KSD continues to monitor flooding, power outages, and road closures during this winter storm. More rain is expected late tonight through the early morning, with showers on and off through the day. The weather forecast also predicts an ongoing pattern of rain through the next week or two.

Our plan is to keep KSD schools open. In the unlikely event that we must close school prior to the start of the school day we will send a communication via ParentsSquare and post an update on our District homepage no later than 6:30 am. If there are circumstances during the school day where we need to close school while in session a parent notification will be provided, and adjustments will be made to safely release students to their parent/guardian.

Below are website links to access the most up to date information:

• The County of Marin Emergency Portal
• NSW Latest Forecast
• PG&E Outage Center

Although we are closing out the Measure D Bond, we remain committed to maintaining an independent oversight committee to oversee the use of the District’s parcel tax dollars approved by voters in March 2019.

If you are interested in serving on this committee, please email admin@kentfieldschools.org. The committee typically meets quarterly with each meeting running approximately one hour. Below are the remaining meetings for the 2022-23 school year.

January 18th and May 4th - all meetings are at 4pm at the KSD District Office, 750 College Ave.

Marin County Office of Education is excited to host another one stop Marin County Substitute Teacher Registration Fair on Friday, February 3 from 11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m.

Anyone interested in being a substitute teacher can attend – no registration required, walks welcome. MCOE will support with applications, live scan, required trainings.

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.

We are lucky to be in a community where there are safe routes for our children to walk, ride, skate, roll, or bike to school. In order to keep our safe routes to school a priority for the County we need a community volunteer to step up and represent the KSD as a Safe Routes to School Ambassador. If you are interested please email admin@kentfieldschools.org to help be a part of the solution for getting our kids to school safely!
