We are excited to announce that Kennedy will be the first school in the district to move to an online attendance entry system for parents. Starting Monday, January 29, you may log into your Skyward Parent Portal and create absences for your child. You will be able to identify absences for a specific child, share the timeframe and the reason without calling or sending a note. Ms. Hess will then review the online entry, confirm its accuracy (in fact, your child is not present), and code as excused/unexcused per the district student handbook. Step-by-step directions can be found HERE. We welcome your suggestions and comments!
