Summer School

Kirbyville School District will offer summer school from June 2 through June 29 for incoming grades K-8. All classes will be held on the elementary campus. Don't miss out on the learning and fun! Plus, breakfast and lunch are offered free of charge for all students! It is not too late to sign up if you haven't already. Contact the elementary office at 334-2757 for enrollment information.

If you are already signed up for summer school, the first field trip for the elementary and middle school students is to Skate World in Branson. Don't forget to wear your socks!!!

The swimming pool is traditionally a favorite destination for our summer school classes. Check out the fun in the following slide show!

1st-4th grade field trip schedule change

Due to the rainout of today's swimming trip (6/12/09), we will go swimming at the Branson Rec Plex on Tuesday, June 16 instead of going to Stockstill Park. The trip will leave at 11:00 a.m. All first through fourth grade students need to be sure to wear their swimsuits and bring their towel and sunscreen on Tuesday.

Summer School Perfect Attendance K-4

Students in grades K-4 who have perfect attendance in summer school will be invited to attend The Amazing Pets Show at the Grand Country Theatre. Students will enjoy the zany animal acts and comedy. In summer school, tardies and early pick-ups do not count against perfect attendance like they do during the school year. Come to summer school everyday and enjoy this special trip!

Table Rock State Park Field Trip

The first through fourth grade summer school students enjoyed an afternoon of nature at Table Rock State Park.

Summer School

Summer school starts on Monday, June 1. The hours are 7:30 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. Monday through Friday. All grades will attend on the elementary campus. Breakfast and lunch are provided free for all students. 5th - 8th graders eat breakfast from 7:30-7:45, so it is critical they are on time. K-4 begins their day with a brief morning assembly. Grades 1-4 eat breakfast beginning at 7:50 and kindergarten students eat at 8:15.

Students in grades 1-8 have academic time in the morning and field trips in the afternoon most days. There are a few full day trips and some days with on campus special activities. A calendar of events has been published for grades 1-4 and for grades 5-8. For students in grades 1-8 a field trip fee of $30.00 is due on the first day of school.

Kindergarten students do not leave campus, except for students who earn the perfect attendance field trip. Details about this trip are TBA.

At dismissal time, buses are loaded and leave campus prior to parent pick-up. All parents should park in the east parking lot. Middle school students (5-8) will walk out to the east lot to meet their parents. Elementary students must be picked up in the cafeteria by a parent or other adult authorized by the parent. They will not be allowed to walk out to the car with an older sibling.

All changes in after school plans must reach the office by note or phone no later than 3:00 p.m. so that messages can be delivered to students prior to loading buses.

Simple Pleasures

Even in these days of fast paced technology, kids still enjoy the simple pleasures of life. Several of our elementary field trips capitalize on this.

Crawdads. It is hard to believe that these clawed creatures bring such pleasure, but the kids were having a grand time on Tuesday searching for the critters in all sizes and observing them in make-shift aquariums, along with minnows, snails and tadpoles. (Our creek time is a "catch and release" program and no actual wildlife was harmed in the making of this memory.)

Deer. Turtles. Fish. Frogs. Spotting these animals along the hiking trail at the Nature Center takes a keen eye, patience and a little self-discipline in the talking department.

A hill. A grassy hill. What is better on a summer day than a quick roll down a grassy hill? It has become a KES tradition of sorts when visiting the Living Memorial Park to enjoy a roll down the hill. And, why not? (It's fun!)

Don't bug me...I'm going to summer school!

We have been having an awesome time at summer school! The KES students received their summer school t-shirts this week and they have been a hit. Kindergarten students can still purchase one for $5.00. The first through fourth graders' shirts were covered through their activity fee. Swimming is coming up tomorrow!
