Kennedy Cluster Concert

Please join us for the Kennedy Cluster Concert this Thursday.  We will welcome middle schools and future Cavaliers to perform with our own Kennedy Music Program.  Come out and share in the fun evening!

Fall Celebrations (October 30)

Cavaliers are welcome to wear costumes to school on Friday, October 30! As we recognize Halloween, fall festivals, and Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), we want all students to feel included and respected in our diverse community.

Please remember our costume guidelines:

• Costumes must be school-appropriate and not disrupt learning.
• No masks or face coverings that prevent identification.
• No toy guns or other weapon replicas.

Costumes must follow the school dress code and be respectful of others.

Thank you for helping us create a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment for all Cavaliers!

Seal of Biliteracy

Are you a parent or caregiver of a senior who speaks a language other than English? If yes, please consider having your student register to assess for the Seal of Biliteracy. If they meet the requirements, they earn a medal at graduation and an official seal from the state of Maryland recognizing them as officially bilingual and biliterate. If you have any questions about the process, please email Mr. Jefferson (Lane_P_Jefferson@mcpsmd.org). Registration is live; all you have to do is complete this form:  Registration for Seal of Biliteracy Assessment
