Bay View Middle School News

Dear Bay View Families,

I hope this message finds you well and that you've had a restful and enjoyable summer. As we prepare to welcome students back to school tomorrow, I wanted to share some important information to help ensure a smooth start to the school year.

As a reminder, September 3, 2024 is 7th grade only and Wednesday, September 4, 2024 is all students.

Drop-Off and Pick-Up Procedures

• Drop-Off: Please follow the street signs and directions of staff to ensure a safe and efficient process. We will all need to be patient due to the construction on Lineville Road and the volume of vehicles. You can temporarily stop to drop your child(ren) on:

• The West side of Cardinal Lane

• The South side of Woodale Avenue

• Either side of Jaymar Street

Please avoid using the parking lot to drop off your child unless there are medical reasons to do so.

Students being dropped off can enter Door 1 or Door 4 at 7:22 AM. Bike riders should use the bike racks near Door 4 and enter Door 4. Students can enter at 7:10 AM if eating breakfast.

• Pick-Up: Dismissal will begin at 2:40 PM. Again, please follow the directions of staff and be mindful of our students' safety. The same street parking as drop off can be utilized for pick up. If you need to enter the building, please park in one of our visitor parking spots near the main entrance (Door 1).

• Bus riders: You will enter and exit Door 8. These are the set of doors on the West side of the building facing the football field. You will be allowed in when your bus driver releases you. You can wait in the Fine Arts Entrance or the Galley, if eating breakfast, until the bell rings at 7:22 AM.

Dress Code Reminder

As a reminder, please ensure that your child is dressed in clothing appropriate for a school setting. Clothing should be comfortable yet modest, suitable for various activities throughout the day.

Stay Comfortable – Dress in Layers

We are pleased to share that our entire building is air-conditioned. Given the variability of temperatures throughout the day, we recommend that students dress in layers or bring a sweatshirt to ensure they are comfortable in our climate-controlled environment.

We are excited to see our students return and are looking forward to a fantastic school year ahead. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to the school office.

Thank you for your attention to these details and for your ongoing support.

Together,

Heath Garland

Principal - Bay View Middle School

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.

In addition to the HSSD website and social media, you can receive a text message to notify you of cancellations, delays, and early releases due to weather. Text Yes to 67587 to opt in. In previous editions of the newsletter, we shared the incorrect number. The number above is the correct number.

For a low price of $3.40 - ALL you can eat fruits/veggies and beverages of choice alongside an entree. Please click on this link for the BAY VIEW LUNCH MENU

When reporting an absence, please call our school’s attendance line at 920-662-8184 prior to the start of each school day.
