Fall Semester Honor Roll
I know that rapid tests are hard to come by now and that some drs offices are out/ running low. I have rapid tests at school and can test anyone if needed. Please call the school during school hours or my cell at 870-223-2711 to ask any questions or for a time to be tested. ~ Nurse Alissa

Kirby School District will utilizing our Alternative Methods of Instruction or AMI days on Tuesday, January 11th through Thursday, January 13th due to the large amount of students who are testing positive for Covid-19 or are being placed in quarantine. We will return to campus on Tuesday, January 18th, after the already scheduled Martin Luthur King Jr. Holiday. The basketball games scheduled for Thursday, January 13th vs Mt.

Safety is our#1 goal for all of our staff and students. With that being said, during these AMI days, all school buildings, INCLUDING THE GYMNASIUM, will be closed to everyone.
