Reminder, no school today!
Our hearts and prayers go out to the students, staff, administration, and community surrounding the St. Louis Central Visual and Performing Arts High School. In yet another tragic shooting at one of our schools many are impacted by someone determined to do harm to others.
The Kirksville R-III District continues to be vigilant in our efforts to ensure the safety of our students and staff. We are focusing on ensuring that we do everything possible to keep evil-doers on the outside of our buildings. In this effort we ask everyone to understand why we are limiting entry to our buildings to a single public entryway and why they are electronically controlled.
We are taking additional measures to make sure staff and students also do everything they must to keep all access areas secure. The St. Louis shooting brings to mind again the need to end the selfish divisiness that surrounds us, and seek to understand the needs of others.

I Think I Can Project
To all parents of Kirksville R-III Students:
We have been connected with the Kirksville R-III schools for the past 14 years and hope to
continue for as long as we can help. Our simple mission is:
TO PROVIDE BASIC NEEDS AND OPPORTUNITIES
TO THE STUDENTS AT THE KIRKSVILLE R-III SCHOOL DISTRICT
WHO OTHERWISE CANNOT PROVIDE FOR THEMSELVES
What we have learned these past 14 years is that basic needs vary with each family. We have
also learned that the Kirksville community is very proud of our students, our teachers and
administrators, and our schools. And they are willing to respond when called.
What we ask of you is that you work with our schools and seek their assistance if you truly
need some help. Help may be a temporary need or an ongoing situation.
If possible, every student should have the same opportunity and with your honest choices, we
can perhaps “level the playing field for all.”
Once school opens, if you find you’d like to visit with school personnel about when you might
qualify for assistance, please ask to visit with one of the following teachers:
High School Amy Love
Middle School Tiffany LaBeth
Ray Miller Sydney Byers
Primary Christine Aldridge
The I Think I Can Foundation

Inspired by the artist Claude Money and his gardens, the students of Kirksville Primary have created our Garden or "Notre Jardin." Each grade level was in charge of a different aspect of our collaborative project. Kindergarten created a peaceful pond with waterlilies, koi, and goldfish. First grade worked hard to create a rainbow with a variety of flowers. Finally, the garden visitors were created by the second grade. We hope you love this work of art as much as we do. -Ms. Halter #KVProud
