December 12, 2023
Dear Cirby Families,
As we approach the Winter Break, I wanted to take a moment to extend warm greetings to each and every one of you. It's been an incredible first half of the school year, filled with achievements, growth, and memorable moments. As we embark on the holiday season, I wanted to share some important updates and reminders with you.
First and foremost, I want to celebrate the hard work and dedication of our students, teachers, and staff. Together, we've achieved significant milestones, and our school community continues to thrive.
Winter Break will start on Thursday, December 21, 2023 and students will return Monday, January 8, 2024. During this time, I encourage all families to take the opportunity to rest, rejuvenate, and spend quality time together. It's a chance to step back from the routine and embrace the joy of the holiday season.
As we bid farewell to 2023 and welcome the new year, I'm excited about the possibilities and opportunities that lie ahead for Cirby. Your ongoing support and partnership are invaluable, and I'm confident that together, we will continue to create a positive and nurturing environment for our students.
Warmly,
Farah Friend | Principal

Staff Spotlight π¦
Please meet Ms. Briana!
I am so proud to be able to serve the students, staff and families of Cirby! My father-in-law, husband, and daughters have attended or will attend Cirby. Three generations of Cirby Eagles!
Our three girls keep us busy with their sports and most of the time we are on either a softball or soccer field. When I'm not coaching or cheering on my kids I enjoy outdoor adventures, cuddling with our two dogs, or reading a good book.
PTC Corner
PBIS Corner
Cirby School prides itself on our PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports) system. We wanted to start this PBIS Corner in the newsletter so you get a better understanding about what it is, how we use it, and give you an opportunity to see how itβs working.
So, our first PBIS Corner is to remind everyone of the expectations we follow at Cirby: Show Respect, Make Good Decisions, and Solve Problems.
Andβ¦have you seen or heard of blue tickets?
We give out blue tickets to students that are following our Cirby expectations. We draw names in the classroom each week as well as each month for super cool prizes. Ask your child about blue tickets!
