Parents, we ask for your support in reinforcing our school policy with your students. To ensure the safety of all, please be reminded that Kennedy is a closed campus, and students are not permitted to leave the building during lunch.
Additionally, we remind you that school begins at 7:45 AM, and students are expected to be in their first class at this time.
Thank you all for your support!
