On Thursday, March 14 during the regular school board meeting that was scheduled after the parent/community meeting, the Kirby School Board voted unanimously to implement a four-day school week for the 2019-2020 school year. Over the past six months, there has been much discussion, research and surveys between administrators, faculty/staff, students, parents/guardians, and community regarding a four-day school week. We feel there are many positives that will become of this decision for Kirby School District, our students, and our community. We also understand there are a few negatives as well but we feel the pros outweighed the cons. There are many states and school districts successfully implementing a four-day school week all across the nation and it is our goal to become the first current school district to successfully implement a four-day school week in Arkansas. With any change comes apprehension and concerns but we will all work extremely hard together to make this innovative idea succeed. We will send out more information in the near future like school calendar, registration, and other pertinent information valuable to everyone. Thank you! Sincerely, Kirby School District

Just a quick reminder there will be a public meeting after parent/teacher conferences at 7p.m. on March 14 in the cafeteria. We will be following up on our previous surveys about a possible change to a 4 day school week next year. We would like to see as many parents/guardians of our students as possible. There will be a presentation followed by a question and answer session. The purpose of this meeting is to garner feedback.
