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.

All schools and the administration campus are open today, Friday, February 14. Schools are starting and ending at their normal times with the exception of elementary schools that will release three hours early due to elementary conferences.

A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for our area until 8:00 a.m. tomorrow, Friday, February 14. This weather system is expected to bring snow and freezing temperatures overnight and into the morning hours. Due to a scheduled three-hour early release for all elementary schools as part of elementary conferences, a two-hour delayed/late start cannot be implemented due to conflicts within our transportation system, which operates multiple routes for both elementary and secondary schools.
We encourage you to stay informed by checking local weather reports and monitoring your email or other preferred communication channels early tomorrow morning, Friday, February 14. In the event of any changes to school schedules or district operations, we will make a decision by 5:00 a.m. on Friday, February 14.
