The Kern High School District is concerned about the health and well-being of its students, staff, and community. Because of the COVID-19 health crisis, Kern High School District school sites will be closed to students beginning Wednesday, March 18. All schools operated by KHSD will serve “grab and go” meals between the hours of 11:00 am to 1:00 pm Monday through Friday. Students can either receive meals at the drive-through location established at the bus-loading zone or walk to the pick-up location to receive lunch and breakfast for the following day. If driving, we ask that parents and students remain in their vehicles while Nutrition Services distributes meals to each child in the car. Students need to be present to receive their meals.
School site offices will also be closed beginning on Thursday, March 19 and will be very minimally staffed. Please call the school site number available on the KHSD website if you need to request assistance. This number is also posted on the front entry to the school site. At this time, we are hoping to re-open on Tuesday, April 14, 2020. We will continue to keep you updated as new information comes in.
