National School Counselor's WeekUse SHIFT+ENTER to open the menu (new window).New

Please join the Kennewick School District in recognizing the unique contribution to the academic success and personal well-being of our students that district counselors make each and every day—because school counselors do more than just talk to kids who are feeling bad or upset. They also help families find solutions to difficult real-life problems, and point them towards additional resources that they might not be aware of in the community, especially when more intensive or long-term counseling is needed than can be offered in a school environment. School counselors really care for Kennewick kids—and they deserve our thanks. So please take a moment to express yours.

 Kennewick School Bond Project Updates

 It’s Official! The name for KSD’s new elementary is Cottonwood. The school colors are red, black, and white, and its mascot will be the badgers.  After a process of receiving suggestions from the public through the KSD website, a committee of community members and staff, led by principal MaryAnn Kautzky, narrowed it down to four choices for names and eight for mascots. Those choices were put to a vote online. Cottonwood Badgers was the clear favorite!

The second story is up and classrooms are being framed on the second floor at Kennewick's newest elementary school.

 

At Canyon View, crews are installing new heating, ventilation, and air systems as well as plumbing and insulation.
   
These projects have been made possible through the support of Kennewick School District residents. Thank you for approving our school bond! In addition to the new elementary school, the district will renovate four elementary schools that are over 30 years old with aging infrastructures. Canyon View elementary will be the first to be renovated. Students and staff will temporarily move into the district’s Fruitland Building this year while the building is remodeled. Canyon View is scheduled to reopen in fall of 2010. Funds from the bond will also go toward making major repairs at school buildings throughout the district.
