KIRBY CHESS CLUB
Kirby Public Schools
Kirby, AR
The Kirby Chess Club has had another great year! The TEAM went to Regionals and played against sixteen schools. We played 1-A through 3-A schools. The team members are Dathan
Trejo, Neftali Gonzalez, Gary Hernandez, Jonathan Breazeale, Logan Daniels, Chianna Travis,
Karli Hernandez, Matthew Wilder, Nasha Friedman, and Levi York. The students had some intense, close games, and did their best. The team had to come in one of the top three places to assure a place at State Tournament. The team came in third place so it was on to the
State Tournament held at Bald Knob, AR schools. As their coach and sponsor, I am very
Proud of their talent and their behavior at this very long week-end tournament. At this important tournament, we tied for fifth place. Out of the twenty schools, we played eleven of them. Congratulations to our team!! Our team will miss the three graduating seniors: Neftali, Gary, and Nathan. The team is coached and sponsored by Ms. Linda Madsen
Congratulations to our OWL Program kids!! They are now OSHA Certified!!!

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
Just a quick reminder there will be a public meeting after parent/teacher conferences at 7p.m. on March 14 in the cafeteria.

There will be a presentation followed by a question and answer session. The purpose of this meeting is to garner feedback.

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
Kirby Superintendent
