One-to-one devices like laptops are an integral part of students’ learning experience. The Kent School District 2024 Capital Projects and Technology levy replacement will help ensure that the district can maintain and replace aging devices as needed. To save costs, the district has moved to a seven-year replacement cycle for laptops, an increase from five years previously. Learn more at www.kent.k12.wa.us.
All KSD schools, buildings, and the Administration Center will be closed on Monday, September 2, in observance of Labor Day. Wishing everyone a safe and restful holiday!
Here are a few of the photos captured on the first day of school. Whether students are stepping into a classroom for the first time or heading into their final year, we hope everyone is as excited as we are for the school year ahead.
For the 2024-25 school year, breakfast and lunch meals (not a la cart items) are available at no cost for all students at all schools regardless of family or household income. For more information visit https://bit.ly/FreeBreakfastLunch
