Hello Kirtland Families,

I want to take a moment to reflect on the tremendous efforts and achievements of our students, staff, and the entire school community this semester. I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to all who contribute to the success and growth of our students. 

First, I want to recognize the hard work and dedication of our amazing teachers and staff. Their commitment to providing the highest level of education, care, and support for our students is truly inspiring. They have worked tirelessly to ensure our students are not only growing academically but also developing a variety of skills necessary for success in life.

I also want to highlight the incredible progress our students have made. Their hard work and willingness to help others has been tremendous. From classroom achievements to extracurricular successes, our students continue to demonstrate the best of what it means to be a Kirtland Hornet.

Finally, none of this would be possible without the unwavering support of our families and community. Your partnership, encouragement, and involvement are key to helping our students thrive. Whether you’ve volunteered in classrooms, supported extracurricular activities, or simply been there to cheer on your children, your contribution makes a world of difference.

As we head into the winter break, I encourage you all to take time to rest and enjoy the season with your loved ones. The work we do together to support our students is vital, and I am so grateful for the collective strength and dedication we all bring to our school district.

Thank you again for your continued support. Wishing you and your families a joyful and peaceful holiday season. 

Sincerely,

Chad VanArnhem, Superintendent
