Dear Kennedy Middle School Community, 

Welcome to the 2023-2024 School Year. I am sure it is going to be a productive, engaging, and exciting year of learning for all!

I am thrilled to be joining the very talented and dedicated staff of Kennedy MS, and work together with the entire community to continue the wonderful work supporting our students’ academic growth, as well as their journey into young adulthood. Middle school can be challenging, and my role as part of your administrative team is to help students see challenges as learning opportunities. I am happy to be joining a community that not only focuses on future academic and career success, but also prioritizes social, emotional, mental, and physical well-being. Only through this whole child approach can we ensure our students develop a lifelong love of learning and become thoughtful and engaged citizens. 

Our partnerships help make KMS a wonderful place to learn and grow. I encourage all community members to become involved, whether through volunteering or active participation in Kennedy Middle School’s PTA (Kennedymspta.org). I look forward to getting to know you and your students.

Please watch for more information as we approach the opening of school, and make sure we have up-to-date contact information on record for further communication.  In the meantime, I hope you have an enjoyable and rejuvenating summer. 

Best wishes,

Gwendolyn DeWees
