Welcome to Theodore Roosevelt High School! You will be starting your career here! Our goal at Theodore Roosevelt High School Career-Technical Education (CTE) is to equip students for high-skill, high-wage careers demanded in a competitive economy. Upon completion, students should be prepared to transition to post-secondary education or enter their career field and, in most cases, have obtained college credit. Our teachers have worked diligently to prepare for a school year that will be meaningful and worthwhile in your educational plan. We hope that you, too, will come prepared to begin this school year with enthusiasm and effort to commit to your success. Please make sure to join our Twitter or Instagram feed @KentSchoolsCTE for information, pictures of students, and news. A good single source for information can be found at www.kentschools.net/cte or call the CTE office at (330)676-8740.
In the coming days, you and your student will receive emailed information needed to complete the Opening of School Steps below, if you do not receive an email by August 10 please contact the Kent CTE office at 330 676-8740.
- Final Forms (Parent & Student): Parents/Guardians and students will need to set up a Final Forms account for Kent City schools. If you have a Final Forms account for your home school, you still need to create a Kent account. Please go to this address https://kentschools-oh.finalforms.com/ and select a new account. Complete the information as requested. The site will ask for your student’s Kent City School District email address (this email can not be changed). An email from Final Forms will be sent to your student’s Kent City School District Google email account with the information needed to complete the student portion of Kent’s Final Forms. As previously mentioned, an email will be sent from Kent Schools to you and your student that will contain the login information.
- Gmail and G Suite (Student): Students need to activate their Kent City School District Gmail account. Directions: Once the student has received their email and password login information, they will go to Gmail (your student may need to log out of their home school account or select add another account). You will need to completely log out of all other Gmail accounts prior to setting up your new email. This process works best on a laptop or desktop computer, as opposed to a cell phone or iPad. Enter their Kent City School District email address and initial password.

If you will be riding the bus to Kent TRHS for your Career-Technical Program, please check with your home school Guidance Department or Transportation Department. They will provide the location and time that the bus will be leaving your school to bring you to TRHS. Students may drive to Theodore Roosevelt high school and will need to complete a Six District Transportation Request Form. Parking at TRHS can be challenging, please plan to arrive 15 minutes before your start time. Morning programs start at 7:30am. You need to arrive prior to 7:30 am to be on time and not tardy.
If you are in a program with a fee, an invoice will be sent home prior to the end of September from our Cashier’s office. Fee payment plans are available for those who would prefer to make monthly or quarterly payments. Students that are eligible for free lunch must complete a Kent fee waiver form available in our cashier’s office to have their fees waived and use material on loan. Please take care of this as soon as you receive the invoice from us. If you have any questions regarding fees, please contact Kathleen D’Sidocky kdsidocky@kentschools.net or at 330-676-8709.
