July Update

Dear families,

We hope you are having a wonderful summer and are staying cool!

Summer programs are underway here at Kennedy, and we are busy getting ready for the 26-27 school year!

Please take a few minutes to review the KMS Info Page for SY26-27.

We will be offering tours for any new students on Wednesday, August 5th at 10am and Tuesday, August 11th at 10am. (If you have a rising 6th grader, we did give tours both at Transition Night in April and during Step Up day on the last day of school - this will be similar to those.) If you have questions about this, please contact Ms. Sullivan and or Ms. Woogmaster.

As a reminder, students should be working through their summer reading and math (additional information below).

Enjoy summer, and we will send another update in August.

Be kind!
KMS Admin Team
