John F. Kennedy Middle School
The Middle School Connection
Welcome!
Hello and welcome to the Middle School Connection. This is a different format that what has been used in the past, but I hope that it provides you all with useful information about the happenings at JFK Middle School.
Thank you to all of our JFK families for being patient as we reopened our doors. We know that the school closure in the Spring was very difficult and while this school year is quite different, we are so excited to be back in the swing of things.
Student Drop-Off & Pick-Up
Student safety is our top priority for drop-off in the morning and pick-up in the afternoon. Please look at the traffic pattern in the picture below. The red line indicates cars entering the back parking lot to drop off students or pick them up. The yellow dots show where the students will be waiting for their ride at the end of the day. Please pull all the way forward when dropping your student off or picking them up. This will keep the traffic moving quickly. The black arrow shows how you will exit back out to Cayuga Creek Road. Thank you for helping keep our students safe by following this routine.
Creating a Parent Portal Account on eSchool
If you have not already done so, please make sure you setup a Parent Portal account on eSchool. I included a brief video about how this can be done. Here you will be able to keep track of your child's academic progress. Use the link below to get to the Parent Portal.

Attendance
Attendance is being monitored very closely, whether your child is learning in the hybrid or remote model. Please note that if your child is in the hybrid model, they are only marked present if they are in school on the day they are supposed to be here. Remote students have until the end of the day to complete assignments in order to be marked present for a class.
