Dear Kennedy Catholic Families,
Thank you for joining us for last night's Virtual Curriculum Night opening session. I appreciated the opportunity to address you and all our parents/guardians - albeit through Zoom. My first weeks at Kennedy Catholic have been a great blessing, and I deeply appreciate the warm welcome.
In case you couldn't join us the Virtual Curriculum Night Opening Session is available for Lancer families to review here!
Families who have not had the opportunity to pickup class materials should contact their student's teacher directly by email to schedule a pickup time.
The Distance Learning Schedule includes a late start every Unified Day. The 00 period is strictly for students enrolled in Jazz Band. Students not enrolled in Jazz Band will begin their Unified Day at 9:00am.
This year's Club Fair will take place on Monday, September 28 during Community Period. More information to come!
Sign up for the Student Activities Remind101 and encourage your students to do the same! You will receive updates regarding Student Activities such as assembly and spirit week reminders. To sign up, text @kclancers to number 81010. Please email Ms. Cacabelos with questions.
Have a student interested in joining Student Government? Encourage your Lancer to apply to be an ASB or Class Executive! To learn more, send your student to their "Class of" Canvas page for details on the 2020-20201 election process!
Do you know a current 8th grade student who would be a great addition to the Lancer Family? Invite them to:
The athletic department is collecting all uniforms and team-issued gear/equipment from last year's winter and spring sports seasons.
Bring your clean uniform sealed in a bag and labeled on the outside with your name and sport. Related equipment should also be labeled/returned. There will be a large drop-off bin just inside the main-office doors. Please ensure you write your name and sport on the return sheet located beside the bin.
Please email Ms. Umeda with questions.
Save the Date! Tuition Assistance applications for the 2021 - 2022 school year will open October 1.

We are temporarily modifying our protocol for requesting a pre-arranged absence. This process is intended to ensure all concerned parties are aware, in advance, of a student's planned absence (vacation, family emergency, college visits, etc.).
Please select "Read More" for more information.
Host Families please encourage your student to check-in with the Office of International Education. Each student has been assigned to a staff mentor who will check-in on them regularly in the coming weeks. If you have any questions or concerns about your student please email the Office of International Education as soon as possible.
Please select "Read More" for a detailed check-in schedule.
To excuse an absence, a parent/guardian must contact the Campus Life Office by 206.246.3787 or attend@kennedyhs.org before 9am, the day of the absence. When contacting the Campus Life Office, please provide your student's name, year in school and reason for absence. Students who are absent without a phone call or email will be considered truant.
In light of COVID-19, some revisions have been made to the 30-hour junior year ISLE requirement. We recognize the great many needs in our communities and that serving the wider community is not always possible or safe for our students. Please visit us here to learn more about COVID-19 ISLE revisions.
If you were unable to join us for Mass of the Holy Spirit we invite you to watch the recording here.
Please encourage your student to sign-up for the NACAC (National Association for College Admission Counseling) college fair here. Over 600 colleges and universities will be present and available to answer questions!

Please email your student's counselor with any questions.
