KSD News

Dear KSD Community,

The positive energy and excitement of our students is felt all around our school campuses. With only four days left in this school year we have packed our time with a variety of special events to help our children celebrate the conclusion of this memorable year. This week students will receive their yearbooks, participate in end-of-year activities such as visiting Hal Brown Park, attending a swim celebration, participating in promotion or graduation, and bidding farewell to their teachers, friends, and school community for a summer of rejuvenation. I thank you for your unwavering support as we collectively navigated the transition back to a more traditional school year, and I look forward to a bright future ahead. The 2022-2023 school year will continue to be focused on supporting our students’ academic and social emotional growth as well as cultivating our community connection and partnership.

Thank you for a fantastic 2021-2022 school year – and I look forward to many positive years ahead!

Happy Summer KSD!

KSD Highlights

THANK YOU Volunteers!

Over the last two weeks both Kent and Bacich expressed gratitude and appreciation to our parent/guardian school volunteers by hosting a morning coffee/treats reception. From carline to fun lunch, art exploration to mathletes, we are quite lucky to be surrounded by a community of adults that are open and willing to give their time, energy, and support in helping make our schools special. Thank you to our students for their kindness and care in sending messages of appreciation to all our school volunteers.

KSD Music Highlights

Musical Talents Abound

Over the last two months our Bacich and Kent music programs have been highlighted in our community and at our school sites. Our 4th grade students participated in the Kentfield-Greenbrae Historical Society (KGHS) event on May 7th, where students, lead by Ms. Poon, sang their hearts out. While last week Mr. Martinez hosted music concerts for 5th and 6th grades band/strings and zero period Instrumental/Choir and we even got to see a Karaoke competition. Each event offered our community a sense of what special learning and experiences the Kentfield School District provides our students. We are grateful for our talented instructions, dedicated students and the unwavering support of KIK.

Congratulations Bacich!

Dear Bacich Elementary School,

Congratulations, you have officially achieved a Zero Waste Certification for the 2021 - 2022 school year!

KSD Fall Planning, 2022-23

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

Dear Bacich Community,

We have arrived at the last week of school! There continue to be a lot of exciting events happening at each grade level that may need some preparation at home or, happily, include parent/guardian participation! Please check your Parent Square messages frequently, as grade level and class information is coming out almost daily.

We have a few fun school wide events this week:

Bacich Step Up Day – On Monday morning, students from each grade level "stepped up" and visited next year’s grade level classroom for a short activity. Fourth graders got to go back to kindergarten to have some fun!

8th Grade Clap Through – On Wednesday morning, the 8th grade students from Kent will walk over to Bacich. The Bacich students will line up on the blacktop to make a tunnel for the 8th graders to walk through, while they clap and cheer them on. The 8th graders will stick around to give a gift to the school and then sing the Bacich Bell Song with the 4th graders.

4th Grade Promotion – On Friday morning at 8:30 a.m., we will hold the 4th grade promotion outside on the blacktop, and all of our students will be present to witness the 4th graders’ celebration. There will be seating for the families of the 4th graders. Please be prepared with sunglasses and even a hat if you will be attending.

Spirit Days – Wednesday is Wacky Wednesday; Thursday is Sports Day and Friday is Beach/Summer Day.

We have a winner! Thank you for taking the time to vote for our newest School Site Council (SSC) member. It was a close race, but Denise Strack came out on top. We are happy to welcome Denise to the Bacich SSC for 2022-2023.

Summer Academics – I have already seen reference to possible summer activities and academic practice in some recent Parent Square newsletters. More ideas will be headed your way this week or sent home will your child. Most of our online programs continue to be accessible all summer such as LexiaCore 5, Learning Ally, and Zearn. The Corte Madera Library will also be running their summer program. Remember, the best summer activity to keep your child’s brain active and learning is reading!

I want to take this opportunity to thank the Bacich community for welcoming me with open arms. I felt your care and support as we navigated education during a pandemic! I will miss my Bacich family.

I wish you all a joyful and healthy summer.

Warmly,

Mary Ann Spitzer

Kent Falcons News

Kent Principal Grant Althouse

Greetings Kent Community,

The final week of school is upon us, and we look forward to this time of celebration and acknowledgement with each of our students. I hope that your child concludes this week with confidence and pride for the many accomplishments they have achieved during this school year. On Friday afternoon, we celebrate the 8th grade class that will be officially graduating from the Kentfield School District and promoting to high school. The graduation ceremony will be on the Kent Middle School field from 2:30 to 4 p.m., and is open to any community member who may like to come and cheer on our graduating class of 2022.

Summer break can present a welcomed refuge from the academic rigors of the school year, yet it is important to maintain some healthy literacy and numeracy habits even when outside of school. To assist with book selection for our falcons over the summer, school librarian Rebecca Jelen has compiled extensive and inspiring summer reading lists for each grade level. The purpose of summer reading is to promote student choice, extend learning beyond the classroom, introduce students to genres of literature that they will encounter throughout the coming school year, and offer new perspectives on the people, places, and ideas that shape students’ worlds and experiences. As a part of their summer reading, each returning student is required to read three books from their grade level list OR three books of their choice. Maintaining daily reading habits over the summer helps to ensure that students continue to build reading strategies and skills that will lead to success with the next grade level’s curriculum.

While experiencing summer break with your child, encourage dialogue about their perspectives on current events, and look to find connections between summer experiences and concepts explored at school. Podcasts and online learning channels can be another great way to kickstart the pre-teen/young-teen critical thinking brain, and can encourage powerful dialogue. Consider resources like Crash Course Videos on Youtube, or Podcasts like Star Talk Radio, But Why?, or Throughline Podcast (7th/8th). Please review content for appropriateness prior to sharing with your child, but do consider that podcasts are a great way to introduce your child to intellectual discourse while experiencing summer break.

On June 10, we also say farewll to a number of beloved staff members retiring from Kentfield School District. Please join me in congratulating 6th grade science teacher Alison Griffin, 6th grade mathematics teacher Tim Lentini, school counselor Heidi Longo, administrative assistant to the principal Lisa Sandberg, and 5th grade teacher Jennifer Sterling. Over their many years of service these incredible professionals have nurtured and guided thousands of children through their middle school experience with expertise and compassion. We wish our retiring educators health and happiness in all of their future endeavors!

Enjoy this final week of school at Kent, and may your summers bring you relaxation and joy! We’ll see our returning students back at Kent on August 24!

All my best,

Grant Althouse
Kent Principal

Kent Summer Reading Lists for Rising 5th–8th Graders

Summer Reading: The purpose of summer reading is to promote student choice, extend learning beyond the classroom, introduce students to genres of literature that they will encounter throughout the coming school year, and offer new perspectives on the people, places, and ideas that shape students’ worlds and experiences. Reading transports us out of our daily lives and into worlds we can connect and empathize with, opening our hearts and minds to new experiences and ways of life.

Each student is required to read three books from their grade level list OR three books of their choice. If you would like to continue your reading beyond that, choose more books from your grade level list or from the lists before or ahead of yours. Books that are for older students increase in the complexity of subject matter and reading level. Books that are considered “young adult” are noted with an asterix and contain more mature content. Here is a tic-tac-toe board for you to fill in if you want to keep track of what you read.

All books can be found in print from the Marin County Free Library, as an Ebook or audiobook on Sora (accessed through the Kent Library Website), or on Learning Ally. Visit the Kent Library homepage for instructions on how to use these resources throughout the summer! Also, don’t forget to check out our amazing local bookstore Book Passage and mention Kent when you check out so we can earn funds to buy more books for next school year!

Next year’s All School Read is Rolling Warrior by Judith Heumann. We are encouraging all families who are able to get a copy of this book in preparation for the 2022-2023 school year. Click here for a description of the book!

If you have any questions or need MORE book recommendations, email Mrs. Jelen at rjelen@kentfieldschools.org. Don’t forget to follow the Kent Library on Instagram throughout the summer for book recommendations, author recommendations and news @kentmiddleschoollibrary.

Happy Summer Reading, Falcons!

Commission members collectively identify issues they are passionate about, then create and implement social justice campaigns to create positive change. Over the past year, the Youth Commission focused on education, equity, mental health, youth substance use, and LGBTQ issues in Marin. The commission empowers young people with skills, information, and organizational support so they can participate within and significantly impact the political, educational, recreational, and social service systems in their community.

The Youth Leadership Institute, which oversees the commission with the County of Marin, is eager to receive applications from members of marginalized populations. Applicants must live or attend school in Marin and be able to attend four meetings each month.

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."
