We would like to honor Junior Tyler White for being voted on by teachers and staff to represent Kirby High School as Arkansas Boys State delegate.
Arkansas Boys State is an immersive program in civics education designed for high school juniors. Since 1940, the week-long camp has transformed the lives of young men throughout our state and beyond. These young men have gone on to become incredible leaders, including President Bill Clinton, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, and Senator Tom Cotton — just to name a few.
Unfortunately, like many other events, Arkansas Boys State has been cancelled for 2020. Regardless, we are proud of Tyler for being chosen and willing to participate in the week long

We know the COVID-19 virus has caused many interruptions into everyone's daily lives and we are doing the best we can to ensure our students are well cared for. We are missing all of our students and hope for the best in return to normalcy. Please take precautions in this this time of uncertainty regarding the virus. We want to see everyone healthy when we come back.
Sincerely,
Kirby School District.

Hello, this is Pike Palmer superintendent of the Kirby School District. As you may have heard, Governor Asa Hutchinson announced today that all Arkansas public schools will remain closed for onsite instruction through April 17 due to the increasing spread of COVID-19 across the state. The decision to close schools will be re-evaluated in a few weeks based on public health conditions at that time.
Digital instruction and AMI packets will resume March 30 after Spring Break.
We ask that you please fill out the technology survey found on our school website at www.kirbytrojans.net or Kirby School District Facebook page. This is very important as we plan and prepare to move forward in the upcoming weeks with our curriculum and instruction.
We will send out another email beginning of next week detailing our plan for the upcoming weeks regarding providing students and families with food, providing technology resources such as chromebooks, and AMI packets for those who do not have Internet accessibility.
These are unprecedented circumstances but rest assured we will do everything in our power to assist your family and further your childs education. Thank you for your continued efforts to support us in these difficult days. We are Trojan Strong!!!
The Student Internet Access Survey can be found on our Facebook page or by clicking "Explore" at the top of this page.
From the counselor's office:
The April 4 ACT has been cancelled. Those registered can switch their dates to June or July for $30, but you will be refunded in 3-5 days.
The Senior Showcase on April 16 has been cancelled. Because of our ever increasing crunch time, it's unlikely that it will be rescheduled. Scholarships will be announced at graduation.
For those who give or have given to the food pantry throughout the year, today was a reminder of how blessed we are with your donations. Along with the 50+ bags Taylor and I packed, I also sent out over 20 food boxes to Kirby families. Without your donations, we could never do this. Our food pantry is still stocked! If you didn’t get a bag or box and need one, please let me know. We have so many uncertainties coming up and lack of food shouldn’t be one of them. A few parents told me they were “embarrassed to ask” and I reassured them that this is exactly why we started the food pantry at school! Thank you from the bottom of my heart to those who give. #Trojannation
Virtual Arkansas students should check their kirbytrojans.net email for instructions and tips on how to access coursework from home. You have an email from Mrs. Jaime.

Per Governor Hutchinson's news conference, due to the COVID-19 circumstances surrounding our state, he has mandated all schools shut down beginning Tuesday, March 17 through Friday, March 20. Schools have the option to close or operate on Monday, March 16.
Kirby School District will operate Monday, March 16 to allow our families to make arrangements for school dismissal and faculty the opportunity to make arrangements for AMI packets and or Chromebooks for those who have internet access available. If you choose not to send your child to school on Monday, please stop by between 12:00 pm and 4:30 pm to pick up your child's AMI packet and or Chromebook.
Kirby ABC and Kindergarten registration has been postponed for now. A later date will be announced as soon as we get back to normalcy.
Kirby School food pantry is open to all students and their families. Please contact Nurse Alissa at 870-223-2711 or on facebook if you need any assistance at anytime due to the school closing. Bags are already packed up and will be sent home for those students on our backpack program who will be here tomorrow. If your child will not be here but you would like to have their bag of food and extra we will be sending home, please contact Nurse Alissa to make arrangements. You do not have to be signed up on the backpack program to get assistance.
School is to resume March 30. At that time, the state will monitor and reevaluate the situation. We will update as we find out. I know this situation is unlike any we have faced as a school and community. We will all work together to get through this successfully. Thank you to all of our community members inside and outside of our community. #TrojanNation

We would like to thank Sgt. Jones and the Army National Guard for feeding our staff at school this evening!!
As Kirby School District K-12 Nurse, my job includes providing health care through assessment, intervention, and follow-up for all students in the school. Along with the teachers and staff, we have only the students best interest in mind which includes staying healthy, staying in class, and having very little absences due to health related issues.
Sometimes it is in the best interest of the student, teachers and classmates that if I have a health concern, I will refer the child to be seen by a physician before returning to school.
ALL screenings that I do are conducted in a manner that respects the confidentiality of each student.
Thanks,
Alissa Kelley

Please see statement from Arkansas State Police:
STATE POLICE STATEMENT
ON SOCIAL MEDIA POSTINGS
RELATED TO SCHOOL THREAT
AUGUST 25, 2019
The Arkansas State Police has been in close contact in recent days with the Federal Bureau of Investigation attemping to identify the source of an alleged threat of gun violence at an undisclosed Arkansas school reportedly planned for later this week.
At this time no corroborating evidence or useful details have been uncovered in regard to the information provided to the FBI.
In the event more specific or credible information is received; it will be shared with local law enforcement offices, state and local school officials, as well as Arkansas citizens.
The Arkansas State Police asks that if anyone has information about a threat of violence whether the site of the threat may be a school or other public place, please contact your nearest Arkansas State Police Office or local law enforcement agency. A complete listing of state police offices can be found at https://asp.arkansas.gov/divisions/highway-patrol/
Dear Kirby School District Community,
The Kirby School District wants to address something that is currently circulating on social media.
On August 20th the FBI in Little Rock issued a general awareness statement to law enforcement agencies about information they received regarding a threat of a possible school shooting in Kentucky on August 28 and in Arkansas on August 29. The suspects made comments while playing an online game overseas. The FBI could NOT verify the source of the threat.
The Kirby School District is NOT aware of any specific threat to our district. The threat is not specific to any school however, we will continue to monitor the situation and reassess as needed.
The KSD wants to assure our learning community that we take the safety of our scholars and staff seriously. The KSD has plans to address safety.
The KSD will continue communicating with the Pike County Sheriff's Office over the next week. The KSD will take all steps necessary to protect our scholars and staff.
The Sr. Beta Club will meet at lunch on Monday. If your student is in grades 9-12, and had a 3.0 GPA last semester, they are eligible. The one time fee of $15 is due by Sept. 20th. If they want to attend the state convention in Hot Springs there will be an additional $20 fee. The convention will be Jan. 24-25. That fee will be due by Oct. 1.
If you listed an allergy on your child’s medical form that requires an Epi Pen in the case of an emergency, you need to bring it ASAP to the nurses office. Any questions or concerns, call me at the school at 870-388-4211. Thanks. Nurse Alissa
Reminder:
We will have school this Friday the 16th which will count as a normal week of school. Next week we will begin our Mon-Thurs schedule. The calendar is on the website and printed copies can be picked up at any office.

Reminder: Tomorrow, Tuesday, March 26: Elementary Class Pictures and Peewee Basketball Pictures.
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

Kirby School District App
Kirby School District has teamed up with Apptegy and are proud to announce the release of the NEW and greatly improved kirbytrojans.net website. Our new website offers all the information that parents, students and teachers all will need!! We now have the capability to send out text messages and automated voicemails from information gathered from eSchool registration.
In addition to the new site, we are excited to have our very own Kirby Trojan’s app!! This is app is available for download in both Google Play and iTunes Store. This app will have all the information found on the website and much more!! If you turn on the “push notifications” in the settings, you will be able to get live updates as they are pushed out. This will be great for those who like to keep up with ballgame scores and for those days we might be out of school.
Both the website and app are linked directly to our NEW Facebook page. To help streamline and make things less confusing, we have a new Kirby School District Facebook page! Be sure to follow us there. Search for Kirby School District.
We urge all parents, students and staff to download the app!!! This will be a great way for our administrators to get messages and information to everyone a lot faster and more efficiently!
Thank you and Go Trojans!
Sincerely,
Pike Palmer
