Literacy Updates
Scholastic Book Fair is HERE!
Our Scholastic Book Fair is HERE! We're excited to offer eWallet, a safe and convenient cash-free way for students and families to shop for books and other favorites at the Fair.
What Is eWallet?
An eWallet is a secure digital payment method that allows students and families to shop the Fair without carrying cash. You can easily add funds and share your child's eWallet link with grandparents, relatives, and friends who may want to contribute toward new books.
Think of eWallet as a prepaid spending account created specifically for the Book Fair. You can set it up up to three weeks before the Fair and add funds whenever it's convenient.
How to Create an eWallet
Visit our school's Book Fair homepage https://www.scholastic.com/bf/bayviewmiddleschool.
Sign in to your Scholastic account or create one.
Click Create an eWallet.
Select I'm a Parent.
Add funds and, if you'd like, share your child's eWallet link with family and friends.
Looking forward to seeing you all at the Bay View LMC during conferences.
⏰ Make Time for Reading
Middle school students are busy! Between school, homework, activities, sports, friends, and technology, reading can easily get pushed aside.
The good news is that students do not need to read for an hour every night to build a reading habit.
Even 10–20 minutes of reading can make a difference.
Help your child look for small pockets of reading time throughout the week:
Before bed
During a car ride
While waiting for practice or an appointment
After homework
On weekends
The key is consistency. Reading a little bit several times each week can help students build reading stamina and confidence.
This month, encourage your child to find one regular time when reading can become part of their routine.
Small habits can lead to big growth!
PREVIOUS NEWS
The Giving Tree
The Giving Tree will be starting to register families for our December Holiday Store. Please reach out to your school social worker if you think your student may benefit from assistance with The Giving Tree. For our generous community, look for information in future district communications about donating to our Holiday Store and volunteering!
This month we are collecting canned soup. Please feel free to send donations with your students to put in the collections bins/carts near the main office of school. Items can also be dropped off during school hours. The Giving Tree appreciates the community support in helping ensure food is not a barrier to a student’s education.

Student Services
A Message from our Bay View Student Services Team
Due to the increase in virtual counseling appointments scheduled during the school day, we want to make sure we can provide adequate private space. If your child will be having scheduled virtual sessions with an outside provider, we would like your partnership in obtaining a signed Release of Information in order to assist your child with any technology or connection issues that may occur during their appointments.
We ask that you provide at least a 3 day notice per each virtual appointment in order to ensure that we have adequate and private space available to your child. If you notify the school the day of an appointment, we cannot guarantee an adequate space or that the message will be received in time to call your child out of class. We know that many appointments are already scheduled, but if you are planning on scheduling future appointments during the school day, we would appreciate it, if possible, avoiding Monday appointments. We do not have the same spaces available as we do on other days. If you need help finding the best time for your child to have scheduled appointments, please don't hesitate to reach out. Thank you for your help and partnership.

STUDENT PICK-UP PROTOCOL
If you are picking a student up during the school day, you must come into the main office and sign the student out with your Driver's License. If someone other than you or your emergency contacts is picking up your student, please contact the office to let them know who is picking your student up. Students are not allowed to leave during school hours via bike or walking without prior approval from the main office and Principal.
HEALTH ROOM PROTOCOL
If your student is not feeling well, they need to follow protocol and come to the health room to report their illness prior to contacting home. Students should not be using their iPad to email a parent or texting a parent to pick them up. This will eliminate the spread of illnesses to other students and will make the office aware of students being picked up prior to parent arrival.
Weather-Related School Closings
Families are automatically opted in to receive texts for weather-related emergencies and all school emergencies. Learn more on our website.
