Dear Kent Elementary Families,
Safety Update:
In the interest in promoting digital safety, we wanted to share a link to BeAppSavvy. Please check this resource out so that you can learn about the different apps on your child’s electronic devices, what the apps do, and what parents need to know about the apps. Knowledge of these apps can provide the foundation for appropriate, safe use of apps that are available to children.”
We are excited to announce the introduction of a new online reporting system called Anonymous Alerts. It allows students, parents, and staff to easily report concerns.
The Anonymous Alerts system can be accessed through a secure website or a mobile app and helps ensure a safe and welcoming learning environment for all. Additional information can be found on our website.
Student Placement Parent Input Form:
Please click on the link below to complete the Kent Elementary School Parent Input Form for the 23-24 school year.
The information you provide will help us in forming the best learning environment for your child. Please remember that we do not take teacher requests.
