The North Kitsap School District employs ParentSquare, a communication service, to maintain consistent communication with families for both regular updates and emergencies. The Community Relations and Communications office uses this platform to deliver announcements, district news, and emergency notifications via email, text messages, and phone calls. All parents and guardians are automatically registered to receive messages from ParentSquare, which sources contact information from our Student Information System, Skyward Family Access. This information is updated daily. If you are not receiving messages from your child's school, please verify your contact details in Skyward or contact the school to update your information.

The Community Relations and Communication office oversees the district website's content. If you encounter any issues, kindly reach out to the community relations office at (360) 396-3004 .

To translate our websites, select the desired language from the top-right drop-down menu, or on mobile, access the menu denoted by three horizontal lines in the top right corner.
