Our first school event will be this Thursday from 6:00 to 8:00 pm. Families will be able to socialize from 6:00 to 7:00 pm. Then, the following information sessions will take place:
6th Grade Meet and Greet: 6PM – 8PM

Our 6th-grade families can meet and greet one another from 6:00 to 7:00 pm on the Kennedy blacktop area.
7th Grade Grand Canyon and Yosemite Info Meeting: 7PM – 8PM
Location: Gym
This school year our 7th-graders will go to the Grand Canyon in May. Next year they will go to Yosemite. The reason Yosemite is included in this year’s information session is so families can learn about the cost of the trip. We book the trip this school year for the following school year.

Our eighth-graders have a lot to look forward to this school year. Please join us in the library to learn about all the events leading up to 8th-grade graduation.

Direct Drive
Kennedy Middle School Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is a nonprofit volunteer organization (tax ID 47-1531115) whose mission is to help students thrive and grow into the next generation of community and business leaders. To support this mission, we raise funding and organize parent volunteers to help our school better serve its students.
Kennedy offers an array of programs to support our students’ social, emotional, physical and academic needs, many of which are funded by the efforts of the PTO.
In 2023/2024, our direct drive fundraising goal is $30,000. We are asking $200 per family, but please consider donating any amount that fits your personal financial situation. Whether it’s $25, $50, $100 or $1,000, every dollar helps us reach our fundraising goal and our students are worth our investment.
- Online donation options are on our donate page: https://kennedycougarspto.org/donate
- Check payments may be left in the PTO box inside the office or mailed to the school: Kennedy PTO, 2521 Goodwin Avenue, Redwood City, CA 94061. Please make checks payable to JFK Middle School PTO.
- Double your donation – check with your employer to see if they will match your generous donation.
- Please also consider a donation of your time. The PTO is always looking for volunteers to help with school events. For more information, please visit: www.kennedycougarspto.org/volunteer.
