Dear Kenwood Families,
I hope you have had an enjoyable summer. I want to personally welcome you to Kenwood School and look forward to meeting you as we begin the 2025/26 school year. At Kenwood, we are dedicated to providing students with a safe and structured learning environment that fosters a positive educational experience. We are committed to helping each student realize his or her own potential for success. Success at school is very much dependent upon a strong relationship and we value our connections with our families and encourage communication between home and school. I look forward to sharing a weekly parent message to highlight the activities happening at Kenwood and to keep you informed about important upcoming events at school and within the district.
We are just over a week away from the start of the school year. We invite your family to join us for our annual Back to School Bash scheduled for Thursday, August 7 from 5:30 to 7:00pm. We will be meeting on the South side of the school where families will meet staff members, enjoy some food, Kona Ice, games and music. We look forward to seeing you there for this fun event. The following week we look forward to welcoming our students. Please see the following dates for our students start:
Tuesday, August 12 - First day of school for students in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade. Parent conferences for Kindergarten students.
Wednesday, August 13 - First day of school for half of our Kindergarten students.
Thursday, August 14 - First day of school for the second half of our Kindergarten students.
