Due to continued safety concerns brought on by recent winter storms, all Kent School District Schools will be closed this Friday, Feb. 15, the district announced.
The Central Administration Office will be open.
All district sponsored activities are cancelled, and there is no out of district transportation.
Looks like KSD students will get a head start for next week’s break!
Here’s a video explanation from Superintendent Dr. Calvin Watts:
Here’s more from the district’s announcement:
“Our dedicated Maintenance and Custodial Staff continue to clear snow, slush and debris from sidewalks, bus loops and parking lots to ensure all buildings are safe for reentry. We must continue to prioritize the safety of all students and staff across the district as we make school closure decisions each day.
“Schools will be closed Monday, February 18, through Friday, February 22, for Presidents’ Break.
“The Central Administration Office will be open for regular business hours February 19-22.
“Thank you to everyone in our KSD Community for your patience as we continue to work towards safely reopening all school buildings after the mid-winter break on February 25, 2019.”
