Dear KSD Community,
I hope you had a wonderful Spring Recess and are looking forward to the final trimester of the 2021-2022 school year. Please join us tomorrow Tuesday, April 12 at 5 p.m. for our Regular Meeting of the Board of Trustees. Attendees may join in person in the Kentfield School District Conference Room located at 750 College Avenue or via Zoom Webinar. The meeting will have an education showcase highlighting the Kent Enrichment Program as well as providing general district updates and addressing other timely topics.
Take good care,

District Announcements
Community Health Update
Prior to the Spring Recess there was an increase in COVID positive cases in grades 3rd and 4th at Bacich school. Based on this data, KSD collaborated with Public Health to offer two COVID mitigation strategies:
- Provide site based COVID Testing on Monday, April 11 and Wednesday, April 13.
- Reinstate indoor face covering for grades 3rd and 4th from April 11 to April 15. On April 18th, all grade levels will resume recommended indoor face coverings.
Thank you in advance for your vigilance and care in minimizing COVID transmission across our schools and the Kentfield/Greenbrae community
If your child tests positive for COVID-19, please report it to our school nurse, Laurel Yrun at lyrun@kentfieldschools.org immediately.
