Greetings Kent Community,

On Tuesday, August 24th we welcome all students back to Kent for the start of this school year! Please see the notes below for important information about this first week of school.

First Day of School

Student schedules are now live in Aeries, accessed through the Aeries Parent Portal. Students may access the Kent campus through any gate to our school, and should report to their first period class on Tuesday morning by 8:30 am. If you plan to drop your child off at school by car, please pull all the way forward in the Kent driveway, turn left and continue all the way to the Gym and drop students off at our student drop off zone, in front of the Gym. School staff will be present on campus to help guide each student to their correct first period class.

Back to School Night

We welcome our school community to our Kent Back to School Night this Thursday, August 26th from 6:00 to 8:30 pm. During Back to School Night please expect to meet school staff working with your child, and to learn an overview of the academic, social, and creative program your child will experience at Kent this year. Please reference the Back to School Night schedule below.
