Join Public Health for a presentation with local health experts dedicated to answering questions related to pediatric vaccinations. Based on the recent FDA advisory committee recommending emergency use authorization of the Pfizer-BioNTech, Public Health anticipates additional steps to be taken in the coming days that may result in eligibility for 5 to 11-year-olds to receive the COVID-19 vaccine as soon as the first weekend in November.

Pediatric Vaccination Q&A: November 3, 2021 6-7 p.m.

Public Health has been closely following the progress of the FDA and CDC and the timeline for approval of the Pfizer-BioNTech Vaccine for 5 to 11-year-olds and are projecting that elementary school students in this age range may be eligible to receive the vaccine as early as this weekend!

As soon as approval is announced (likely November 4) registration for Marin County School COVID-19 Pediatric Vaccination Weekend Super PODs will open on the Marin County HHS Vaccine Finder website. Walk-in registration will also be available at all Super PODs.

Here is the current travel guidance:

• Unvaccinated TK-12 students who travel out of state or the U.S. may return to school under modified quarantine
• TK-12 students should test on Day 5 after returning home and can stay in school as long as they remain symptom free and the Day 5 test is negative
• Students should refrain from socializing outside of school and participating in club sports or extracurricular activities outside of school or home until they receive a negative test result
• Families returning from international travel will need to test negative before returning to the U.S.

We continue to work with the County of Marin to secure a date to host a local KSD community forum related to the proposed Project Homekey at 1251 S. Eliseo Dr.. Once the date for the gathering is confirmed we will update the community. Please stay tuned.

Please see the Community Events section for more information on Project Homekey.

This past summer and fall we continued to put the final touches on various district bond projects including the installation of security cameras at both of our school sites. The purpose of these cameras is to offer surveillance on our school sites and to deter any unwanted activities.

Per the KSD Board Policy 3515 prior to the operation of the surveillance system signage must be posted and the community shall be made aware of surveillance occurring. The cameras have been installed outside our campus and directed towards outside activity and not pointing into buildings. Please be aware that the recordings captured by these cameras may be used in disciplinary proceedings, and referred to local law enforcement, as appropriate. The cameras will not be fully activated until all signage is appropriately posted and visible to the public.
