Outdoor and Indoor Youth and Recreational Adult Sports

The Kentfield School District supports keeping our local youth active through operating various outdoor activities to support the mental and physical well-being of our children on our school campuses. As Marin County continues its progress in tier status let’s remember to do our part to support the sequential reopening in a safe and progressive manner where we live, work, and play.

On April 6th, the California Department of Public Health released updated guidance related to Outdoor and Indoor Youth and Recreational Adult Sports reflecting:

• Spectators and observers are permitted pursuant to Outdoor Seated Live Events and Performances.
• Inter-team competitions, meets, races, or similar events are permitted to occur only with other teams within the state.
• Thank you for your commitment in supporting our local youth partners in actively enforcing their Public Health required COVID-19 Site-Specific Safety Protection Plans at practices and/or games.

We have come a long way, and in order to continue to move in the right direction we must work together to minimize exposure. Thank you for working together!

Wolfe Grade Crosswalk Opening April 26

Important Information About New Crosswalk Near Bacich (View Map of Crosswalk)

• As you plan for your child’s walking and biking safety to/from school, please be aware that a crosswalk is being installed at the Wolfe Grade and Sir Francis Drake intersection, located in front of Bacich and Sloat Nursery.
• Even though the new crosswalk crosses Sir Francis Drake heading towards Bacich, for student safety, those who are able, should continue to use the existing pedestrian bridge to get across SFD.

The crosswalk will be ready for use on April 26. So, when considering your child’s route to school, please follow these simple recommendations as you plan ahead for this change:

• Students should continue to use their current route going to/from school.
• Kent bicyclists should proceed down to the Laurel Grove crosswalk to cross with the crossing guard as they do now, and then proceed down McAllister to school (instead of using the new crosswalk and riding through Bacich campus).
• Kent and Bacich walkers should continue to use the overpass or the Laurel Grove crosswalk.
• Please share this with your child, particularly if they travel independently to school.

Thank you for your partnership to ensure our Bacich bears and Kent falcons travel safely to and from school!
