John F. Kennedy Elementary School, opened in
November, 1960. At that time its name was Crescent Parkway School. In November
1963, the Board of Education renamed the school in the memory of President John
F. Kennedy.
John F. Kennedy Elementary School is one of four elementary schools in the
community of South Plainfield, New Jersey. It is located in a residential area
comprised of middle class and blue collar families.
The school population continues to change as a result of new construction within
the township.
The ethnic diversity of our children continues to change and the school
enrollment is currently 290 children, grades Kindergarten through Fourth.
Kennedy School Motto
I come to Kennedy School to learn.
I believe I can be a good student.
I can learn.
I will learn.
More importantly, I will treat others as I wish to be treated.
Our Mission Statement
Children of today will face a radically
different world from the one in which Edison, Ford and Roosevelt were the
driving forces.
The 21st century will present new challenges and children must learn to be
self-motivated, creative problem solvers, flexible thinkers, effective
questioners, multilingual productive team members.
It is the belief of the Kennedy School staff that all children can learn.
Working together with parents we will be able to develop programs to educate the
whole child. Together we will be able to provide the tools for success in a
child’s pursuit for learning.
