Dear Families of the Bay
Happy New Year!
We hope you had a relaxing and joyful winter break with your loved ones. As we welcome students back, we’re excited to start this next chapter together, full of opportunities for growth and success.
This week, students will revisit our school-wide expectations to help everyone transition smoothly into the new year. We’ll be focusing on key areas like our cell phone policy, bathroom expectations, and other important guidelines that contribute to a positive and respectful learning environment for all.
Your support in reinforcing these expectations is so valuable—it helps ensure that all students have the opportunity to thrive both academically and socially. Together, we can make this year a great one for our entire school community!
Thank you for your partnership, and welcome back!

Reinforcing School Cell Phone Policy
As we kick off this new year, we’re focused on creating a learning environment where all students can thrive. To support this, we’re asking for your help in reinforcing our school’s cell phone and technology expectations.
Students are required to keep their cell phones, earbuds, AirPods, and other personal devices securely stored in their lockers during the school day. This policy is in place to reduce distractions and help foster a more engaged and productive learning environment.
We appreciate your partnership in helping our students build positive habits and stay focused on their education. Please take a moment to remind your child about this expectation and discuss why it’s important for their success.
Your support is essential to maintaining a positive and focused school culture, and we’re so grateful for your cooperation. If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out.
Thank you for working with us to make this a successful and rewarding year for all of our students!
New Season of Sports Starts 1/6
