There are two ways to earn money for Kenter while doing your everyday shopping.  Both programs costs you nothing.

A public education is free; an enriched one is not.
KENTER CANYON ANNUAL GIVING CAMPAIGN

What is the Annual Giving Campaign?

The Campaign is Kenter's largest initiative to fund its enhanced education program. 100% of the funds raised from the Annual Giving Campaign go directly to the school and to programming for your children. Your children's education is enriched beyond the LAUSD provided program with: Science, Computer, Art, Music, Physical Education, our Library, Aides in each classroom and more.

Each year the money raised is spent on that year's activities, so we need your donations as soon as possible.

At Kenter, the requested per child contribution is $925 annually.

Principal's UPDATE

Curriculum,
     Collaboration,
         and Celebration

At the center of "curriculum, collaboration, and celebration", the three Cs,  are students, which is why we are here! When it comes to making decisions whether it is for the moment or long term, Kenter faculty and staff will collaborate as a professional learning community, focus on curriculum/ standards/effective practices, and celebrate our students for their accomplishments.

The most important thing for us to remember as parents and staff is our purpose.  We have a tremendous faculty who is striving to bring a coherent program aligned to the state learning standards in an enthusiastic and productive manner. Their strong academic program coupled with a strong parental involvement body will create an even more successful learning community. For seven consecutive years, we have met the AYP (Adequate Yearly Progress), a federal measurement established by the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) that measures schools participation on statewide tests, proficiency in language arts and math, and performance in the state's accountability program. California's accountability program uses the API (Academic Performance Index) to measure school performance. API ranks schools based upon how students score on California standards tests in English, Science, and Mathematics. The API scale ranges from 200 to 1,000 with a score of 800 considered to be proficient. Kenter Canyon has increased annually and is currently ranked among top LAUSD and California schools with an API of 953.   We look forward to greater achievements and celebrations for 2012.
