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.
Stay healthy. Stay ready. Get immunized!

Kansas law requires that all students under the age of nine must have a completed health assessment on file before enrolling in any Kansas school. The assessment can be performed by a physician, a nurse certified by the Kansas State Department of Education, or someone working under a physician's direction. The assessment must be completed within 12 months of the student's enrollment and no more than 60 days after. Students who do not comply with this policy may be excluded from school until the assessment is completed.
