Have a Great Weekend!

Dear Kennebunk High School Families:


I hope that everyone is enjoying our 1st snow day of the year and an unexpected 3 day weekend. When I woke up this morning we had about 6" of snow at the house. Even though it is still snowing it appears to be tapering off at this point. If you go out in the snow please travel safely and exercise caution.


We are currently in the midst of exam week. Due to the storm today Blocks 3 & 4 White exams will take place on Monday. The schedule is as follows:

Block 3 (White) 7:45 - 9:15

Break/Breakfast 9:15 - 9:45

Block 4 (White) 9:45 - 11:15

Make-up 11:45 - 2:00


Please check PowerSchool schedules for 2nd semester to make sure of your upcoming schedule as some things may have changed.



Identification:

When entering the building during school hours visitors will be required to scan their license into our Indent-a-Kid software. This is a precaution that all schools are required to abide by.

Community Resources

In a moment of crisis, you do not have to be alone.

Sometimes you need a conversation--not an internet search.


Dial 2-1-1 for the Maine Hotline. This service can help with issues like acute crisis, financial assistance, mental health, addiction treatment, health care, or heating and utilities assistance. Additionally, the national Suicide Hotline is 9-8-8. Below is a list of resources.
