Bay View welcomes you back 2 school

Dear Families-

Thank you for coming to our Open House last night. What a great turnout! We are so excited to get the school year started and I hope you were able to connect with our teachers and staff.

One announcement I wish to make is that our long time custodian, Laurie Pappas will be retiring on Sept. 5th. Laurie has worked in our district for over 23 years and has worked tirelessly to keep Bay View in tip top shape. Congratulations on your retirement and enjoy your next adventure.

Also, please see below for our drop off and pick up procedures and cell phone policy.

Have a wonderful Labor Day weekend and see you on Tuesday.

Kind Regards,
Diane Morin

• For the safety and security of our students and staff, we kindly remind you that parents and guardians are not permitted to walk their children to their lockers or classrooms upon arrival or at any other time of the day. This policy helps maintain a structured and secure environment by minimizing unnecessary foot traffic in the hallways and ensuring that our school day begins smoothly for everyone. We appreciate your cooperation in dropping off your child at the designated office entrance. Staff members will assist them in transitioning to their day. If you have any special circumstances or concerns, please contact Diane Morin in the main office to discuss accommodations.

• All parent and guardian access to the school beyond the main entrance must be coordinated through the main office. Upon arrival, please check in at the office, where you will sign in and receive a visitor's badge. This process allows us to monitor who is in the building at all times and respond promptly to any needs.
