Bacich Information Channels

Bacich's Website

Find out about all things Bacich and the Kentfield School District, access teacher/class websites, discover local resources, and read archived district newsletters.

School Calendar

All events for both the schools as well as the District. Please be aware that the information shown on the calendar may change because of last minute conflicts. Therefore, it would be best to check the calendar prior to an event, so you know you have the most current information.

District Newsletter

Weekly, on Monday evening, the Kentfield School District sends an email newsletter using the parent emails stored in the Aeries Student Information System.

The newsletter has important announcements, a calendar of events for the upcoming week, a letters from Bacich administrators. The newsletter also provides information from Safe Routes to School, KSPTA, KIK, and local organizations. In an effort to reduce the amount of emails our families receive, the newsletter is our main communication channel.

If you are not automatically receiving a weekly email with the link to the most current newsletter please send an email to data@kentfieldschools.org.

Specific Grade Levels or All Bacich Families Emails

When necessary the Bacich school office, the Kentfield district office, the PTA, or PTA Parent Education will send out e-mail blasts to parents to alert them to specific situations or events.

If You Are Not Receiving School Emails

Periodically we receive notification from parents that they are not receiving emails from the school or that they no longer are receiving email from the school. We suggest checking the following if either occurs.

• Check your email address is correct in the Aeries Parent Portal.
• Check your email system's "spam" or "junk mail" folder to verify that the school's emails are not being sent there.
• If you had been receiving email from the school and no longer are, your spam filter might have just recently decided that school mail is spam. Please check your spam folder regularly. Often times, important emails get filtered to these folders. Click this link to download more detailed instructions.
• If you are using a government or business email address and are not receiving school email, contact the person at your office who administers your email system and verify with them that the business' email filter has not been blocking school mail, or sending school email to an organization-wide spam folder before it even gets to you.

Voice Alert System

The District uses a Voice Alert System to send voice alerts to the phone numbers listed in each family's Aeries Parent Portal contact information area. In most cases, an e-mail is sent at the same time as a back up to make sure the information has been received.

Text Messaging

Text messages are sent during emergency school closures, an emergency need for pickups, emergency situations,, and other similar types of events, as well as to notify families of messages that have been sent to email or to the Communications Feed. Every participant has the ability to opt out of text receipt for non-emergency messages. Please note that the district is unable to receive text messages except through the "Direct Message" feature in Communications.

Aeries Parent Portal

• The Aeries Parent Portal will allow you to check your student's grades and attendance, as well as view and update your family's information. This is where your Emergency Information, your E-Mail address and other family information is stored on enrollment, and where data confirmation is performed annually.
• The information stored here is how we contact you for all types of reasons. Emergency, E-Mail blasts, Phone Contact etc. It is very important to make sure your e-mail address and emergency information is kept up to date.
