Kennedy is a middle-sized school.  Currently we have 890 students.  We have many rooms that fit mainly up to 32 students.  We have one gym and a new workout facility (ETS).

​

2. Is there an IB program at Kennedy?

​

We do not have an IB program at Kennedy.  In our school board, IB programs can be found at Riverside and Leamington.

​

3.  Is the ETS room available throughout day or is it more like a scheduled class?

​

ETS is available to ALL students of Kennedy before school and after school until 4:00 pm.  Our physical education and fitness classes use the facility during school time.

4. My child would be coming from French Immersion elementary with an IEP.  How often will help be provided for him, weekly? as needed? Also do we discuss his IEP prior to starting in Sept?

​

Our Learning Support Teacher (Ms. Maceroni) deals with all students with IEPs.  The IEP would be discussed prior to starting in September.  You would have the discussion with Ms. Maceroni about what help would look like and what all parties are comfortable with.  If you would like to touch base with Ms. Maceroni with specific questions, please feel free to email her at janet.maceroni@publicboard.ca .

Yes.  We have an announcement crew that lead the morning announcements.  There will be plenty of information in September to have you sign up!  We are always looking for energetic students!
