Dear Kenter Canyon Families,
It is with much enthusiasm that we welcome you to Kenter Canyon website to learn or seek information about our school. Our focus as a school community is to improve student achievement and character building for all learners. We must ensure a positive learning environment that teaches children how to be safe, respectful, and responsible citizens, as well as thinkers, discoverers, and inquirers. The results of standardized test scores ranks Kenter as one of the highest performing schools within Los Angeles Unified School, and is recognized by the California Department of Education for its excellence and academic achievements.
The parent is a child’s first teacher, and continued parental support plays an integral part of a student’s learning process. The students and staff benefit from the incredible involvement of Kenter parents. Not only does Kenter benefit from the financial support of its parent group, but the involvement of parents in individual classes, grade levels, as well as school-wide activities makes Kenter stand apart from other schools. We welcome your involvement. Our parents are a group of talented, articulate, and hard working individuals who have a vested interest in their child’s education. We encourage you to remain involved and become a voice for productive and rewarding change.
It is with much ambition that faculty and staff serve the Kenter Canyon community as a school family---and that we focus our decisions and desires based on what is best for our students. With our faculty, staff, and parents working together with a sense of collaboration and a shared vision, the benefactor of our efforts will always be the students of Kenter School.
As the school’s principal, it is important for you to feel welcome to openly communicate with me. My leadership style is one in which I will be accessible, approachable, and an open-minded, thoughtful listener for any issues that you feel need to be heard. It is with much pride that I serve this wonderful school as principal.
We are delighted in your interest in our school and look forward to having you as a part of the energy, productivity, and pride that is shared among students, parents, teachers, and staff at Kenter Canyon. Together, we will strive to make the best of every child even better.
Sincerely,
Dr. Terry Moren
Principal
