Friendly Reminders
Kennedy High School began a two phase Solar Panel Project in the South (Student) Parking Lot. This means that a portion of the South Parking Lot will be closed for between 6-8 months.
Therefore, student parking will be limited. It is recommended that students be dropped off at school or carpool with other students. Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.
Students, please make sure you bring your Chromebooks or personal computing devices to school everyday, fully charged and ready to be used. It is very important to do this as you may be using these devices for various courses at our school. In addition, please start building the habit of charging your Chromebooks or personal devices every night to ensure it is ready the day after. It is always greatly appreciated that a student comes prepared.
Parents/Guardians and families, please make sure your child brings their Chromebooks or personal computing devices to school everyday, fully charged and ready to be used. It is very important to do this as you may be using these devices for various courses at our school. Please remind your child every night to charge their devices and pack it in their backpacks for the morning. We very much appreciate your help in this and to help them build these positive habits as they go about this new school year.
If your student is in need of a hotspot to access the internet at home, please reach out to Ms.Neufarth Neufarth_m@auhsd.
