Important Notice for Parents Dropping Off Students in Surrounding Campus Streets

If you are choosing to drop your child off in neighborhoods surrounding Kent Middle School, please ensure that your child exits the vehicle on the right hand side and follows all traffic laws like crossing streets in crosswalks. As the driver, please ensure that you are not blocking private driveways and that you follow relevant traffic laws when you re enter the flow of traffic. Thank you for your attention to student safety in the neighborhoods around our school.

Bikes & Crosswalk Safety

Please remember that while crossing any street on bike, scooter, or skateboard students must walk their bikes across the crosswalk.

We thank our parents for reminding their children and reinforcing this important safety measure.

Please reference these tips from Safe Routes to School about bike safety.

If your child is planning on applying to a private high school for the 2022/2023 school year, please read the important information about the process for teacher/administrative recommendations and transcript requests. The final date to have all requests for teacher recommendations and transcripts, is FRIDAY, DECEMBER 10, 2021.

STUDENTS are responsible for completing the following steps to prepare for private high school applications:

• Go to the website of the school you are applying to, to learn their process. Most schools use a direct link for teacher/admin recommendations, transcripts and test scores. Many schools use an uploading system, such as Ravenna. If Ravenna is being used, PLEASE MAKE SURE TO SET UP AN ACCOUNT. Use AE Kent Middle School in Kentfield, CA as the school currently attending, AND LIST the SCHOOL(S) you are applying to.
• Students are to provide the following information to me, via email at: privateschoolrequests@kentfieldschools.org:
  • A list of every school applying to
  • Name of teachers asked to write a teacher recommendation. Most schools require a current 8th grade math and language arts teacher
  • Name of the administrator asked to write recommendation. This is either, Principal, Grant Althouse, Vice Principal, Wendy Holmes, our Counselor, Heidi Longo
  • A list of extracurricular activities and interests

It is the student's responsibility to send the direct link, or the link to the uploading system, to the requested staff member. All transcript, attendance and test score requests need to go through me. I will follow up with the teachers and administrator to make sure all requests have been submitted.

If there are any changes along the way, or your student decides not to apply, PLEASE let me know ASAP.

Thank you, and I look forward to helping in the private school process. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Kind Regards,
Jeanne Sellers
