The All-School Parent Social is a fun-filled fall evening designed to celebrate our community and provide an informal opportunity for families to get to know each other.

The Community Service Committee plans and coordinates service activities that create meaningful opportunities to give back to those in need, while fostering a strong sense of community and purpose at Kent Place. These events, which may take place on weekends or during school breaks, are designed for students and families to strengthen connections within the school and with the broader community.

The Community Connections Committee liaises with parents & parent groups who work independently of the PA and Kent Place to create community-building events and opportunities. Examples of sub-committees include, but are not limited to:

Mahjong Meet-ups. Plans and organizes opportunities for new and experienced players to enjoy mahjong together throughout the year.

Father Figures. Plans and organizes social and educational student/family activities outside of the school day that foster a sense of community. Events may take place on weekends and days when school is closed. 

Working Moms. Plans and organizes three social opportunities for working moms throughout the year.

Cookbook Club. Plans and organizes opportunities for members of our community to share their love of cooking.

The goal of the Diversity and Equity Parent Group is to provide a space for our families to dialogue, learn about, and explore issues of identity, diversity, and equity. Our subcommittees include affinity groups, LatinX Night, Lunar New Year, MLK Day of Service planning, and more. The group, which is open to all parents and caregivers, supports families and students in developing respect, deepening understanding of identity, and co-constructing an increasingly inclusive and equitable School community.

DEPG also runs Celebrate the Season, a fun and festive evening as we celebrate the winter holiday season as one Kent Place Community. The night typically includes food, crafts, and music and ends with illuminating our beautiful holiday lights on campus.

The Division and Class Representatives support the classroom teachers and/or the class advisor in organizing activities and grade-specific events. Class representatives meet with the Division Representatives and Division Directors throughout the school year in order to provide parent support where needed for classroom-based activity.

The mission of the Dragon Athletic Club (DAC) is to support our athletic programs and athletes, to foster school spirit, and to drive interest in our athletics programs within the school community. The DAC supports a number of programs and events each year, such as team dinners, seasonal athletic banquets, and more.

The Ethics Institute Parent Group supports the mission of the Ethics Institute by assisting with events, parent programs, and promotion to the broader community.

In the spring of each year, parent volunteers host a lunch on campus to express thanks to Kent Place faculty and staff for their service to our students.

Fall Sport & Spirit Day is an annual event for the entire school community that includes a tailgate with food and beverages, crafts, face-painting, and more, all while athletic games are taking place on the fields!

A favorite tradition, Family Fun Day is a Kent Place community-wide celebration with food, games, music, tricky tray, and so much more!

Works with parents/guardians to identify both PA- and non-PA-related volunteer opportunities that fit their time and interests. Liaises with event chairs and parent organization representatives to fill volunteer roles as-needed.

Grandparents & Special Friends Day is an annual, school-wide event before the Thanksgiving break, during which our KPS community welcomes grandparents and special friends to campus. Historically, grandparents & special friends enjoy breakfast in the McDermott-Wight Dining Hall and then visit students for classes and division-specific activities.
