Principal's Message

Dear JFK Learning Community,  

          Welcome to John F. Kennedy Intermediate School.  JFK is committed to provide a safe environment for all students to thrive and grow.  We strive not only to educate students, but also instill good character. JFK is a warm and caring environment where your child will learn, grow, and develop each day.  We strive to develop educated students of good character who are respectful, responsible, and caring. 

          Each day, we realize that when you send your child off to school, there is a hope that the day will be a happy and rewarding one and that during the day, your child will be engaged in meaningful learning experiences that will assist them in building a solid future.  There is a hope that friendships will be born and continue to flourish and that, at the end of the school day, your child will return home safely and have a good feeling about themselves and their accomplishments.  Our experienced staff is committed to providing each student with an academically rigorous curriculum in a warm and caring environment.  One of our goals here at JFK is to foster independence while nurturing students to develop their ability to think critically, collaborate, and communicate. 

          Parental and community support enhances the quality of your child’s education. We hope you will visit our school often and participate in the many activities we, along with our PFC, provide to your child and your family.  Volunteers are always needed and always welcome.  We know that your involvement combined with the efforts of our outstanding dedicated faculty will make your child’s school experience a successful one.  Please join us in building a strong learning community. The faculty, staff and I welcome you to a new school year. Together we will create a bright and energetic experience that will ensure the success for all at JFK.
 
            If you have any ideas on how we may support the learning of our students, my door is always open to you, please feel free to contact me. 
 
 
                                                                                                                          Sincerely,
