Dear Families,

Welcome to a new school year at Kennedy School! As principal, I am excited to partner with you in creating a learning environment that reflects the mission of Burbank School District 111, providing a high-quality education within a safe and secure environment. Our dedicated staff is committed to helping each child grow academically, socially, and emotionally as they discover their full potential and develop into responsible, life-long learners.

At Kennedy, we embrace the district’s core values by focusing on child-centric learning, building strong relationships with our families and community, and maintaining a nurturing, inclusive space where every student can thrive. We celebrate our students’ diverse backgrounds and promote open, respectful communication, knowing that collaboration between school and home is key to student success.

With a shared commitment to educational excellence, innovation, and continuous growth, we look forward to a year of joyful learning, meaningful connections, and new opportunities. Together, we are developing young minds for tomorrow!
