Last week, you received a link from our Community Engagement team to complete the Alternate Income Eligibility Form.
✨ Why it matters: The information collected helps our school receive the funding we need for programs, resources, and services that support all students.
✅ If you have not done so already, please take a few minutes to fill out the form—your support makes a big difference for our Kennedy scholars!

🚸 Crossing Guard Needed!
Kennedy is looking for a Crossing Guard to help keep our students safe before and after school. The Crossing Guard supports safe pedestrian traffic at the crosswalk and ensures students get to and from school safely each day.
If you or someone you know is interested, please contact the school office for more information. Training is provided. Please apply by clicking the link : https://www.applitrack.com/roosevelt/onlineapp/default.aspx?Category=Support+Staff+-+School+Based

Any child of school age (2-18) can be scheduled at any one of nine clinics to come get their physical at no cost until August 30th. If a child does not have insurance, they first schedule them with the eligibility team at no cost and will then schedule their no cost physical.
We want to make sure families take advantage of this to begin and continue their school year as healthy as possible.
Things a back-to-school/sports physical include:
• A well-child check-up
• Vision and hearing exam
• Optional visits with a registered dietitian or behavioral health specialist
• Sports physicals with all AIA paperwork included
• And more!
Families can call 24/7 to schedule. (602) 243-7277

For the safety and independence of our scholars, we are asking that only ALC and Pre-Kindergarten parents walk students to and from their classrooms during arrival and dismissal.
Parents of all other grades ( kindergarten - 3rd grade) may walk students to the front gate or use the vehicle drop-off lane, where our wonderful Kennedy staff will be ready to guide them safely to class. 💙
Thank you for helping us keep arrival smooth, safe, and student-centered! 🚸✨
