Kettering Principal's Bulletin
August 2020
Dear Families,
Welcome to our 2020/2021 School year. As we start on-line for the fall of 2020 we are creating memories that will be with us for years to come. Although our year may look different from others, we still have exciting opportunities ahead of us. Our amazing teachers are ready to welcome our fabulous Kettering KIDS and we are excited to bring about a Kettering community in new and different ways. Remember we are “The Best Little School in Long Beach” and we will shine!
