4th Grade Field Trip – Nov. 18th
Kenter Canyon grade 4 teachers and administration strive to instill independence and confidence in each of our students as they grow to become adolescents and middle school students. To promote individual leadership and teamwork, we have planned a field trip at Valley Trails Ranch Leadership Retreat in Santa Clarita that serves all of Los Angeles County schools and is approved by the Los Angeles Unified School District. Please click here to read the school letter with details and the signup form, which is due Nov. 12th, click here for the field trip permission slip, and click here for the online payment option.
Firefighters Appreciation Presentation – NOV. 21st
Kenter Canyon School's Parent Support Group, Student Council, Helping Hands and Junior Coaches raised funds to purchase personally monogrammed brush gear bags for each of the firefighters at Station #19. Additionally, students wrote letters of appreciation for the heroic service of firefighters. The letters have been compiled into books prepared for each firefighter. Most of the firefighters are parents and expressed their delight to receive letters from children.
The presentation assembly is open to Kenter and the community at large on Thursday, November 21, 2019 at 10:00 a.m- 11:30am. on the South Yard. Join us for this heartwarming display of appreciation from our students. A reception will follow at Coyote Plaza. Please click here for the flyer.

SCHOOL EXPERIENCE SURVEYS
During Teacher-Parent Conferences, the teachers will ask parents to personally hand them their completed School Experience Surveys. These surveys were sent home on November 8 with each family's oldest child at Kenter Canyon School. For parents who forget their surveys, teachers will offer an opportunity for you to complete them at one of our school's computers in the office, computer lab or science lab. WHY SUCH A PUSH FOR THESE SURVEYS? School rankings are determined by 2 factors: SBAC Test Scores are considered for 60% of the ranking. The other 40% is called School Climate. At this time, parent participation with these Surveys is the only measure used for that 40%. in 2018, Kenter Canyon earned 80% of 100%. Test scores earned the full 60% but only 81% of parents submitted the surveys, which earned Kenter Canyon only 20% of the 40%. Parents: Your child is depending on YOU to turn in your survey to help earn the full points as they did on SBAC. Raffle drawings will be held for students whose parents return their Surveys to their teachers during Parent-Teacher Conference time. Prizes will be earned by each of your children enrolled at Kenter Canyon if any one of their names is drawn. Prizes include board games, sports ball and "lunch with Principal Moren." Talk to other parents and encourage participation in completing these School Experience Surveys. Please click here for the flyer.

A message from Dr. Terry L. Moren, Principal
Kenter Canyon School is delighted to have you join our community and become an integral part of your child’s education. Kenter Canyon offers a unique experience to its students because of the collaboration between its dedicated staff and the incredible involvement of its parents. The parent is the child’s first teacher and plays an integral part of their child’s learning process. I believe we must work together to ensure a safe and positive learning environment that teaches children how to be safe, respectful, and responsible citizens, as well as thinkers, discoverers, and inquirers. Together, we will continue to make a difference in the lives of the children at Kenter. I hope that you will become involved in your child’s classroom as well as the parent involvement opportunities afforded through our Parent Support Group (PSG), Governance Council, School Site Council, and school activities. We need volunteers to help with classroom activities, school-wide functions, traffic safety, special projects, enrichment activities, field trip supervision and committee work. Look for periodical announcements inviting you to TwT “Tea with Terry” socials----“TwT is an opportunity to join me for an informal chat about Kenter Canyon. Together, we will make a positive difference in the lives of children. We need parents to help us be involved in solutions, not just reporting problems. Together, we can make ordinary things extraordinary. (more…)
