A Community Group in ParentSquare is a feature that allows school districts to communicate with people outside of current students, staff, and parents.

We appreciate your interest in the "happenings" of the Kettering City Schools!

When you opt in to the ParentSquare KCS Communty Group, the types of communications you will receive will typically pertain to districtwide events and activities, as well as urgent/emergency alerts surrounding safety and security issues and calamity day ("snow day") notifications.

If you would like to receive building-specific communications and alerts, please opt in to any school listed in the KCS Community Group Opt-In Link (below), and you will become a member of that school's "Community Group."

IMPORTANT NOTE -- Parents/Guardians listed in their child(ren)'s PowerSchool account DO NOT need to also sign up for district or individual building Community Groups. As the parent/guardian listed in your child's PowerSchool Account, you are automatically going to receive all district notifications and emergency alerts, as well as communications and emergency alerts sent by your child(ren)'s school(s).

We love seeing our Fairmont grads earning well-deserved accolades for their achievements. Even better? Hearing them share how their experiences as a student in the Kettering City Schools set them on the path to their dream careers.

Cross Safe, Kettering is a community-wide campaign dedicated to keeping every person safe as they navigate Kettering's streets. Launched by the City of Kettering and supported by the Kettering City Schools, this initiative is built on a simple but powerful idea: our streets are safer when everyone, drivers and pedestrians alike, takes responsibility for looking out for one another.

We care about you, Kettering. That is at the heart of everything we do, and it is why we are committed to partnering with the City of Kettering to grow awareness, build good habits and foster a culture of shared safety across our community. In Kettering, we are respectful, responsible and safe, and that does not stop when we step out the door.

Together, we can make Kettering a safer place for everyone.

Check out our Safety Video

The Cross Safe, Kettering campaign is all about looking out for one another, and the City of Kettering -- in conjunction with Miami Valley Communications Council -- put that into action with a short safety video. If we can all follow the simple rules laid out in this video, we will all get home safely.

Thank you to the City of Kettering, MVCC and all those who made this video possible, including Mayor Bryan Suddith, our talented KCS student actors, Kettering's Safety Supervisor and our School Resource Officers!

 

We want to extend a huge thank you to our community. We had over 3,000 students, staff, family and community members participate in the voting process to help choose the name for our combined school. This engagement is what makes Kettering such a special place to learn and grow.

• Charles F. Kettering Middle School received 16.8% of the vote.
• Virginia Kettering Middle School came in second place with 17.1% of the vote.
• The winning name, receiving over 66% of the total votes, is Kettering Fairmont Middle School!

This name reflects our deep connection to the Kettering community and our shared future as our students will all become Kettering Fairmont Firebirds starting in 6th grade for the 2026-2027 school year.
