Message from the Superintendent
It is a great honor and privilege to serve the Kentfield-Greenbrae community as superintendent of the Kentfield School District. I take pride in our 1,058 Bacich and Kent students and am excited to continue working alongside our dedicated staff and school board to ensure every child receives an exceptional education. Together, we have overcome unique challenges, celebrated successes, and collaborated to provide our children with rigorous academics while supporting their social-emotional development.
Looking ahead, we have identified key initiatives for the 2024-2025 school year including:
- Launching a literacy curriculum pilot at Bacich Elementary School to support
our transition to a structured literacy approach. Structured literacy provides our students with essential
foundational skills necessary to promote reading success for all students. - Advancing Kent Middle School’s commitment to Standards-Based Feedback, which offers clear and specific guidance to students and families empowering children to take agency in their learning while increasing opportunities for academic rigor and challenge in essential skills.
- Prioritizing our facilities to create an optimal learning environment where essential functions are addressed to sustain daily operations. Our focus is to offer a safe school setting where classrooms and shared spaces are inviting and comfortable for learning and engaging with peers.
- Evaluating our strategic plan/LCAP goals and actions through an equity lens to analyze how our district systems and structures impact student progress and community connectedness.
These activities represent just a small sampling of our intentions for the 2024-2025 school year. With steady focus and thoughtful planning, we have built a strong foundation for a positive year ahead filled with joyful learning and meaningful connections.
Whether it’s through school assemblies, exploring new reading strategies and science theories, joining a new lunch club, or making new friends, the year ahead promises to be filled with excitement, challenge, and growth!
