Kenwood Community School Calendar

Happy Conference Week, Everyone!

We're thrilled to be partnering with you in support of our students' learning and growth. We deeply appreciate your time and care during conferences. Just a quick reminder that we'll all enjoy a well-deserved fall break after conferences this evening and tomorrow. There is no school for students on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday this week.

Thank you to the Kenwood PTA for providing nourishment to our school staff on conference days. We feel well loved and appreciated!

As we synthesize the complexities of the world these days, I treasure the gifts that our students and families bring to Kenwood every day. We are a racially, linguistically, socio-economically, and culturally diverse school community that welcomes everyone who walks through our doors. You belong here. You make us a better place to learn and grow. I'm so proud to be your principal.

With gratitude,

Heidi
