Valentine’s Day is coming up, and we’re excited to celebrate a fun day of kindness and friendship with our students! To help the day run smoothly, please keep the following guidelines in mind:
Kirby School District will be implementing a 2 hr delay on Monday, February 2. School will start at 10:00 am. If your child is a bus rider, add 2 hrs to the time they would have normally been picked up by their bus. There are a few icy places on campus so please be cautious and take your time when dropping off your children or driving onto campus (ballfields, teacher parking lot, driveway between old gym and new gym). We understand there maybe some areas of concern still with icy driveways, backroads, etc. If your child is unable to make it to school safely, they will be excused. Please let Mrs. Lisa Miller or Mrs. Kristina Reid know tomorrow morning. We appreciate your understanding in helping us as we continue to deal with the winter weather aftermath. We look forward to seeing everyone back on campus.
