Communication

With roughly 1200 students attending JFK , there is a great deal of information and news that we attempt to communicate . We reach out to the community directly utilizing our SchoolMessenger platform . This tool is meant to be a direct line to our parents / guardians , and we utilize it quite often . In your PowerSchool parent portal , you will need to ensure that “ receive emails ” and “ sms text ” are checked to receive these communications . We send out a monthly newsletter on or about the first of every month . These newsletters are also posted on our website , under the quick links menu on the lefthand side (“ monthly newsletter ”). Our website contains the school calendar and other key pieces of information that you may find helpful . Within the calendar , we will often attach the event flyer or as much information as possible that is associated with a particular event . If you are interested , you can also link our school calendar to your personal calendar on your phone ( bottom right on calendar ). We encourage you to take some time to explore this valuable resource ( JFK homepage ). Last , we have a JFK twitter page that provides supplemental information , resources , and updates . You do not need a twitter account to view our page . The twitter posts are embedded within our homepage with the full page HERE .
* Please take some time to review the Enfield Public Schools District 2021-22 Calendar . In addition , please familiarize yourself with our regular , delayed , and early release school hours below ( full document here ).
