Our children are off to a great start thanks to your help and the great work of the teachers and staff here at Kennedy-Curry Middle School where “we seek to be the premier middle school in the nation”. Please be aware that your children are now entering into a very busy time of the year. There will be various activities, events, and organizations that students will have an opportunity to participate in. Student eligibility for these privileges will depend on a combined assessment of their discipline and academic record. So please encourage your child to practice good behavior as well as work hard to achieve academic success. We are all here to support you. Take Care – Principal Taylor!!
