Message from Principal Robert Rouse

Dear Family,

Welcome to the 2012-2013 school year at Kenderton Elementary School.  Our year will be exciting and rewarding for all involved in our school.  All parents and/or guardians are needed to support this effort.  Everything you do starting from today will drive Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP Goals).

Now is the time to stop looking outside of your child's community for a great school and start making an effort to support your child's current school.

Best Wishes for a Great year and Enjoy Kenderton Elementary School!

Robert Rouse

Principal
