Dear KSD Community!

As we prepare to open the gates and classroom doors we are filled with enthusiasm, anticipation and joy. The Kentfield School District is rising strong with a common goal of educating our youth and engaging with our community around our core beliefs of diversity, inspiration, and connection.

Our faculty arrived back on campus last week and spent time together reconnecting and setting intentions for a new school year. At staff meetings we dug into the work of how we as a school district will develop a socially conscious eighth grader through building a continuum of skills, knowledge, and attributes. We then spent a day working with facilitators Dr. Lori Watson and Marcus Moore to set tangible goals around maximizing the learning outcomes of our students. I commend the dedication and hard work of each and every member of our staff. Through using our collective wisdom coupled with clarity and purpose, we are well positioned to support our students to meet their potential academically and socially-emotionally.

As we embark on this new academic year, I am reminded of Henry Ford’s quote “Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress and working together is success.” Let us recognize the power of collaboration and community and embrace this notion of working as one to create a spectacular school year.

Sincerely,

Raquel Rose
Superintendent
