Dear Families,

 

Welcome to the start of an exciting new school year at Kennedy Elementary! I hope your summer was filled with fun and relaxation. As we begin this new chapter, I am thrilled to share some exciting updates and initiatives we have planned for this year.

 

First, I am excited to introduce our brand-new STEAM lab! This state-of-the-art facility will provide our students with hands-on experiences in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics. Through creative projects and collaborative problem-solving, our STEAM lab will inspire curiosity, innovation, and a love for learning. We can't wait to see our students' imaginations come to life in this dynamic space.

 

We are also proud to announce that our school has achieved PBIS Platinum status for the third year in a row! This recognition reflects our commitment to Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports, creating a safe, respectful, and supportive environment for all students. We believe that fostering a positive school climate is essential to student success, and this achievement is a testament to the hard work of our entire school community.

 

At Kennedy Elementary, we are dedicated to teaching the whole child. Our approach goes beyond academics to support social, emotional, and physical development. Whether through our new STEAM lab, our focus on positive behavior, or our commitment to arts and physical education, we strive to nurture well-rounded individuals who are ready to take on the challenges of the future.

 

We are excited to embark on this journey with you and your children. Your partnership is crucial to our success, and we look forward to working together to make this a fantastic year of growth and achievement for every student.

 

Thank you for your continued support of our school community. Here's to a wonderful year ahead!

 

Warm regards,

 

Eric Merkt
