This comes from a West Virginia law (SB 466) passed in 2024, which requires all schools to provide this type of instruction and to use a state-approved platform. For our students, that platform is CyberSWAT/SKYLL.
The lessons are designed to help students better understand situations they may face online:
🔹 Protect their personal information
🔹 Recognize unsafe situations online
🔹 Avoid scams and manipulation
🔹Know when to reach out to a trusted adult
🔹Students will move through interactive, scenario-based experiences, referred to as stories.
Grades 3–5: Realm Quest
Grades 6–12: Miss Informed
We do want families to be aware that some of the situations presented in these lessons are more serious in nature and may introduce topics that you may prefer to approach in your own way or on your own timeline.
Because of that, we encourage families to review the materials ahead of time.
You can see what topics will be covered in the course and read a breakdown of each story in the parent guide,

While this instruction is required under state law, families do have the option to choose an alternative lesson for their child. The opt out form is available in the parent guide.

We’ve made a change to how Kanawha County Schools shares monthly menus. The previous setup worked well for most families, but it didn’t fully meet updated ADA accessibility requirements.
This new format ensures all families can access menu information, including those using screen readers or other assistive technology.
Everything is now organized on one webpage, with quick links to text based menus for each school level and program. You also have the option to download and/or screenshot a traditional view of the menu at the bottom of each individual menu page.
🛜 To find the updated page on our website:
🔹 Click on Menu in the top right corner of the KCS Homepage
🔹 Look under the Parent/Guardian column
🔹 Click on School Menus | Kanawha County Schools
🔹 From that page, you can search for the menu you need
👉 A link to the new page is in the comments of this post!

KCS families, here’s some calendar news!
Kanawha County Schools has been granted a waiver by the West Virginia Department of Education for the 180-day instructional requirement.
❄️ Snow days that happened between:
August 15th, 2025 - March 16th, 2026 will NOT need to be made up this school year.
🗓️ That means, as of today (3/16), the last day of school will remain Friday, May 29.
If the district experiences another full districtwide closure between now and the end of the school year, the calendar could change. If that happens, we will share an update with families.
Think back on your week.
