Sac New Tech invites 8th grade students and parents to
participate in Pathways,
a free program that prepares
students for their paths after high
school. (We highly recommend
future freshman parents attend!) Please
note there are 2 workshops with 2 separate topics.
Kennedy HS counselors will be at Sam Brannan on Monday 3/18
to schedule students for their
9th grade classes.
If your child has been accepted into a specialty program or a
private school and WILL NOT be attending Kennedy –
please either respond to this email OR have your child come
speak with me ASAP.
If your child is on the WAITING LIST for a specialty program – we
STRONGLY suggest that they meet with the Kennedy counselors
to create a 9th grade schedule as a “back up plan”.
Did you know that a child who reads 20 minutes a day will be
exposed to 1.8 million words and will more likely score in the

are just around the corner. Consider giving a book to a

time. The Scholastic Book Fair is happening at Sam
Brannan and will close at the end of the school day

school. Can’t make it to the fair? You can shop
