Hello Kenny Families,
We are really rocking this school year! It has been one of the best starts to a school year I
have had in over 26 years in Minneapolis Public Schools. Our schedules and routines allow
for maximum instruction time and we are able to provide even more support for children
who need help. The children are extremely engaged and enjoying learning.
This Friday is our first Student of the Month (SOM) assembly. It is one of the many ways we
love celebrating learning at Kenny School. SOM is one of many aspects of our Positive School
wide Engagement Plan. The plan is actually on page 40 and 41 Of the Handbook-calendar that
was sent home last Wednesday. The Handbook Calendar is a great resource and provides
many overviews of the programming we provide at Kenny School.
Today at Kenny School we conducted out first lock down drill of the year. We conducted a fire
drill at the very beginning of the year. Every Minneapolis school is required to conduct a mini-
mum of 5 fire and lock drills and one tornado drill each school year. The teachers and staff do
a great job making sure the children know how and why we conduct these important drills.
Please watch the school calendar and website closely. There are many activities coming in-
cluding picture day next week. Conferences are only a few short weeks away and we hope all
families have scheduled a time. If you do not have a time scheduled, please contact your
child’s teacher.
As always, thanks for everything you do to make Kenny the amazing community school it is.
STUDENT DROP OFF: The staff is respectfully requesting students be dropped off at the front door in the morning.
Teachers need to be able to greet and assist children.
Students become more responsible and gain inde-pendence when allowed to walk to the classroom on their own.
Children have morning work assignments that need to be completed before the morning meeting that starts at 8:10.
Thank you for your help with this as it allows us to give your children our undivided attention for greetings and assistance with morning work and routines. Children will be admitted to the building at 7:50am. All adults entering the building must sign in at the office.
TRANSPORTATION: Send Information to School when: 1. You have an address or daycare change. 2. If you are picking up your child and they usually ride a bus, they must be signed out in the office even with advanced notice. 3. Your student is using a different bus stop. 4. Your student is going home with another student. (Note: we need notification from BOTH families).
Information will be sent home when: 1. Your student has been added to a bus route.
2. The bus stop for your student has had a change in lo-
cation.
3. The IN bus stop for your student has had a cumulative
time change of five minutes or more. Changes can become effective any day of the week so
watch for the effective dates on the notices sent home
with your student.
From the Office
ATTENDANCE:
Call the Attendance line (612-668-3346) when your student will be absent.
Doctors or dentists notes should be brought into school when the student returns to the building. Your help with this is appreciated.
