KSPTA School Supplies Fundraiser

The District and KSPTA are continuing to work together to coordinate student school supplies. This past week the orders arrived and we are determining the best method to distribute these materials to students.

Technology Materials

All 3rd-8th grade students will be equipped with a district-owned Chromebook to use for Distance Learning, In-Person Learning, or a combination thereof. We will be asking our Kindergarten through 2nd grade students if they need devices at home to support their Distance Learning, and if so the district will equip them with an iPad. Distribution information will be provided soon.

Childcare Option

Marin Enrichment (ME) will be offering on-site childcare at Bacich School for KSD students and staff. New families can access the application here, returning ME families can access the application here. We are thankful to have such a strong partnership with Marin Enrichment as they will be setting up a system to support students with accessing their Distance Learning and devise small groups of students that can work together, while maintaining safety protocols and procedures outlined by public health.
