Kenwood Elementary School opened in 1963 with a structural expansion in 1964. The summer of 2014 kicks off a building remodel that includes a new kindergarten wing, gymnasium, and school-wide upgrade. The remodel completion is set for early fall of 2015. Kenwood sits on a 9-acre site, and houses grades Kindergarten through Fifth and is located at the intersection of Stratford Drive and Sheridan Drive in the Holiday Park Subdivision. Kenwood is one of two balanced calendar schools in the Champaign district. A balanced calendar school features multi-week breaks following each nine-week quarter. Students have an approximate ten weeks summer break and return to school in late July.
