Kentwood Elementary

Welcome to Kentwood Elementary School, an oasis of learning where every child is appreciated and cherished. When you enter our school, the warmth and love of family permeates immediately, from the front office through the classrooms and to the playground. This magnificent little gem of the neighborhood prides itself on being a true community and family-oriented school, which wants and does the absolute best for our students. The staff and parents are most gracious and supportive. Our students are absolutely beautiful, charming, bright, intelligent, polite, and well-spirited.  We value and celebrate a most diverse and multicultural student body with a myriad of activities and events.

My personal vision for Kentwood, is that we always maintain: a safe and fun learning environment that will prepare our children for outstanding academic and social success; a place where students excel, where spirits soar, where creativity is explored, nurtured and encouraged; and a conduit to the future, embracing and involving the community around us. 

 

I believe that we exist in the universe of possibility.  I believe in the possibility of phenomenal success for our students; staff who love positively influencing young minds, and a community that believes in our school as a viable vehicle for change and support. But first, we need you to believe in the possibilities. Won’t you please make the commitment to Kentwood and our students and embark on this fantastic journey with me? We are proud to be the first to become an iDesign school, joining the new partnership with LMU.  We also look forward to continuing and strengthening our community relationships with the LAX/Westchester Chamber of Commerce, Playa Vista Educational Foundation, and the Westchester/Playa Education Foundation.

 

We welcome you to come by and participate in any of our Koala Tours and Not Just for Kindergarten Tea to learn more about our fantastic school and see the wonderful things that we are doing and have accomplished. I look forward to seeing you soon!

Sincerely,

Jean Pennicooke

Principal
