    KPS will start the 2020-21 school year on August 31st using a tiered system to gradually integrate students back into classrooms depending on COVID-19 conditions, with fully remote learning starting. Families also have the option to remain fully virtual all year. The tiered system has three trimesters that would see students starting remotely, then returning to school two days a week, and finally returning full-time if conditions allow. Two full-time virtual options are also available through KPS or Kalamazoo County programs, while still maintaining Promise eligibility.
