Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) |
The LCAP is a three-year, district-level plan that is updated annually. The plan describes the school district’s key goals for students as well as the specific actions (with expenditures) the district will take to achieve the goals and the means (metrics) used to measure progress. The LCAP addresses the needs of all students, including specific student groups, and all districts must specifically address English learners, foster youth, and low-income students. Our continued 2022-23 LCAP goals are:

COVID-19 Information and Resources |
More School-Provided COVID Tests Coming Home |
Due to the recent surge in Marin County, your students will be bringing home a box of two COVID tests. Within two days of receipt, please use one test on your child and report positive or negative results to Primary Health. You should be hearing from your child’s principal, if you haven’t already, about when those tests will be coming home as well as details for reporting results. Please use the extra test in accordance with the instructions on the box. |
Third Round of In-Home Test Kits Now Available from the US Government |
Every home in the U.S. is now eligible for a third round of free COVID-19 at-home test kits. Earlier this year, the U.S. government began a campaign to make at-home COVID-19 tests more accessible to the public. They mailed four sets of rapid antigen tests, free of charge, to any household who ordered them. This third round offers 8 free testing kits, doubling the number of kits offered in the previous two rounds. How to order your free at-home tests?

FOR PARENTS/GUARDIANS |
Raising the Bar As we get ready for summer, please join Raising the Bar, Keep Youth Events Substance Free, a Marin County-Wide Initiative, by promoting healthy modeling. This campaign aims to elevate kids’ experience in youth-oriented programs by changing the social norms around the consumption of alcohol and other substances. Parents, schools, program directors and community members work together to promote healthy choices and keep youth events substance-free. This program is not focused on eliminating adult alcohol use from our community, rather to be mindful of our substance use and behavior at youth gatherings. Let's work together to keep our youths safe and help reduce underage substance use in Marin. Visit Raising The Bar for more information. |
