Principal
Dear Families,
 
Welcome to a new school year at Kennedy School! As I begin my second year as principal, I am excited to continue partnering with you to create 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 remains committed to helping each child grow academically, socially, and emotionally as they discover their full potential and develop into responsible, lifelong learners.
 
At Kennedy, we embrace the district's core values by focusing on child-centered learning, building strong relationships with our families and community, and maintaining a nurturing and inclusive environment where every student can thrive. We celebrate the diverse backgrounds of our students and value open, respectful communication, recognizing that a strong partnership between school and home is essential to student success.
 
As we begin this new school year together, I am grateful for the opportunity to continue serving the Kennedy community. Building on the successes of last year, we look forward to a year filled with joyful learning, meaningful connections, and new opportunities for growth. Together, we are developing young minds for tomorrow!
 
Sincerely,
Ms. Teri Zaker
