Health Update
End of Year Medication Reminder
If your student has medication in the school office, it must be picked up by the last day of school. We cannot be responsible for any medication left in the school office over the summer. The entire Bacich office is relocating to the new building and we will be packing everything for the move.
Remember, if your student requires any medication, including over the counter medication, an Authorization to Administer form must be completed and signed with your health care provider. The medication provided needs to be in the original container and labeled with your child’s name.
Thank you and have a wonderful, healthy summer!

We invite all parents to visit the BTI website at www.betheinfluence.us where you will find valuable information on:

- State and local laws imposing civil and criminal liability on minors and adults;
- Tips on how to talk with your child about substance use;
- Tips on setting boundaries, monitoring your child and effective consequences;

Community News
These programs are not sponsored by the Kentfield School District. Distributing flyers and information is a community service and does not imply endorsement.
Register to Receive Evacuation Notices and Fire Information
During wildfires, Marin residents should be prepared to monitor multiple sources for fire and life safety information. Emergency managers will use several methods to distribute fire information: Alert Marin, Nixle, Social Media, local TV and radio, and social media (Facebook and Twitter) are the primary outlets. Don't neglect to use your own senses - look, listen, and smell for signs of fire and changing conditions!
Alert Marin www.marinsheriff.org/services/emergency-services/alert-marin
When Do We Use It?
- When action is needed at a specific address
- Imminent flooding, wildfires, and evacuations with life safety implications
- During-event information about evacuation routes, shelters, transportation
- Other public safety incidents where lives may be at risk
Important! Alert Marin is used when action must be taken at a specific address. Alert Marin is not a general public information source. Alert Marin will not be used to provide routine updates or fire information!
Nixle local.nixle.com/county/ca/marin/
When Do We Use It?
- When information is needed in a zip code
- Road closures, general updates, issues affecting larger areas
- Post-disaster information about shelters, transportation, or supplies
- Police activity and general public safety information
It is important to understand that Alert Marin and Nixle are different, complementary systems, and currently require separate registrations. Nixle is an opt-in text message service used to announce local information, targeting zip codes. You are likely to receive frequent, low-level, non-emergency texts from many local public safety agencies by Nixle. Nixle may be used to provide general fire information or rebroadcast evacuation alerts, but Alert Marin is a separate and distinct system targeting specific street addresses with the ability to send voice, text, or email ACTION messages.
FIRESafe MARIN recommends that everyone register for Alert Marin and Nixle, and understand the difference!
