In collaboration with MPS Office of Latine Achievement, this orientation will cover important information about how to reach Kenwood staff, explain the school day, share external resources, and answer questions. We hope to see you there!

Please download the below files to view newsletters from our Kenwood specialists.

The 4th grade Brother Ghana performance will take place next Wednesday, Feb. 14, at 2:30 p.m. Families are encouraged to attend! Caregivers are also welcome to stop by the book fair before or after the performance.

The kindergarten and first grade concert is next week Thursday. Please supervise children until they are called up to the risers. We will start promptly at 6 p.m. and end no later than 6:45. Hopefully this will give your children and you time to rest a little after school, change into something that they like to wear for special occasions, and eat.

Please contact Ms. Sue Pehrson with any questions at Suzanne.pehrson@mpls.k12.mn.us.

Please contact your child's classroom teacher to schedule your child's conference. If you need transportation to attend conferences, please contact School Secretary Danielle Sanders at 612-668-2760 or danielle.sanders@mpls.k12.mn.us by Friday, Feb. 16.

We'll provide muffins/yoghurt/fruit and coffee for breakfast, and then pizza, veggies and dip, desserts and drinks for a dinner that staff can grab whenever they have a break.

Please see the sign-up to make contributions, or to contribute financially (any amount truly helps!) Venmo @ashly-dull.

If you need to drop items off early, please email ashlydull@gmail.com to coordinate. Thank you!

Volunteers help students open milk cartons and wrappers, support positive interactions among students by having conversations with and among our young Woodchucks, pass out napkins and utensils, and help clean the tables before the next group of students enter the lunchroom.

Please sign up for a shift here. If you have any questions about lunch volunteering or would like to come on a different day, please reach out to Kelly Henry at kellybhenry@gmail.com. Thank you!

The Scholastic Book Fair returns to Kenwood Media Center next week! On Monday and Tuesday, students will have the opportunity to preview the book fair with their classmates. The book fair opens Wednesday and Thursday for student shopping throughout the school day. Caregivers may also shop the book fair Wednesday from 4 to 6 p.m. or Thursday from 9:15 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Kenwood Spirit Wear will be available for purchase.

We are still recruiting adult volunteers to help with set up and clean up, and to work during the book fair, assisting with preview days and shopping days. It's a lot of fun! Please review the volunteer sign-up link to see if a timeslot works with your schedule. If you have any questions, please reach out to Marstal Aamodt at (619) 572-3412 or marstal.aamodt@gmail.com.

Our lost and found is overflowing! Please take a look while you are here for events and conferences in the coming weeks to see if you recognize any missing items.

In addition, a reminder to please label all items so we can reunite them with their owners. If you are looking for strong adhesive stick on labels, consider shopping with Mabel's Labels. When you're ready to checkout, you'll see a search field to look up your school, daycare, or camp. Type in "Kenwood" and select the first option for Kenwood Community School. With your purchase, Kenwood will receive a commission through Mabel's Labels fundraising program.
