Bus evacuation drills for the semester will be completed on school grounds Tuesday, October 31, 2023. During on campus, morning drop-offs, all bus riders will learn safe evacuation procedures from their drivers, then practice exiting the bus quickly, quietly, and safely. Various teachers and staff will be on hand to assist drivers and monitor students during the process.
Bus evacuation drills are required by the State of Missouri to ensure that students are aware of what to do in an emergency situation.
No school on Friday, October 27, 2023 for students, paras, and teachers. Have a safe and restful three day weekend!
October is National Principals Month and we are taking time to appreciate all of our building principals and assistant principals here at Kirksville R-III. Today we spotlight Mrs. Nicole Marshall at RME!
Mrs. Marshall would like to assert her fifth amendment right when asked if she was ever sent to the principal's office as a student. We respect that. It keeps us guessing!
There is no question that Mrs. Marshall is at home at RME and loving her new role there as principal. Thank you Mrs. Marshall for everything you do as an educational leader for our students, staff, and community! #kvproud #kvtigers #welovekirksville
Sorry students, you have the day off tomorrow; however, teachers get to be here for professional development on Friday, October 20, 2023. Have a safe three day weekend!
October is National Principals Month and we are taking time to appreciate all of our building principals and assistant principals here at Kirksville R-III. Today we spotlight Mrs. Amee Jones at RME!
We asked her if she ever had to go to the principal's office as a student herself. Mrs. Jones replied, "Only one time, and it definitely wasn't my fault!"
That sounds like a really good hook for a writing piece that your RME students would love to hear, or even help you write, Mrs. Jones! Thank you for everything you do as an educational leader for our students, staff, and community! #kvproud #kvtigers #welovekirksville

Help still being sought! The lack of enough bus drivers is still heavily impacting our partner company EccoRide's ability to deliver timely transportation for our students. This graphic outlines the process of becoming a paid driver.
On behalf of EccoRide and the District we apologize for the afternoon bus delays . We greatly appreciate your patience through this first day transition. A major part of the delays were caused by the safety checks being held at each stop. With new drivers being unfamiliar with the students, they are stopping at each location for a safety check to verify each student is the correct one to be let off at that location. Again your patience is much appreciated. We are confident it will get much better especially as additional drivers are being added.
NEWS RELEASE
KIRKSVILLE R-III SCHOOL DISTRICT
Enhanced School Security
Superintendent Robert Webb announced today part of the Kirksville R-III School Districts continuing efforts to strengthen security measures across the KVR-III schools. In the spring of 2023 results from a more than 600-page audit of the district safety procedures and equipment was presented to the Administration.
One element of the audit was the need to strengthen district protocols regarding visitors to each of the six school buildings. Included in those findings was the need to deploy an efficient identification validation and check-in process for those who enter a school beyond the office area.
Beginning August 22, 2023 all schools will have in place a system provided by KIDaccount whose software includes a visitor management process that we will require of all visitors to the schools during times when students are in session.
Each building will be equipped with a sign-in digital kiosk in the front entrance or office of the building. All visitors will need to sign in at the kiosk. To further ensure that guests are properly authorized for contact with individual students, when signing in each person will need to provide a government issued photo ID, preferably a driver’s license, to be allowed further entrance to the building.
We understand this process is new and may seem a little inconvenient at the beginning, but we are excited and confident that KIDaccount will bring an additional layer of security to each of our schools. We are grateful in advance for your understanding and patience. Additional information for parents can be found through this link.
