In this evening's site newsletters both principals, Mary Ann Spitzer and Grant Althouse, will be sharing an update about accessing your child’s MAP scores for grades 2nd–8th grades. Although the sites will be distributing this information at different time frames, we are moving forward with providing direct access to student’s progress as it relates to MAP performance. We hope you will find this information beneficial as you reflect on your child’s academic progress.
Air Quality Protocols
With warmer weather and anticipated Red Flag warning days ahead, we are providing the Air Quality Protocols for schools that were developed By Marin County Office of Education (MCOE) with guidance and direction from Public Health. These are the guidelines currently in place can be used if and when poor air quality is upon us. If we approach a period where air quality worsens into the very unhealthy range, we will receive guidance from MCOE and Public Health.
Air quality can be monitored on the AirNow.gov websites and resources are available on the MCOE website "Extreme Weather" page.
Each year in January/February school districts across the state begin the process for Fall Planning. Staff typically review current student enrollment, local attendance trends, and staffing patterns to project the number of classrooms to operate in the subsequent school year. The KSD has committed to maintaining an average class sizes as reflected below:
K-5*: Average Class Size 25 | 1st*: Average Class Size 22 | 6-8: Ratio ranges between 28-30
The number of projected KSD 2022-23 classrooms currently align with the above ratios. The KSD staff is closely monitoring enrollment patterns for the upcoming school year, in the event staffing adjustments are necessary. Please know Fall Planning is a moving target and adjustments to staff can happen throughout the spring into the fall prior to the opening of the new school year. Our goal as a school district is to ensure we staff based on the best interest of students while maintaining our fiduciary responsibility. If you have questions or concerns about preliminary plans for the 2022-2-23 school year, please do not hesitate to reach out to Raquel Rose at rrose@kentfieldschools.org.
Let Us Know - Fall Enrollment Planning - 2022-2023

Bacich Bears News
Dear Bacich Families,
Volunteer Tea on Friday, June 3 at 8:30 a.m. at the Bacich Community Center — Attention all Bacich parent/guardian volunteers! We want to thank you for all you have done for us and the Bacich students through your selfless volunteerism this school year. Please come to our annual Volunteer Tea where you will be showered with gratitude by our students at every grade level and even be serenaded by our 4th graders! Then, you will be treated to coffee, tea, and breakfast treats as a token of gratitude from our staff to you!
Bacich School Site Council Needs One New Member — It is time to open up the application process for School Site Council (SSC) members for the next school year. The School Site Council is made up of parents, teachers, and administrators who meet monthly to advise the principal on student academics, parent engagement and school safety. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn about the inner workings of our school and make an impact on its improvement. This committee reviews school data and programs in order to monitor our progress on Bacich's Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA). Throughout the year, the members update and improve upon the SPSA, and keep us headed in the right direction for student success.
We have only one spot open for the 2022-2023 school year! To apply, please fill out this google form by May 27, which asks for a short summary of your interest and qualifications to serve on this committee. I will then post these summaries for the school community to review and vote for the new member the week of May 30, with results announced Friday evening, June 3. The newly elected SSC member will be invited to attend our last meeting on June 6 at 3:15 p.m. If you have any questions about the SSC you may contact me or our chairperson, Alle Schreiber at alle.schreiber@gmail.com.
MAP Score Reporting — During the 2020-2021 school year, Kentfield School District began administering the Northwest Evaluation Association’s Measure of Academic Progress (NWEA MAP) Growth tests to students in 2nd through 8th grades. The purpose of MAP Growth is to determine what students are currently able to do and what students are ready to learn next. At Bacich this school year, we administered MAP Growth as a formative assessment in October 2021 and January 2022, and we plan to administer it one more time before the end of the school year. After these test administrations, we utilize the results alongside other classroom assessments to better understand our students’ strengths and areas of challenge, to inform day-to-day instructional decisions, and to infuse instructional support where needed. The final assessment will provide us important information to aid us in designing our instruction at the start of the 2022-2023 school year.
Along with your child’s trimester 3 report card at the end of the school year, we will make the MAP Growth Student Progress Report available for families to access in Aeries. The Report will reflect student achievement levels in reading and mathematics for each test administration they’ve completed since we started utilizing MAP Growth in 2020. When we release the scores, we will provide you with more detailed information on how to access and interpret the Student Progress Report. If you have any questions, you may contact the Bacich administration.
Have a great week!

Kent Falcons News
Dear Parents/Guardians,
During the 2020-2021 school year, Kentfield School District began administering the Northwest Evaluation Association’s Measure of Academic Progress (MAP) Growth tests to students in 2nd through 8th grades. The purpose of MAP Growth is to determine what students are currently able to do and what students are ready to learn next. At Kent this school year, we administered the MAP Growth assessment in November 2021 and March 2022, as a formative assessment. After those test administrations, we utilized the results alongside other classroom assessments to better understand our students’ strengths and areas of challenge, to inform day-to-day instructional decisions, and to infuse instructional support where needed.
This week we will make the MAP Growth Student Progress Report available for students and families to access in Aeries. Please note, the report that we are sharing is from the MAP Growth formative assessment from earlier in the year, these results are not from the recently administered CAASPP test. CAASPP results will be sent home at some point over the summer. The MAP Growth Student Progress Report reflects student achievement levels in reading and mathematics for each test administration they’ve completed since we started utilizing MAP Growth in 2020. On the Student Progress Report students can see their Rasch Unit (RIT) test score and National Percentile Rank, for each test administration. The RIT score indicates how your child performed in a subject, either math or reading (please see the below table for additional helpful information). The National Percentile Rank indicates how well your child has displayed skills in each subject compared to over four million students who take this test across the country.
Teachers in mathematics and English classes will commit a short period of class time this week to orient students in how to access their MAP Growth assessment results, and to reflect about how to interpret the results. Our interest in sharing these results with our students is to provide greater insights into how they are progressing in their learning, and to encourage reflection about habits of learning and instructional opportunities that may lead to increased confidence and success in the future.
We encourage you to review the MAP Growth results with your child as one data point to consider while discussing academic strengths and challenges. While digesting the information in the report, please consider that these assessments are only one method among many to quantify student learning and achievement, and should not be considered the ultimate representation of how your child is performing academically. Most importantly, encourage your child to reflect about areas they are feeling confident with this year, and how they plan to improve in their areas for growth.
Use the tables below to see how your child’s test score relates to grade-level achievement on the national norm scale. Compare your child’s March 2022 score to the “Spring Mean” score column. The SD or standard deviation tells you the amount (plus or minus) that accounts for about two thirds of all scores for that grade level across the country.
The below directions show how to access your child’s Student Progress Report from the Aeries system.
To View MAP Test Results:
- Go to the Student Info Menu and select Student Documents.
2. Click the red Acrobat icon to download/view the selected report as a PDF.
Lastly, English and mathematics teachers will be taking a few minutes at some point this week to discuss the student progress report with each student. These will be important conversations that include reflections about learning achieved over the year, test taking strategies employed during testing, and ideas for how each child can address areas of challenge. If you feel it would be helpful, please talk to your child about their Student Progress Report. Given the complexities of the end of the year, and other demands on teaching time, teachers will not have the capacity to respond to individual parent questions about these reports. Please contact school administration if you have any questions about how to access or interpret your child’s Student Progress Report, and please know that school staff will be using this information and more to help provide appropriate instruction for returning Kent students next year.
All my best,
Grant Althouse
Kent Principal

Love is Rad Summer Camps for Tween/Teen Girls
Love Is Rad is a tween/teen (ages 9-15 & ages 16-19) girls Self LOVE summer camp & workshop series (during the school year).
This workshop is designed by Tiana Baumsteiger to help tween & teen girls with the challenges they are currently facing. They will learn the tools of Self LOVE and Self Care and why it's vital for a happy life. They will learn how to honor all their emotions, how to remove blocks and access their self worth. We will speak about body awareness and body positivity. How to create a sacred space within their home. They will learn what their intuition is and how to open it up and allow it to guide them in their life. We will play games, learn from nature and connect to a deeper part of who they truly are. The girls will create a ceremony on the last day utilizing the tools they have learned and will then state their intentions to move forward into the new empowered selves.
"As a parent of a teen girl whose self-esteem was at its all time low, this magnificent workshop knocked on our door. The universe works in magical ways. I asked for help & we received it. Tiana came along with this wonderful, and very needed workshop for our teen daughter.
She started very shy and by the end she was glowing and still is. Her self love & attitude toward life has flourished. She has the tools needed for the pressures of social media, friends and everything in between. It is incredible how her perspective has changed. She knows her worth, she knows she is beautiful, she knows she is brave. Everything that Tiana shared with my daughter will stay forever. For that, there is no price you can pay. This was a gift for her.s a parent I want to say thank you Tiana! I am grateful I found you and the Love is Rad Workshop. We love you."
