Parent Discussion Evening: Exploring Challenging Topics
Has your child ever made a comment about skin color that felt challenging to respond to? Do you ever wonder how to talk with your child about privilege or socioeconomic diversity? Do you wonder if there’s a right age to start having these conversations with your children?
Let’s work on it together! Come join in on a conversation around these topics where we can share knowledge, experience, wonderings and fears, and learn from each other. There’s no one right way to do it!
This parent education event will be focused on getting comfortable talking about these topics with each other as a foundation to build meaningful conversations with our children.
Time and Place:Tuesday, October 28, 5:30–6:30 pmBacich Library

Come see the Kent student performers take the stage for this year’s musical, Peter Pan JR.
One starry night, Peter Pan and his mischievous fairy sidekick, Tinkerbell, whisk Wendy, John, and Michael Darling away to Neverland, where they encounter the daring Brave Girls, a ticking crocodile, a band of bumbling pirates, and the villainous Captain Hook. With unforgettable songs like “I’m Flying,” “I Won’t Grow Up,” and “Never Never Land,” this show is bursting with magic, warmth, and adventure.
Perfect for dreamers of all ages, Peter Pan JR. is a heartwarming reminder that growing up is optional—and that with a little faith, trust, and pixie dust, anything is possible!
Appropriate for all ages (calling all Bacich Bears!). Runtime is 60 minutes.
Showtimes at Kent:

Friday, November 14 at 6:30pm
Saturday, November 15 at 2:30pm and 6:30pm

Parent Ed. Event (Dec. 2)
2025-12-02 18:30 - 19:45 | Kent Middle School, 800 College Ave, Kentfield, CA, 94904, United States
TK-8th Grade Parent/Caregiver Ed: So.Many.Screens by ScreenSense

Tuesday, Dec. 2, 6:30–7:45 p.m., Kent Library, view flyer in English & Spanish.

Parents and caregivers are flooded with tech decisions—and many say it’s their toughest parenting challenge. Creating shared norms around early tech use can take pressure off families (and kids). Our presenters from ScreenSense will help normalize talking openly — and in community — about the nonstop tech choices families face. They’ll break down what current research shows, how to keep tech in check, and ways to reduce online harm by age and stage of development. They will also highlight the IRL (In Real Life) experiences that matter most for healthy development and how communities can support one another. The presentation will include an introduction to the Marin countywide collective action movement: Kids IRL.

You can learn more about ScreenSense and Kids IRL here.
If you cannot attend in person or prefer to join via Zoom, please use this link.
