A Message From Our Principal
Bay Harbor Families,
A couple of key beliefs at Bay Harbor is that “Everyone has genius and everyone can be a Leader”! Because of this, we strive each day to ensure we both teach and give opportunities to practice these skills. I am proud of our Sailors and all that they are accomplishing. Below are some key things to know at this point:
Student-Led conferences will take place on October 22 and 24 from 4:00 to 7:30. These 15 minute conferences will be a time to celebrate growth and to talk about goals. Students will lead a portion of this conference and will utilize their portfolios to do so.
Conference sign-up will begin October 14th through the 18th. A message with a link to sign up will be sent at 9am on the 14th.
During the student-led conference, we are again asking that we limit the people in the classroom to: the student giving the conference, the parents/guardians, and the classroom teacher. This helps to keep the focus on the student during the 15 min. Conference.
To help with this, we will again be having free childcare in our Library area. Stay tuned for more information
Additional chairs will be available outside the classrooms for older Sailors and siblings
NEW this year, and to help assist us with staying on time, will be a chime sound bell that will be every 15 minutes to alert a change in conferences.
Once again there will be a book fair to help celebrate an awesome conference!
We will be sending reminders about the above information as we get closer to conferences.
Our Fall Fest is one month away (Nov. 9) and is our one major fundraiser and FUN event. THANK YOU for your efforts to support the cause. Classroom baskets are really coming together! The Fall Fest team that is working to put everything together is AMAZING!! At this point, there are 50+ businesses supporting this event! Wow! Continue to stay informed about the event as there will be continued information being shared leading up to the day.
Continue to enjoy the beautiful weather and thank you for your continued partnership!
Tony Ebeling, Bay Harbor Principal
Digital Citizenship Week
Next week is Digital Citizenship Week, a time to highlight digital citizenship and support kids in developing the skills they need to use devices safely, ethically, and effectively. In the classrooms students and teachers will be discussing foundational concepts of how to be safe, respectful and responsible online. Lessons will continue throughout the school year using a new program called Neptune Navigate. Throughout the school year there will be “Continue the Conversation” videos shared with parents to encourage you to partner with us in reinforcing the importance of digital responsibility.
Dress Up/Theme days for next week listed below
