Additional Resources/Updates for the Extended Spring Break

Hello Commanders,

JFK is striving to keep our families as informed as possible whenever we receive additional information regarding our current situation. At this time, we wanted to provide additional clarification to those students who are participating in Concurrent Enrollment courses at John F. Kennedy High School this current semester.

With our college partners on extended Spring Break as well, students currently taking Concurrent Enrollment course need to reach out directly to their professor or access the website for the college which they are attending to get information about their class and expectations for completing work.  If you need support getting information or connecting with your college partner, please feel free to email our Assistant Principal at Jason_ortiz@dpsk12.org.

We would also like to share some additional resources to help our families through these challenging times. To access each resource, please click the blue hyperlinked word.
