Statement from the POC/School Nurse:
As of today, 10/22/2020 there are zero active cases of Covid-19 amongst our students and staff. Those that have been quarantined is due to close contact off campus. We are in no threat of a shutdown and there are no individual classes in threat of quarantining. Again, there are zero active cases on Kirby School District campus. Thank you ~ Alissa Kelley, K-12 POC/School Nurse
FALL PICTURE ORDERS: There seemed to be some confusion with picture orders, so I am going to have another order date. This fall, all proofs are digital. If you have an elementary child their teacher sent you an email at the end of September to the email you provided when school started. It included the proof viewing link and order form link and all my contact information. If you have a 7th-11th grader the email link was sent to their school email address to share with parents. If you can’t retrieve those emails, you can email me directly and I will send you all the info. Please don't contact school as they will just have to refer you to me. The new deadline will be Thursday November 5th. My email for pictures is ktmdphotos@gmail.com. Please include the child's name, grade (+ teacher if in elementary). Thanks, Kelly

Parent/Teacher Conferences are scheduled for October 8 from 2:00pm - 7:00pm.
Due to Covid-19 concerns, PTC will look a lot different this year. The Kirby School District admin team has met to formulate a safe plan that will follow all guidelines set forth by the Department of Education, CDC, and Arkansas Department of Health. We know that this plan is not conducive to what we have done in the past but with COVID-19 regulations in place, this is the best option we can provide.
Parents, with whom teachers need to visit for any purpose, will be contacted by their child's teacher by the end of the day on October 6 to schedule a time between 2-7 on October 8. This could be for academic, behavioral, technology, concerns, issues, etc If parents are not contacted, please do not show up without a scheduled time set forth by the teacher.
If a parent is not contacted and would like to schedule a conference meeting, parents will need to get a hold of the teacher via email, phone call, etc to schedule one.
Once again, I know this is out of the norm and not what we would like but our students, faculty/staff, parents are in the best interest of our school district in the decisions we make.

Reminder:
This Friday we are STAR testing all 7-12 VIRTUAL students from 9-11. Masks will be required to enter the building. Students also need to bring a fully charged device with them to test. Students can leave as soon as both sessions of the test are completed. Students who have called and made other arrangements are exempt from testing this Friday
A reminder that your child must be up to date on immunization requirements by October 1st! I mailed out letters on August 26th to those who need vaccines. If your child is medically or religiously exempt, I will need those papers on file here at school. Thanks to those who have taken care of theirs already! If you have any questions or want to know if your child is up to date, you can call me at the school at 870-398-4211 or message me at 870-223-2711. Thank you! - Nurse Alissa
