Community Relations

Community Relations logo

Family engagement is key to a student’s academic achievement and is a shared responsibility between school and family. Together, the Community Relations team, KUSD staff and community partners, work to implement free interactive family learning experiences that relate to curriculum, safety, and strengthening family communication and school connections. To register for upcoming family education programs, please visit our Virtual Backpack. These programs are free and open to all families throughout the community!
