Family Engagement


KIPP Family Association

The KIPP Family Association at KNDLA meets monthly and supports family events at the school, celebrations for staff, and volunteer opportunities.

Collaborative School Committee (CSC)

School leaders make decisions about their school with input from their CSC.
