This Friday (Sept 7th) is the first one. Our wonderful PTSA has set up an agreement with the Village Inn (4800W 3500S) for the first friday of every month. 10% of what they make that night (5-8pm) will go directly to our school for much needed supplies. Please, we want a huge crowd there each time for our school support. If you are involved with a club or extracurricular activity please get your whole group to go. Ms. McBeth and the band is helping out for the month of September. See you all Friday!
Our school has a Community Council that is made up of elected parents and elected teachers to represent our community and promote student achievement. We need parents interested in being a representative in school matters to come and get involved. To be eligible a parent must have a student enrolled in the school for at least one of the years (two year term) and may not be employed by the school for more than an average of six hours per week per month. Elections will take place within the next month. If you would like to be on the Community Council then this page has applications to print, or you can contract our principal for more information about the Council or how you can help our students be ready for college, career and life.
We hope all our students had an excellent summer and can still remember everything you learned last year. School begins August 27th. You should have received your schedule in the mail already (or soon). Find where your locker is before school starts and then make your way to your advisory class. There have been some changes over the summer to our school and we have high hopes for this year. Again- we hope you had a great summer, and we are all excited to start another great year.

Students and parents: Kennedy will be having one last book fair this year from May 17th to the 29th. It's a Buy 1 Get 1 Free book fair so all the savings are given to you!!! The fair will be open before and after school. Take this opportunity to purchase books for the summer so you won't be part of the summer reading slump. Happy reading!!
The end of the year CRT testing will begin on April 23rd. Please make sure that your student will be able to attend all of their testing sessions. Please avoid scheduling appointments during school hours when your student is testing. These tests are very important. Data is gathered to show how much students have learned throughout the year and assist in placing them in appropriate courses for the following year. Make sure your student has a good night's sleep before and a good breakfast the morning of their tests. Students can get a schedule of days they will be testing from their teachers (math, science, English) in order to plan ahead.
The next two nights to head to Village Inn are March 16 and April 20. This is the Village Inn at 3500South and 4800West. Go between 5-8 PM and tell them you are there to support our school. Part of the money made that night will help our school.
