School History
Kenrose Elementary School is a public elementary school surrounded by neighborhoods in Brentwood, Tennessee.  The land on which Kenrose was built was sold by the Kennon family for the sole purpose of building an elementary school.  Thus the name Kenrose was chosen to honor Emmett Kennon's wife, Rose, and the Kennon family.  Kenrose opened in the fall of 1999 and serves grades PreK – 5.  Our mission at Kenrose is to educate students for lifelong learning, emabrace students’ cultural and learning differences and equip students to become responsible citizens.

Before/After School Care
Kenrose offers After School Care through the YMCA Fun Company from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. YMCA Fun Company is a before-and-after school care program provided by the YMCA of Middle Tennessee. It is a child-centered, discovery-based activity time that incorporates volunteers, parents, and school staff to help strengthen family life and supplement your child's educational experience.  For more information about Fun Company or our Summer Camp programs, please contact Nikky Tenllado at (615) 373-0215, ext. 3335 or Moses Olomo at (615) 373-0215, ext. 3333.

Parent/Teacher Conferences
Conferences are held in the fall and spring.  Please contact your child's teacher for additional conferences if needed.

Parent Support Organization
Kenrose Elementary has a very supportive and active PTO.  Approximately 70% of the school’s families are members.  Major fundraisers include the annual “Build the Nest” donation drive, Family Fun Night dinner and silent auction, and Fun Run.  The PTO funds the guided reading room, the character education program, the computer lab technician, and purchases of new computers and technology related materials.  They also provide teachers with materials and supplies for their classroom.  The Kenrose PTO also works hard to organize and implement community outreach projects such as a clothing drive for less fortunate students of a nearby school and a blood drive two times per year.  Kenrose families are actively involved in supporting their school.  On any given day at Kenrose, you will find countless numbers of parents, grandparents and community members volunteering in many different capacities around the school.  Board meetings are held the first Wednesday of each month at 9:30 in the Office conference room. Our PTO meets monthly on the third Tuesday at 6:30 p.m.
