Dear Kenwood Families,
Happy Friday! We have a busy week ahead as we look to celebrate our teachers during Teacher Appreciation Week! We applaud our teachers and all they do to support our students. Please take a moment to thank your child’s teacher for their efforts.
Next week, our students will also be taking the MAP spring assessment. This assessment measures our students' growth in Reading and Math. We will also be doing our School Evacuation Drill on Friday, May 9th.

Kenwood will be conducting our building evacuation drill on May 9th and we will be evacuating to our evacuation site, Centennial High School. Please be advised that this drill will be taking part at the end of the day and office staff will not be in the office to take your calls. If you are wanting to pick up your child on this day it will need to be before 12:45pm. If weather does not permit our drill, we will reschedule for May 16th. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out.

Just a reminder that we are asking students to remove hats and hoodies once they enter the school building.
Have a great weekend,
Dr. Trevor Nadrozny
