January is National Mentoring Month 💙
As OneKSD, we know that strong partnerships help our students thrive. This month, we are proud to highlight Kent Youth and Family Services, a longtime community partner that has supported children, youth, and families in Kent for more than 55 years.
Kent Youth and Family Services promotes the healthy development of children, youth, and families through professional counseling, education, and support services—work that aligns closely with our shared commitment to equity, inclusion, and student success.
In 2025, Kent Youth and Family Services served 1,618 total youth and family members across three after-school program sites, making a meaningful impact in our community.
Together as OneKSD, we are grateful for partners like Kent Youth and Family Services who help students and families achieve their goals and build a better future for our community.

We are planning a 2-hour late start for tomorrow, Thursday, February 6 because we are currently under a winter weather advisory until 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, with the strong possibility of more snow and freezing temperatures.

We are sending this communication the evening before to provide families and staff with time to plan for the potential effects of a two-hour late start. This advance notice aims to help those that need to make arrangements to accommodate this schedule change.
