In Spring 2020, the Crossroads COVID-19 Planning Committee was established to create a Reopening Plan for the 2020-2021 school year. Since that time, the committee and this plan have evolved to address all of the reopening needs associated with the COVID-19 Global Pandemic, across school years. The committee has been seeking ongoing guidance of local and state organizations and leaders, including the Kansas City Health Department and the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. With this information the committee is continuing to work diligently to develop a strategy that allows for flexibility, transparency and prioritizes the health and safety of our community.

Based on insights and resources from practitioners and experts, plus feedback from families and staff, we have created this Reopening Plan with the aim to provide equitable education to all students during this pandemic.
For the 2021-2022 school year, Crossroads will continue to follow best practices as outlined from city, state and national officials to guide our reopening. Currently, we are working towards safely reopening for 100% in-person learning in the fall. We will still offer a virtual option through the state’s MOCAP program. We will update this plan and our Gating Criteria accordingly to reflect any changes in our plans.
