Kennedy Families: Campus Safety and Visitor Reminder
Dear Kennedy Families,
Student safety is our highest priority. To maintain a safe and secure campus, please review our arrival, dismissal, and visitor procedures.
Arrival and Dismissal
During morning arrival from 7:30–8:00 a.m., students may exit the vehicle and walk into school independently, or families may walk students to the entrance gate.
* Families may not pass the gate during morning arrival or after-school dismissal unless they are following an approved procedure.
* Pre-K and ALC families may continue walking their students to class throughout the school year.
* The final day for kindergarten families to walk students to class is Wednesday, August 5.
Beginning Thursday, August 6, kindergarten families may walk students to the gate but may not enter the campus.
* If your child needs additional assistance entering school, please contact the front office so we can develop a supportive arrival plan.
**Visitors and Student Items**
* All visitors must report to the front office, present a valid photo ID, sign in, and wear a visitor badge.
* Lunches, schoolwork, and other student items must be dropped off at the front office. Staff will ensure that the items are delivered.
* Family lunch visits are permitted only during designated family events or when approved in advance by school administration.
Thank you for helping us keep Kennedy safe, welcoming, and focused on learning. Please call the front office at **602-232-4220** with any questions.
