JFK Curriculum Night 9/20 (5:15 pm) (Click here for letter and schedule)
JFK School Community,
Good evening, we hope this email finds you doing well. We are writing to communicate the details of our fast-approaching curriculum night. We cordially invite all parents/guardians to attend this important school event scheduled for next Wednesday, September 20. Our auditorium doors will open at 5:00 pm with a 5:15 start time. Please park toward the back portion of the property by the auditorium entrance (this is the opposite side of the main office entrance).
After a brief greeting and logistical orientation in the auditorium, you will follow your child’s classroom schedule for the duration of the evening. Your child’s schedule is available via our PowerSchool portal and will be available in hardcopy form at the event. Having access to this schedule prior to arrival will alleviate wait times and missing our overview presentation.
This evening is intended to provide you with a general overview of the curriculum that your child will receive during their school year – these brief meetings are not teacher conferences. Teacher conferences to discuss individual student concerns/items are scheduled for October 25 and November 1 (details will be sent in a separate communication). Having your child accompany you to this event is a parent/guardian decision.

JFK School Community,
In the past few years we have seen more middle and elementary school students left unsupervised by their parents at high school athletic games and, consequently, more incidents of misconduct and other inappropriate behaviors by these students. This has particularly become a problem at night-time football games, where we have our largest number people attending including the largest gathering of 8th grade and younger students.
We seem to have more parents dropping their children off at the high school and then picking them up after the game. This is not safe. It is particularly unsafe at night-time football games, where a number of kids congregate in large groups within the spectator areas and on the adjoining unlighted sports fields to socialize and unfortunately also to become involved in misconduct.
While we have numerous school administration and security on hand, the size of the area and number of spectators diminish our ability to safely supervise unattended youngsters.
Along with the privilege of participating in an athletic contest, either as a spectator or player, comes the responsibility to exhibit exemplary conduct, spirit and sportsmanship. Enfield High School has been recognized in the past for its outstanding conduct and the example it portrays for others on and off the playing field.
We are being proactive in adjusting our attendance practice to ensure the safest environment possible for all who attend.
ATTENDANCE POLICY Children 8th grade and younger must be accompanied by an adult.
- For this policy, adult is defined as a parent or grandparent of the child.
- We will allow one additional non-related child to attend with the above adult upon initial entry only. Children will not be allowed to show up and have someone come from the crowd to vouch for their entry.
- Children who arrive at the door or gate to a contest without an adult will be denied entrance and can remain at gate area until a ride comes to bring them home.
- This policy will be in effect for all evening varsity football games and evening games for boys’ and girls’ soccer, boys’ and girls’ basketball, boys’ and girls’ volleyball and wrestling.
- High school siblings WILL NOT be allowed to escort their younger siblings to games without being accompanied by an adult.
We thank you for your assistance in creating an inviting and safe environment and are willing to work together with us to actively model and teach children appropriate behavior and expectations.

JFK After School Clubs
All of JFK’s club offerings for the 2023-24 school year will be listed soon!
* Traditionally, all clubs conclude at 3:15 pm; however, there are several clubs that are a little more involved (ex., drama, debate, etc.). These clubs will occasionally require more of a time commitment. If students involved with these clubs are requested to stay passed 3:15 pm, parents/guardians will be notified in a timely manner. ALL parent/guardian pick-ups will take place outside of the white wing entrance. This is located a little passed the main office entrance. Please follow the same traffic loop that we utilize for afternoon pick-ups.
