Maze Day
What is Maze Day?
Maze Day is an event that is held every August for students in grades 9 – 12 and their parents/guardians. During Maze Day students and parents receive student schedules, return start of school forms, take yearbook pictures, obtain student ID cards, purchase a number of items for the school year as well as sign up for clubs and express interest in sport teams. Returning students may also return text books found over summer.

Welcome back for the 2024-2025 school year! We are excited to welcome new students, freshmen and returning Kennedy High students back to campus for in person school. All Students will participate in “MAZE Day” August 6 & 7.
All Parents/Guardians should have received an email from FUSD regarding the FUSD On-Line MAZE Forms in Aeries and how to create a new parent portal and access them.
