The 2022-2023 Comprehensive School Safety Plan (CSSP) for the Kentfield School District was just approved by the Board of Trustees at their February 7 meeting. Required by CA Education Code and updated annually by March 1, CSSPs are designed to ensure school districts prepare for emergencies, address potential risks to campuses, and create safe, secure, and peaceful learning environments for students and school staff.

The CSSP is the overarching safety plan for our district, and it includes 10 key components, including the Bacich and Kent emergency preparedness plans, along with other documents and policies that outline how we foster social, emotional, and physical safety for all members of our school communities. We are proud of our District’s focus on safety and ensuring that our schools are safe, nurturing places for our students to learn, play, and grow.

The KSD administration invites the community to learn more about our District Budget. HERE is the KSD Budget 101 community slide deck that offers current details and stay tuned for a video highlighting this information shortly. You can also hear this presentation live at the next KSPTA meeting on March 3, 8:30-10:30 a.m. at Kent Middle School.

In partnership with the Marin Sheriff's Office, please join us for an evening of hands-on education with online safety. Parents and guardians will learn about many social media sites and how you can keep your children safe from online predators. Learn more at the Vigilant Parent Initiative website, and register for our February 16 at 5:30 p.m. session in the Bacich Library here. Translation will be provided.

The CDC COVID-19 Community Level is low (case rates and hospitalizations) and the Marin COVID-19 wastewater levels (a helpful metric for local transmission levels) can be found here. MCPH advises persons to consider wearing a mask at schools indoors, especially if they or someone in their household is immunocompromised or at high risk for severe illness.

We are also noticing student cases have been increasing for the past six weeks, so please stay vigilant. California Department of Public Health encourages all students and staff to test for COVID-19 IF they feel sick; AFTER exposure, travel, or large gatherings; and BEFORE events or visiting high-risk people.

Please know that our school offices have COVID tests available if needed. Thank you for your support.

Please reference this exposure notice for information on symptoms, communicability, and prevention. (English I Spanish).

Please keep your child home if they are sick. It's not too late to get your flu vaccine. Please contact our school nurse Laurel Yrun (lyrun@kentfieldschools.org) with any questions you may have about how to navigate illness and school this year.
