School Tours
We will begin school tours for potential incoming Kennedy students in December. Some have asked why we haven’t started sooner like some of the other schools. The directive was to wait until after meet RCSD Night in January, so I was following the directive given. We are now all allowed to start touring. Here are the dates:
Thursday, December 5, 8:30 am, Library
Tuesday, December 17, 8:30 am, Library
Thursday, January 16, 8:30 am, Library
Friday, January 24, 8:30 am, Library
*For families who can’t make any of these dates/times and want more information about the school can contact the office to setup a meeting time with me.

Conferences
Dress Code Reminders
Please be sure that your student is dressed appropriately for school and following school dress code rules. When students aren’t dressed appropriately it can be a distraction for other students. Some of the main things we are seeing are: jeans with excessively big holes/rips, students wearing red shirts and trying to hide them under sweatshirts, midriffs showing, and pajama bottoms. Your student will be asked to change and/or families will be called to bring a change of clothes.
