KSD News
Dear KSD Community,
Today marks our first official day of spring! A time to welcome a season full of hope, joy, and positive growth as we reflect on all that we have to celebrate and honor at this time of year.
At our Principal chats/coffees this month our administrative teams focused on two key areas of interest for our KSD students - Engaging all Learners and Community Connections. Our sites shared strategies they have employed over the course of this year to support student learning and addressed ways we are cultivating a sense of inclusivity, safety, and belonging at our sites.
During the month of February our students, staff, and parents/guardians engaged in the YouthTruth survey to help further inform us about these areas by responding to questions relating to engagement, relationships, culture, academic challenge, belonging, and instructional methods. At our April 4th Regular Meeting of the Board of Trustees a YouthTruth representative will join us to share the KSD’s survey results and how we may want to proceed with the feedback.
Take good care,
Raquel Rose
Superintendent

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.
Learn more about the DHCS campaign and the end of the continuous coverage requirement.
