Calendars

Calamity Day Notifications

The district makes every attempt to communicate with our families in a timely manner when we have to delay or close school because of bad weather through our district webpage and Facebook page (Kettering City Schools.)

Parents/Guardians/Students can also opt-in to receive notifications when school is delayed or closed via text messages and phone calls.

The district uses The Education Connection to call and/or text when there is a school delay or closing.  Parents/guardians/students MUST OPT-IN EACH SCHOOL YEAR using this link to receive these types of notifications.

Childcare

The Dayton YMCA offers Before- and After-School Childcare Services for KCS students in each of our elementary buildings. Please visit the YMCA School-Age Programs website for additional information and to register your child for childcare services. * Scroll down to "KETTERING" under "YMCA School Age Child Care Locations" to access information specific to KCS-based childcare services.

Community Input on Grant Funding

The Kettering City Schools will hold a public meeting on the use of Federal funds on Thursday, October
3, 2024, at 12:00 p.m. in the Board Room, 3rd Floor, 500 Lincoln Park Blvd.

The district receives funds through the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce (ODEW) via the
Consolidated Continuous Improvement Plan (CCIP) that are called Title funds or Elementary and
Secondary Education Act (ESEA) funds. Monies received through these funds are used to provide
financial assistance to the district and schools with high percentages of children from low-income
families to make sure that all children meet challenging state academic standards. Monies are also
received through IDEA-B (Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act) and are used to
provide special education services to students with identified disabilities, ages 3-21.


Kettering City Schools is required to provide equitable services to private schools for certain federal
funds. Timely consultation with private school officials enables Kettering City Schools to provide
effective programs for eligible private school children, teachers, and families.


The district welcomes the general public and parents/guardians of the children enrolled to provide input
regarding the use of these funds at the meeting. Comments may also be sent to Dan VonHandorf,
Assistant Superintendent of Teaching and Learning, or Aaron Horton, Supervisor of Special Education
Services at 500 Lincoln Park Blvd. You may also email input to: dan.vonhandorf@ketteringschool.org or
aaron.horton@ketteringschool.org.
