This year we kicked off our School Based Health Center and it has been great! Heather is on Kirby campus Tuesdays from 1:30-4:30 and we offer telemed visits Monday-Thursday. We also offer flu, strep, RSV and Covid testing and much more! If you have any question about the health clinic, please feel free to call me at school during school hours at 870-398-4211. Lots of students and staff have taken advantage of this and I can tell you how this has helped parents not have to miss work or wait in the doctors office! Our goal is to keep kids in school and healthy! - Nurse Alissa Kelley

Students and Faculty gathered around our flagpole this morning to share a moment of prayer. Mrs. Carrie Jo Cook read scripture and spoke and KHS Junior Jenna Bailey led the group in prayer. We are blessed with an amazing student body, faculty and #TrojanNation!


On Wednesday, September 22nd, students will be gathering at our flagpole at 7:30am for prayer. We ask that all parents who drop their children off in the car line to be vigilant of students as they gather. This is a student organized event.

Progress Reports are posted to Home Access Center (HAC). You can email me if you have trouble accessing your child's grades @ kristina.reid@kirbytrojans.net. Parent/Teacher Conferences will be Thursday, September 23 from 2-7 PM. School will dismiss early and buses will leave campus at 1 PM that day. Due to COVID constraints, Parents with whom teachers need to visit for any purpose, will be contacted by their child's teacher by the end of the day Monday, September 20th to schedule a time between 2 & 7 pm. This could be for academic, behavioral, technology, concerns, issues, etc. If parents are not contacted, please do not come on campus 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 in contact with the teacher via email, phone call, etc by the end of the day Tuesday, September 21 to schedule a conference time.
To clear up some rumors that are circulating around, Kirby School District and their employees are not and will not vaccinate your child from Covid 19 on our campus. We have no plans to have a Covid vaccination clinic at this time. The only thing we have scheduled is our yearly influenza vaccination clinic on Oct 6th and those are given by the Pike Health Department and no one is given one without signed parental consent.
I believe every vaccination is a parental choice and would never force a student to do anything against their will or parents. I worked to hard for my nursing license to do something to put my license in jeopardy.
I hope all parents and guardians know that we have the students health, safety and education as top priority.
If you have any questions or concerns, please call me at the school at 870-398-4211. Thanks - Nurse Alissa Kelley
Elementary students had a busy morning getting hearing and vision screenings. They will continue through the week! ~ Nurse Alissa
