Week of August 26, 2019
Schedule Changes and Zero Period
If there are other schedule concerns or questions, please send an email to BOTH Mrs. Leonardo, cleonardo@rcsdk8.net, and myself, sadler@rcsdk8.net, and one of us will respond.
As far as zero period, we are waiting until the electives are settled this week to assign zero periods, which will hopefully start the second week of September. My fear is that we didn't receive all of the elective forms from the spring, which had students' selections. Also, some of you weren't enrolled at Kennedy. So if you want to make sure we have your request, I recommend filling out this digital form: https://forms.gle/wHZN2QbjxYa2gSRu6
PE Dressing Out Starts Monday
If your student hasn't purchased a lock, we will continue to sell those on Monday ($5 for new ones and $2 for used ones) in the office. The lock can be used for all three years at Kennedy. It needs to be one of ours so we can help the students' open them if they lose the combination.
If the shirt/lock is an absolute financial hardship, please contact the Family Center or myself and we will work with you.
Thank you to Merrily Robinson and Roy Dorling, who have been working really hard to fulfill all of the orders.
Opening Assemblies
Attendance/Appointment Procedures
If your student needs to leave during the day for an appointment, you need to come into the office and sign your student out. If your student returns during the day, you need to come sign your student back in. Your student needs to get a pass from an office staff member at that time to enter class.
STAR Test
Kennedy Music Disney Trip - For Advanced Band and 8th Grade Advanced Orchestra Students
It is important to be in attendance because we need to find out the likeliness of making this trip happen! Please let me Mrs. Federico-Youngs know if you cannot attend, and she will make sure that you get all of the information!
Bronstein Rental Program Night
Bronstein Music Store is offering a rental program to Redwood City School District students. They will hold a Rental Program Night on Wednesday, August 28, from 6:00-7:30 P.M. at Kennedy Middle School in the Music Room at the front of the school. You must bring a credit card or a check with you to the rental sign up night in order to receive an instrument.
