Good afternoon Kenmore families,

As you have likely seen, APS is offering families two choices for delivery of instruction for the coming school year. Families have until July 20 to make their selection.

We know you may have questions so we have scheduled a virtual PTA meeting for Thursday, July 16 at 7:30 PM. Principal David McBride will be participating to give us an update and answer questions.

As we have done in the past, please submit your questions prior to the meeting via email to: kenmoreptapresident@gmail.com

We will provide a Zoom link next week for the meeting. We are also looking into purchasing software that allows for simultaneous interpretation during the meeting. Stay tuned for more details.

Be well,

Buenas tardes familias de Kenmore,

 

Como probablemente haya visto, APS ofrece a las familias dos opciones para la entrega de instrucción para el próximo año escolar. Las familias tienen hasta el 20 de julio para hacer su selección.

 

Sabemos que puede tener preguntas, por lo que hemos programado una reunión virtual de la PTA para 16 de julio at 7:30. El director David McBride participará para brindarnos una actualización y responder preguntas.

 

Como lo hemos hecho en el pasado, envíe sus preguntas antes de la reunión por correo electrónico a: kenmoreptapresident@gmail.com.

 

Proporcionaremos un enlace Zoom la próxima semana para la reunión. También estamos buscando comprar software que permita la interpretación simultánea durante la reunión. Estén atentos para más detalles.

Outdoor Spaces Committee Now Forming

With lots of unknowns coming this fall, we want to take every opportunity to use Kenmore's space wisely. We are thinking outside of the box and outside of the classroom! Kenmore has some great outdoor spaces that we may be able to use.

Are you looking to help out? Get outside? Then this is right up your alley. We are organizing a committee to help support outdoors spaces around our school. We need bench and table builders, fund raisers, grant writers, and brainstormers!  

We are looking to do an in person kick off meeting (socially distancing of course) this Friday, July 10th at 10:00 a.m. at Kenmore. If you can make it, please RSVP to Ann Marie Douglass at natureclubkids8@gmail.com no later than Thursday, July 9.

**********************
Con muchas incógnitas que vienen este otoño, queremos aprovechar cada oportunidad para usar el espacio de Kenmore sabiamente. ¡Estamos pensando fuera de la caja y fuera del aula! Kenmore tiene algunos grandes espacios al aire libre que podemos usar.

¿Estás buscando ayudar? ¿Sal afuera? Entonces esto es justo en tu callejón. Estamos organizando un comité para ayudar a apoyar espacios al aire libre alrededor de nuestra escuela. ¡Necesitamos constructores de bancos y mesas, recaudadores de fondos, redactores de subvenciones y tormentas de ideas!

Estamos buscando hacer una reunión de presentación en persona (distanciamiento social, por supuesto) este viernes 10 de julio a las 10:00 a.m.en Kenmore. Si puede hacerlo, confirme su asistencia a Ann Marie Douglass en natureclubkids8@gmail.com a más tardar el jueves 9 de julio.
