As we wrap up the school year, I want to take a moment to thank you for being an essential part of our school community. Your partnership, support, and care make a meaningful difference in the lives of our students - your children - every single day.

This year brought its share of challenges, but together our community grew stronger—demonstrating greater curiosity, a deepening commitment to our student community, and creative participation in navigating uncharted territory.

At the heart of everything we do is a shared commitment: to ensure that every student, and every adult who supports them, leaves our schools feeling happy, proud, and connected every single day. Together, we are building a culture where learning is joyful, families feel welcomed, and every child knows they belong.

We’re also looking ahead with excitement. This summer, we’re continuing important modernization projects with the Measure G bond funds at Strawberry Point and Tam Valley.  These updates will create safer, more engaging, and more functional spaces for our students and staff and are a direct reflection of our community’s investment in our schools.  We can't wait to welcome everyone back to campuses that are refreshed and revitalized.

Another thing we are happy to announce is that thanks to the generous support of Kiddo! and Early Childhood Marin, we are pleased to bring back our Transitional Kindergarten program and ensure full-time counseling services at every elementary school for the 2025-2026 school year. Our Middle School Wellness Coordinator will also be on campus daily to support our older students. 

As summer begins, I hope your family finds time to rest, recharge, and create joyful memories. Whether you're stepping away for a well-earned break or staying closely connected to our programs, please know how much we value you.

Thank you for being such an important part of our district. It’s an honor to work in partnership with you.
