Dear Kennedy Parents/Guardians,

We are excited to welcome you back to Kennedy Middle School! We are already getting excited for all the things we have planned for the upcoming 2026–2027 school year, and we look forward to serving our students and families with excellence.

 

To Help You Prepare for the School Year

All returning BPS students are required to complete their back-to-school paperwork through the FOCUS portal. This process is much quicker than the old paper packets.

Please log into your FOCUS parent portal and complete the online re-enrollment paperwork as soon as possible.

Important Information for 7th Grade Students

Special Attention 7th Graders:
You must upload your updated shot records, including the TDAP immunization, to the FOCUS re-enrollment packet. You will not be able to attend school or receive a schedule until we have your updated records on file.

 

If you have any issues with FOCUS, please call us at 321-633-3500 and ask for Megan Parise for assistance.

 

What if I’m new to KMS or having difficulties with FOCUS?

Students and families new to KMS, or those who have not completed the re-enrollment paperwork, will have the opportunity to complete it on campus if needed.

Please be sure to bring proof of residency if you are new to our school.

 

What does transportation look like for students at KMS?

Students in Kennedy Middle School’s attendance area are eligible for district transportation if they live more than 2 miles from the school. Students attending Kennedy on an Education Location Option (ELO) are not eligible for bus transportation.

All rising 7th graders need to complete the link below to sign up for bus transportation. Please complete this as soon as possible to ensure your student has a bus pass prior to the first day of school.

Sign up for Bus Transportation here!

For dual custody busing, specialized transport (ESE, Medical 504, etc.), or SIT/Foster students, please contact our GSP, Mr. Terry Haus at haus.terrence@brevardschools.org.

 

We look forward to an incredible year ahead and to partnering with you to make 2026–2027 our best year yet! 💙

Sincerely,

Angela Owens

Principal
