In advisement classes this week, your student received information about the Choice of Studies process. This is the time of year when students make their course requests for the upcoming (22-23) school year. Parents, please ask students about the COS Planning Sheet that they were given!
If your student is currently a sophomore and will be an 11th grader next year, they have the opportunity to join the IB Diploma Programme. There will be a virtual information session for interested families on Wednesday, February 2nd from 5:30-6:30 PM. The link to the session will be meet.google.com/qvj-sxec-mmz.

Please read below for communication regarding the Denver Public Schools protocol for requesting temporary remote learning. We are fortunate, here at Kennedy, to have the internal and guest teaching staff to cover all staff absences; therefore, I have not yet had to request temporary remote learning. When requesting temporary remote learning, school leaders consider these priorities:
-
Safety for students and staff.
-
Continuation of instruction and social-emotional learning for all students.
-
Keeping buildings open for students to minimize disruption to families’ schedules.
Learn more about DPS' temporary remote learning process here.
COVID UPDATE:
It is our priority to keep you informed of incidents related to safety. We want to make you aware that this week, we have 9 current students or staff members that have been diagnosed with COVID-19. We have notified those people who were in close contact with these individuals.
Each case of COVID-19 is interviewed by public health. As part of this public health investigation:
If you have any concerns about your health, we encourage you to contact the Denver Health School Based Health Center at 303-602-8958 (or your primary care provider) for further evaluation and possible testing.
