The County of Marin will host a local KSD community forum related to the proposed Project Homekey at 1251 S. Eliseo Dr.. Please see the Community Events section for more information on Project Homekey.

The meeting will be during the week of November 15 and will be announced during the Community Update.

My name is Christopher Salz, and Ashley Vela and I have taken over Kent Tutors Marin started by Zach Redlin last year. We are 7th and 8th graders at Kent offering FREE virtual tutoring to K-6th graders! Support will be offered, free of charge, in all subjects during school, after school, and on weekends. Spanish-speaking tutors are available too. The website used last year (Kent Tutors Marin) provides a choice of 6 tutors with varying availability, and over the next few weeks, more tutors and time slots will be offered. Sessions will be 30-45 minutes via Zoom. Whether it be getting a jump on homework, having a new reading buddy to work on reading fluency or finding time to practice math skills with a cool teenager, Kent Tutors are here to help!

Here's a short video to show you what we're all about!

The purpose of our program is as follows:

1. Support community, build community spirit
2. Allow leadership/mentoring opportunities for older students
3. Forge friendships and offer support for younger students
4. Lessen the load on parents and teachers
5. Improve academic success in the Kentfield School District

Limited appointment availability exists for the month of November, but please fill out your waiver and be ready to sign up for the month of December when we upload the new calendar. If you sign a waiver, you will automatically receive an email announcing when the upload has completed and will get a better chance of schedule times you want.
