We Want To Hear From You! Complete The Family Engagement Survey

Kennewick School District’s goal is for all families to be key partners in their student’s education. Our school is seeking input on how to best engage families in their student’s learning. We invite you to complete this year's survey to provide your input.

English: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/F22RCMG?lang=en

Spanish: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/F22RCMG?lang=es

Questions focus on the content students are learning and how our school is doing in providing resources to help your student, connecting your family to community resources and other important areas of engagement. This survey also contains additional questions for families with graduating seniors.

If you have more than one student, please take a survey for each of your student’s schools. If there is a question you are unsure about or does not apply to your experience, you may skip it. Your participation is appreciated and your feedback is valued.

The deadline for responses is March 27, 2026.

Ordering information coming soon!

SAVE THE DATE!

Please save the date: Wednesday, April 22, 6:00–7:30 PM

We will be hosting a “Countdown to Kindergarten” night to help families learn about the transition to elementary school. This event will be especially helpful for families whose children will be entering kindergarten next year, but all families are welcome to attend.

We are still in the early planning stages, and more details will be coming soon. At the end of March, you will receive the April newsletter with a personal note from me sharing the final details about the event.

We look forward to sharing this evening with you!
