KSD News
Dear KSD Community,
Today was quite a challenging day for our students and staff as we weathered the storm, dealt with a power outage at Kent Middle School, and addressed heating issues at Bacich Elementary School. We are grateful for the resilience, patience, and calm displayed among our students and staff throughout the course of the day.
At this time our school sites are continuing to experience power outages, which directly impact our school operations. We are in communication with PG&E and will continue to monitor the situation through the evening and early morning. If power continues to be out we will close school and notify the school community no later than 6:30 a.m. via ParentSquare. If during the school day we have any unusual conditions and/or experience power outages we will offer timely, transparent, and clear communication and may initiate an emergency school closure.
Thank you for your support as we work towards doing our best on behalf of our students, staff, and families.

District Announcements
Budget 101
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. You can also hear this presentation live at the KSPTA meeting on March 3, 8:30-10:30 a.m. at Kent Middle School.
Important Medi-Cal Information
State Launches Campaign to Help Californians Keep Medi-Cal Coverage
During the COVID-19 pandemic, federal rules prohibited states from disenrolling anyone from Medicaid. This “continuous coverage” requirement allowed millions of Californians to keep Medi-Cal coverage during an unprecedented health crisis.
However, new federal legislation ends the continuous coverage requirement in March. Starting in April, California will have 14 months to resume normal renewal processes for all Medi-Cal enrollees. The Department of Health Care Services has launched a statewide campaign with a new landing page, www.dhcs.ca.gov/pages/keep-your-medi-cal.aspx.
Enrollees who have moved or changed their phone number or email since 2020 need to update their contact information with Medi-Cal so they don’t miss alerts or notices about their renewal. Medi-Cal beneficiaries should update their information today by contacting Marin HHS Public Assistance at: 1-877-410-8817 or visit www.benefitscal.com.
Learn more about the DHCS campaign and the end of the continuous coverage requirement.

Bacich Bears News
Dear Bacich Families,
Welcome back from the Mid-Winter Break! This year, those of us who were in town were treated to some rare snow on Mt. Tamalpais! I hope those of you who traveled away from home had a safe and enjoyable trip.
Bacich Talent Show – 2023
I am excited to host the Bacich 2023 Talent Show on Wednesday morning for our student body. This annual event showcases the many types of performing talents our third and fourth grade participating students possess.
There are many students who have various talents and don’t often get the opportunity to showcase them during the course of a school day. Providing opportunities to perform in front of an audience can help our students develop self-confidence. Encouraging students to participate in the talent show provides an opportunity for students to discover what they are good at. These opportunities help to foster positive feelings about school for our Bacich Bears, which can also lead to increased academic learning.
Our participating students attended several rehearsals during lunchtime and after school. They have worked really hard to practice their routines. We look forward to celebrating their efforts to improve their talents and prepare for the show. I want to acknowledge and appreciate the families of the performers! Thank you for your support and partnership. I also want to thank Bacich parent, Amy Wheeler, who volunteered her time to coordinate the event and support all of the rehearsals! Thank you also to Becky Poon, our beloved music teacher, who also contributed her time and expertise to help prepare the students for the show.
While we are unable to invite our parent community to this event due to space limitations, we are thankful for your support.
Third Grade Chorus Concert
This week, we also get to host the Third Grade Concert! All of our third grade students have worked hard to learn new songs and practice for this fun event. We are fortunate to have a robust music program that includes choral performance for our elementary students. We hope all third grade families will be able to join us on Thursday evening at 6:30 p.m. for the concert. Our entire student body will get to enjoy the concert on Friday morning!
I hope you enjoy the final days of February and the beginning of March!

Baseball Field Construction
Ross Valley Little League (RVLL), is funding and managing an improvement project of the majors' baseball field at the northwest corner of the Bacich field. The project includes the construction of two new enclosed dugouts with entry gates. The project also includes increasing the height of the baseball fence to prevent foul balls from being hit onto Sir Francis Drake Blvd. A new concrete pad for the bleachers and shed will be installed. RVLL has plans for similar improvements to the minors' field (the field closest to the main parking lot). The timing of the minors' project has not been finalized. Over the February mid-winter break (February 20 -24), the baseball field grass will be replaced.
All of the work is being completed by licensed and insured contractors and all workers have received clearance to work on-site during the school day. We do not anticipate much of an impact on our students during the course of this project. The route of the track has been slightly altered due to the temporary construction fencing. All construction vehicle traffic will occur outside of the school day. The project will be completed by March 10 at the latest, with RVLL opening day taking place on March 11.
These improvements, especially the new grass, will benefit all of our students. We appreciate the partnership with Ross Valley Little League and all they provide for our community.

Kent Falcons News
Dear Kent Middle School Families,
Over the past two weeks, two of our Kent Falcon 8th graders have been featured on KQED public radio, sharing perspective pieces composed as a part of our 8th grade expressions class at Kent.
On February 16, Ami Bailey shared I Paint Myself Brown, a moving composition about identity and growing up in a mixed race family.
On February 24, Abe Marshall shared It’s Not Just Water, a revealing description of his journey with hearing loss and the social impact of wearing a hearing aid.
Ami and Abe drafted and refined these compositions as a part of their 8th grade Expressions class at Kent, a required enrichment course for 8th graders where students learn to write poetry, personal reflections, and short stories. The class focuses on personal reflection and capturing ideas and commentary through writing, as well as the expression and performance of finalized compositions. I encourage you to listen to Ami and Abe read their writing through the links above, as their confident voices bring even more life to their thoughtful words.
Congratulations to Ami and Abe for this public acknowledgment of their hard work! Thank you to teacher Myra Anderson for supporting all of our 8th grade students in their writing and reflection through our expressions class. I’m thrilled to be able to offer our students this important course in 8th grade, where they can apply all of that they’ve learned in their language arts classes to capture and express their ideas for the world to hear.
I’m looking forward to the week ahead with our Kent Falcons!

Our 2022 team posted scores from 35 to to 45 for all matches played and the team took second out of the 12 schools in the league - WAY TO GO FALCONS!!!
To help manage expectations the following criteria must be met to try out for the team.
