Nurse and student

When children are healthy, they can learn better.

At Kansas City, Kansas Public Schools, we are committed to the health and wellness of our students and our community. School Nurses at Kansas City, Kansas Public Schools support student learning by promoting health and safety at each preschool, elementary, middle and high school. School nurses function as part of the school’s multidisciplinary team to bridge the gap between health, wellness, and learning.

We have provided answers to some of the most common questions asked about the District’s plans to address the health and safety of our students and staff. KCKPS will maintain a safe and healthy school environment by following best practices and recommendations from the Wyandotte County Public Health Department.
