September Message from Principal Armstrong 🐾
Hi Kennedy Cougars!
Welcome back to school! Our teachers and staff have missed you, and we are so excited to welcome you back into the building!
We are ready to begin a new year filled with learning, exploring, fun, and care. At Kennedy, we believe in creating a school where every student feels supported, valued, and encouraged to grow.
Please know that we are always here for you. Together, we will continue the Kennedy tradition of high expectations, academic excellence, and opportunities for all students.
We can't wait to see all that you will learn, accomplish, and become this year!
Welcome back, Cougars! Let's make it a great year!
Believe. Belong. Become.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Armstrong
Reading Survey
As part of ACT 20 reading legislation, we are required to conduct a family reading history for students in grades K-3. We know every child learns in their own way and we want to work with you to help your child become a strong reader. Please complete the survey in NextPath to help us understand your child's reading habits, strengths and needs so we can support them at school. The survey is 7 questions and will only take a few minutes to complete. Your input is important and invaluable! Here is a link for logging into NextPath.
