Coffee with the Principal- 5/1

I am pleased to announce the last Coffee with the Principal event of the 2023-2024 school year!

Please join us in a casual setting to talk about upcoming events, such as the last day of school and registration. This is a great opportunity to ask questions and to get to know your principal better!

Afterwards, we will be having a Parent Learning Walk to show both returning and incoming parents our amazing campus! There is no need to register before. Hope to see you there!

Exciting news for current and incoming Kennedy students!

We would like to officially present the dates and times for registration. Beginning July 22nd, each grade will have an assigned day they can attend to complete their registration. A makeup day will be offered on 7/26 for anyone who missed their registration dates.

For any students and parents/guardians new to Kennedy, we are hosting an informational orientation. For incoming parents, we are offering two opportunities to attend an orientation. You only need to attend one.

We are excited to grow and expand our Fighting Irish community!

The TGR Learning Lab offers interactive, career-focused STEM experiences for middle and high school students during the summer months.

STEM-based courses and workshops are offered for students in 5th – 12th grade including engineering, photography, computer science and more. Students also have the opportunity to participate in college prep workshops and our annual College Bound Academy.

Registration is open for their summer courses. Here is the link to register. Deadline is Friday, May 31st.

Recently, we had an impactful presentation on the epidemic of alcohol-related crashes here in the state of California. A disproportionate amount of those accidents AND those deaths involve teenagers. In collaboration with the La Palma Police Department, AUHSD Board of Trustees, Emergency Services, and Forest Home Memorial Center, we bring you this powerful presentation in order to shed light on this issue.

Parking Lot

Kennedy High School began a two-phase Solar Panel Project in the South (Student) Parking Lot. A portion of the South Parking Lot will be closed for 6-8 months. Therefore, student parking will be limited.

It is recommended that students are dropped off at school or carpool with other students. Thank you for your patience and we apologize for any inconvenience.

Parking permits are to be displayed at all times when parked in the Kennedy Student parking lot. Please see Mrs. Alvarez in the Student window if you are in need of a parking pass. You can find the application and fees HERE.

Please enjoy the latest issue of The Shamrock!
