KSD News
Dear KSD Community,
Special thanks to the KSPTA, staff, parents/guardians, family members, neighbors, and our students for making this year’s KSPTA Readathon such a remarkable success. Promoting literacy and the joy of reading with our children while raising essential funds to support our schools was spectacular. This fabulous event-filled, reading extravaganza and fundraiser was an inspiring demonstration of how much we as a community can accomplish when we work together with a common goal.
Thank you for your support, generosity, and engagement to the success of our children
Take Good Care,
Raquel Rose

Thank you to everyone for your participation in the KSPTA READATHON! What a fun week it's been! At Bacich, Readathon day was filled with Waldo searching, PJs, stuffies, and most importantly READING! At Kent, Matt de la Peña enlightened the students, and book trivia stumped them. The bookmark contest entries look amazing!

Important Medi-Cal Information
State Launches Campaign to Help Californians Keep Medi-Cal Coverage
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.
