KSD Highlights
Dear KSD Community,
The positive energy and active engagement among staff and students on both campuses is such a joy to observe and witness. During the past week first graders' eagerly kicked off a "Spinning Earth" science unit; Kent students discovered new opportunities they would explore in their final enrichment rotation; and staff and parents collaborated to develop plans for an in-person graduation and promotion. These signs are all evidence of our community moving forward together as a united front on behalf of the students we serve.
As we continue the final trimester of the school year there is much activity ahead of us to culminate the year by honoring where we have been and celebrating where we are headed. Your partnership and collaboration is appreciated as we forge a path forward that strengthens our community.
Take good care!

KENTFIELD KUDOS
Join Mrs. Warnick in the *Magical* Bacich Library
At Bacich, our students experience enrichment programs that reinforce, support and inspire learning.
The Bacich Library is a delightful place to learn and read! Mrs. Warnick, Bacich Teacher Librarian, has developed a program with lessons for grades K-4 that integrate curriculum, library, information literacy, Common Core Standards, and include:
- a library that, pre-pandemic, was open to kids before school, during recess, lunch and after school
- a website and blog for students to access learning from school and home
CROSSWALK AT WOLF GRADE & SIR FRANCIS DRAKE
The new crosswalk at the Wolfe Grade and Sir Francis Drake intersection, located in front of Bacich and Sloat Nursery is now opened. When considering your child’s route to school, please plan ahead for this change.
Even though the new crosswalk crosses Sir Francis Drake heading towards Bacich, for student safety, we have made the following recommendations about its use:
- Students should continue to use the current route they’ve been using 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.
