KIRKWOOD, Mo. — An elementary school in the Kirkwood School District is returning to online learning for a few weeks after 30% of its instructional staff is in quarantine.
According to a letter sent to Kirkwood families, Robinson Elementary’s transition to online learning for all students will be extended through Nov. 23 due to additional staff quarantines.
As of Nov. 9, there are currently 385 students and 51 staff members in quarantine in the Kirkwood School District. The quarantine includes multiple classrooms and two athletic teams.
This comes as COVID-19 cases in the St. Louis area are on the rise. St. Louis County Executive Sam Page said on Monday that the area is headed in the wrong direction.
