Also, don’t forget that this Friday is our Winter Pep Rally! We will be following a modified bell schedule for the day.

The Kennedy Hall of Fame Dinner will be held at the Argyle Country Club on February 8. Tickets are now on sale and available via the Kennedy High School website.

Reminder, students should wear their student ID daily to avoid any replacement charges.

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!
