Recently, we rolled out the CalSchls Parent Survey to measure parent perception here at John F. Kennedy High School. We appreciate the time and effort into taking these surveys. Your answers will help us understand your perspective and we can work on addressing those needs in the coming school year. Together, we can create positive change.

More information can be found below. Additional languages can be found on the top right of the survey page. Here is the link: https://wested.ugam-apps.com/wested/ts/j3qu

You should have received an email about completing the Data Confirmation Portion on Aeries. This is really important for capturing the information necessary before Registration. Should you have any questions, you can reach out to our registrar rodriguez_gl@auhsd.us

We will also be hosting drop-in assistance in Room 108 on Mondays from 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm. Please see flyer below.

Recently, we had an impactful presentation on the epidemic of alcohol-related crashes here in the state of California. A disproportionate amount of those accidents AND those deaths involve teenagers. In collaboration with the La Palma Police Department, AUHSD Board of Trustees, Emergency Services, and Forest Home Memorial Center, we bring you this powerful presentation in order to shed light on this issue.

Parking Lot

Kennedy High School began a two-phase Solar Panel Project in the South (Student) Parking Lot. A portion of the South Parking Lot will be closed for 6-8 months. Therefore, student parking will be limited.

It is recommended that students are dropped off at school or carpool with other students. Thank you for your patience and we apologize for any inconvenience.

Parking permits are to be displayed at all times when parked in the Kennedy Student parking lot. Please see Mrs. Alvarez in the Student window if you are in need of a parking pass. You can find the application and fees HERE.

Please enjoy the latest issue of The Shamrock!
