Kent School District (KSD) is committed to ensuring participation in optional, non-credit, extracurricular activities is available to all students regardless of family income. Washington State Legislature House Bill 1660 requires school districts to waive attendance or participation fees for eligible students in all grade levels. A Family Activity Card will be mailed to families that qualify for free and reduced-price meals. The Family Activity Card allows the parents/guardians and their elementary age and younger children to enter KSD sponsored events for free or at a reduced rate. Be sure to complete an online free and reduced-price meal application to determine if you are eligible.
