2021-2022 New Student Pre-Registration

Kent School District (KSD) is now pre-registering incoming students in grades 1-12 for the 2021-2022 school year through an online process. 

While the full enrollment process will be available this spring, we are asking families to pre-register now to help us all prepare ahead of time.

• Your pre-registration will allow us to communicate any enrollment updates directly to you with the contact information you provide.
• Your pre-registration will help us better understand how many new students we will have in the district to better plan for the 2021-2022 school year.

If you are enrolling an incoming kindergarten student for the 2021-2022 school year, please follow the kindergarten registration process.

Step 3: Prepare Verification Documents

When the enrollment is open, please be prepared with one of the following documents for student identification/proof of age and proof of address.

Lack of documents should not be a barrier to school enrollment. If you are unable to present these documents, please have a conversation with the school or contact Student and Family Support Services at (253) 373-7235.
