Today, October 29, 2020, Kimball Public Schools received notice of an employee and a student positive with COVID-19.
Kimball Public Schools is fully cooperating with public health contact tracers to identify other individuals who were in close proximity to these individuals(within 6 feet for a period of at least 15 minutes). Public health officials will directly notify any staff or students that may need to self-quarantine.
As Kimball Public Schools is currently in the "Orange" phase, we continue to strongly encourage you to please wear a mask to school, on the bus, and at sporting events. Masking is key to keeping kids in school. Please see the infographic PPHD uses for School Investigations found in the COVID-19 tab on our school website: www.kpslonghorns.org.
If anyone is experiencing any of the following: cough, fever, shortness of breath, sore throat, runny nose, body chills, headache, loss of taste or smell, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea, testing for COVID-19 is available at www.testnebraska.com and you can sign up with your email address for testing in the local area by contacting your medical provider.
Protect yourself from COVID-19 by maintaining 6-foot distance away from others, wash or sanitize your hands often, wear a mask, and clean/disinfect frequently touched surfaces. We all have a part in the important prevention of COVID-19.
The Kimball junior high wrestling tournament that was scheduled for Tuesday November 3 at Kimball has been moved to Monday November 16 starting at 10:00 am in the main gym. Due to our current covid protocol we will be allowing just one parent per wrestler.

7th grade students started their ecosystem boxes today in Geography! What does this have to do with geography, you ask? An ecosystem is a geographic area where plants, animals, and other organisms, as well as weather and landscape, work together to form the “bubble of life!” These living and non-living parts all come together to form the different places that people can live. Can’t wait to show everyone the final products!!! #longhornpride
