Principal's Message
JFK Families,
Thank you to all of the families who came to our Fall Parent/Teacher Conferences last week. Our Book Fair was another success as students found books that brought a renewed level of excitement to reading. Students were excited to share with parents all the great learning that takes place, and our hallways even had a few pieces of artwork up.
In October, it can be difficult to plan for the temperature changes that take place from the early morning hours to the late afternoon. Please reference the JFK Recess Outerwear Guidelines we have for students to ensure they are warm enough when outside at recess.
As a reminder, there is no school on the following days in November:
November 11th
November 25th
November 26th
November 27th
Take care and we hope to see you all on October 27th for our Ex-STREAM night.
