Message from our Head of School:

Raiders, Our community has experienced much by way of the storm last week, but I walk away with a profound amount of pride in the way so many have rallied to serve their neighbors. I also want to speak on the utility crews that have worked tirelessly to return power to so many of us over the past few days. So many people have put in so much effort to bring our community back up and running. After assessing our facilities and talking with local officials, we have determined that our plan is to return to school on Monday, 2/2. Our school was without power for a short time, but aside from that our facilities remain in great shape and will be a safe, warm place for our staff and students. That said, we know every family’s situation is different and plan on operating with an abundance of grace. We value the safety of our staff and students above all else, so if any family deems it unsafe or unwise for their student to return due to the effects of the storm, their absences this week will not count against them. In that case, if you will just let the office and your student's teachers know, we will accommodate. Again, I am proud of our community's resilience through this storm. If there is anything at all that Kirk Academy can do to serve your family, please do not hesitate to let us know. God Bless and Go Raiders, Rob Shillito Head of School

Serving Our Community

Our students showed up with big hearts and helping hands. They came together to prepare snacks and bottled water for individuals and families at the warming center and shelter. Moments like these remind us how powerful compassion can be. Thank you to all that helped and donated items for us to be able to serve our community! We are so proud of our students!
