughout the
school.

School History:
The W. W. 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 William B. Ittner, renowned school architect, the
building has been expanded several times with new addi-
tions designed to blend with the school’s traditional appear-
ance. A wing on the south end of the building was built in
1938; a matching wing on the north end was added in
1949. In 1954, an auditorium/gymnasium was built includ-
ing side wings that provided eight more classrooms.
An addition to the south end of the school was com-
pleted in 1987 to house the media center (library), science/
computer lab, and rooms for reading and gifted education
instruction. Renovations resulting from a district tax/bond
issue in 1993 included technology infrastructure, air condi-
tioning, ADA compliance, and interior upgrades. A covered
pavilion located at the north end of the playground area for
outdoor classroom and learning projects was built in 1999
thanks to the generosity of the Keysor PTO, students and
community.
In 2005, the community approved Proposition I, a two-
part bond initiative that provided funds for the district’s
master facilities plan and improvements throughout the dis-
trict. Prop I improvements at Keysor have included roof
replacement north/south wing, exterior painting, restroom
plumbing upgrades, new domestic fire main and new fire
alarm system.
Keysor School is proud of its students and staff for their
persistent focus on learning and achievement. Keysor ranks
as a Missouri “Top Ten“ school for 2008 MAP test scores and
has earned “Gold Level” recognition for school-wide Positive
Behavior Support efforts. At Keysor, students and staff adhere
to the Keysor Pride Expectations: We are respectful, respon-
sible, honest and kind. The school is committed to social
justice, and the fifth-grade Civil Rights Team displays positive
leadership for all students in making the school community
a socially just place to learn and grow and where all members
are safe, valued, respected, accepted and welcomed.

School History:
The original Westchester Elementary School build-
ing opened in the 1956-57 school year with an enroll-
ment of 149 students. The school is located in north
Kirkwood near Des Peres on approximately 10 acres
that include a wooded wildlife/learning area on the
east boundary. The original structure is now the south
wing and cafeteria area of the present building.
Additions were completed in 1958 (north wing)
and in 1964 (east wing). Renovations resulting from a
1993 tax/bond issue included a second gymnasium,
air-conditioning, technology infrastructure, and interior
upgrades.
In 2005, the community approved Proposition I, a
two-part bond initiative that provided funds for the
district’s master facilities plan and improvements
throughout the district. Prop I improvements at
Westchester have included new domestic/fire main,
new fire alarm, tuck pointing, storm line repairs, north
gym walls painted, and asphalt sealing.
Westchester is proud to be the home of the
“Westchester Winners.” The school is one of only two
St. Louis County schools and five Missouri schools to be
named a 2007 No Child Left Behind–Blue Ribbon
School. Westchester also received Missouri Gold Star
School recognition in 2007 for achieving academic
excellence. For the last four years, Westchester has
earned state recognition for their efforts with School-
Wide Positive Behavior Supports.

School History:
The Kirkwood Early Childhood Center (KECC) is a
licensed and fully accredited early education center
that provides collaborative and comprehensive
resources for families of young children prenatal
through age 4. KECC is open year-round, 6:30 a.m. to
6 p.m., Monday through Friday, and offers a variety of
full- and half-day programs to meet the individual
needs of families with preschool children.
KECC opened in 1991 with 70 children enrolled in
six classrooms housed in the former Hough Elementary
School building and an adjacent one-story wing. In
May 2002, KECC moved into a new and greatly
improved facility which features 12 spacious class-
rooms designed for preschool-age children, full gym-
nasium, screening and developmental assessment
rooms, a new discovery room and an activity room
that offers an exciting array of tuition classes in move-
ment, science, drama and art throughout the fall,
spring and summer. An enhanced security system and
many other new features make KECC a world-class
facility. In addition, KECC is now licensed to serve 191
children. The new building is part of the Hough
Community Learning Center complex.
KECC provides several options and a variety of
programs for early childhood education. These pro-
grams include a full-day preschool program with
extended childcare, half-day preschool, Parents as
Teachers and early childhood special education pro-
grams.
The curriculum in KECC classrooms is developed to
allow each child and family to become personally
involved in the adventure of learning. This includes
cognitive development in math, science, pre-reading,
art and social studies; social/emotional development;
language development; music and movement; field
sports, water play and gross motor/gym activities.
Educational assessments and developmental checklists
are administered in October and March based on
observations of developmental milestones. The results
are shared with parents during parent/teacher confer-
ences. Services for students with developmental dis-
abilities or delays are readily available by an outstand-
ing staff of special educators located within the build-
ing. This staff also provides outreach services to our
community early education partners.
The dedicated staff is committed to providing a
nurturing and inclusive, yet challenging learning
environment for young children throughout the vari-
ous programs offered at the center. KECC is proud of
the longevity of its highly qualified staff members
who engage in a minimum of 15 hours of profes-
sional development annually. KECC has received rec-
ognition for being a “Positive Behavior Support”
award-winning school for four consecutive years. The
center is a member of the St. Louis Association for
Education of Young Children (SLYAEC), the Child Day
Care Association, Missouri Board of Voluntary
Accreditation and a participant in the USDA Food
Program. KECC also offers tuition scholarships for
families receiving Title XX funding.
The Parents as Teachers program at KECC offers
information about early childhood development and
support for expectant parents and parents of children
ages birth through kindergarten age. PAT is free and
voluntary and open to all parents in the Kirkwood
School District. In 2009-10 PAT provided services to
approximately 1,027 Kirkwood families.
The 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; parent meetings on child-
hood topics such as discipline, toilet teaching, sleep
issues and sibling rivalry; hands-on activities for parents
and children; and screenings for hearing, vision, lan-
guage, motor and concept development. In addition,
PAT offers opportunities to participate and benefit from
CPR classes, parent/child interactive programs and
classes, early childhood speakers, discovery room play
times, grandparents club, play groups, and a babysit-
ting co-op.

Special Education parent & community
Parent Advisory organizations
Council In the Kirkwood School District, parents and
community members are active participants in
The Kirkwood Special Education Parent
Advisory Council (PAC) was developed to pro-
vide 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 sev-
eral times each year to share information and
seek input from parents on district planning for
special education and related supports for stu-
dents. These meetings are open to everyone
and are announced in the Parent Handbook and
Buzz Book each year.
strategic planning & development
STRATEGIC PLANNING AND SCHOOL
IMPROVEMENT TEAMS
The success of the Kirkwood School
District’s educational programs is the result of
strategic planning, which involves students,
administrators, teachers, support staff, par-
ents and community members. A Strategic
Planning Coordinating Committee oversees
the process and develops the school district’s
mission and core beliefs.
While all Kirkwood schools are guided by
the district’s mission, School Improvement
Teams at each school develop goals and strat-
egies for the educational programs that best
fit the needs of children in their individual
schools. The Teams include students, parents,
staff, school board and community members
who meet throughout the year. The School
Improvement Teams contribute to the dis-
tinct characteristics and the innovative pro-
grams offered in each Kirkwood school.

Volunteer & Community Mentor Programs
Kirkwood School District parents and commu-
nity 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. Volunteers assist classroom teach-
ers, work with individual students, perform clerical
duties, plant shrubs and flowers, or help school
nurses and librarians.
In addition to the committed volunteers from
each school’s PTO, other adults impact students’
lives through several mentor/role model programs
under the umbrella of the Community Mentor
Program. As mentors, adults serve as role models
who help students establish positive goals and
improve their academic performance. More than
200 residents annually take part in Community
Mentor Programs.
CURRICULUM, INSTRUCTION
AND ASSESSMENT
Developing curriculum and instruction that
best meets the needs of all children is the guid-
ing force behind the Kirkwood School District’s
exemplary educational programs. Quite simply,
curriculum is what we teach children and
instruction is how we teach children. Assessment
is the measurement of learning. Curriculum for
each discipline is developed after a review of
best practice and state standards. A Curriculum
Review Committee that includes administrators,
teachers, students, parents and community
members review proposed curriculum.
Curriculum guides for all subjects include
detailed information about what is being taught
at each grade level as well as how students’
work will be assessed. Instructional methods are
continually reviewed to ensure the best teach-
ing techniques and research are being put to
use in the classrooms. Assessments to offer stu-
dents ongoing feedback are frequent and
reported to parents.

Kids, Sports and Contact Lenses

Question: Carrie Gaines, O.D.
My nine-year-old plays sports year round. Board Certified Optometrist
Wearing glasses is really inconvenient. Richard Wieder, M.D.
They slip, get smudged and sometimes get Board Certified Ophthalmologist
knocked off. At what age can a child wear
contact lenses or are there other options? 314 . 842 . 5070
Answer: Dr. Gaines and patient VSP accepted
For kids, ages 8 and up. involved in competitive sports, dance or theater, soft daily disposable lenses are a
great solution when glasses get in the way. There is no need to clean and disinfect the contact lenses since they
are worn for one day and discarded. Because the contact lenses are always new, they are very comfortable.
Not only are daily disposable contact lenses easy to use, they are regarded as the safest type of contact lens
available. There is no cost for contact lens solutions, so they are very affordable.
Daily disposable contact lenses are a good alternative to glasses, when needed. They can increase a child’s
confidence, leading to better performance on the field or on the stage. If your child is
not ready for contact lenses, another popular option is prescription sports goggles.
Summer is a great time to begin contact lens wear before practice begins and
school resumes. We specialize in fitting children, tweens and teens for contact
lenses. Call us today for a consultation.
