 a welcome from principal chris hennings

Peter Kirk Families,

Welcome to the Peter Kirk Elementary community! Whether you’re new to our school or returning for another wonderful year, I’m delighted to have you here.

Since I arrived, I’ve been struck by the sense of genuine community that exists at Peter Kirk. I’ve noticed more waves from car windows at drop-off, more courteous gestures of kindness, and most importantly—more smiles. These small moments matter deeply. They model for our children what it means to be patient with one another, to extend grace when it’s needed most, and to work together for better outcomes for everyone.

At Peter Kirk, we believe that when families, staff, and students work in partnership, wonderful things happen. Your involvement—whether through volunteering, attending school events, or simply showing up with a positive attitude—directly strengthens our school community and enriches your child’s experience here.

I encourage you to connect with your classroom Connectors, join the PTSA, volunteer in our Co-Pilot program, and most importantly, know that you belong here. We’re building something special at Peter Kirk, and we’re grateful to have you as part of our community.

Looking forward to an outstanding year together.

Warmly,

Chris Hennings
