If reporting an ABSENCE or LATE ARRIVAL for your student, please call the

Attendance Line at 920-662-8888.

We are continuing to see an increased amount of people using the parking lot and walking/sending students across which is causing both a safety issue and also a back-up in traffic. For efficiency and safety, our goal is to ONLY utilize drop-off and pick-up via your vehicle along the sidewalk. Our parking lot should not be used unless you are parking and entering the school. We are not staffing this duty to monitor the crosswalk because of the system we have in place. Please review the following information and let’s work together to make this process a safer and more efficient one:

• Morning Drop-off Reminders

• Students can be dropped off beginning at 8:20am when BH staff are present to supervise. The first bell to come into the building is 8:25am.

• Please do not use the parking lot to drop off students UNLESS you are coming into the building (office), assisting a child with carrying supplies, or other special circumstances.

• All cars should enter our parking lot on the southeast side of our building nearest Idlewild park and follow the traffic pattern continuing to move forward.

• Students can be dropped off safely anywhere along the sidewalk in the front of the school curbside

• Please DO NOT block the crosswalk

• Afternoon Pick-up

• Do Not use the parking lot unless picking up your child early, or needing to come into the building.

• Student pick-up numbers will be typed in beginning 3:20(5) and students will be released beginning at 3:25pm.

• All cars should enter our parking lot on the southeast side of our building nearest Idlewild park and follow the traffic pattern continuing to move forward along the curbside of our school.

• We will continue to move cars forward to pick up students so that we don’t back traffic up too long on Harbor Lights.

• If you do not normally pick your child up, but need to, please make sure to contact the office/teacher so that we can put it into our system.

Fall Fest Recap

Thank you once again to everyone who supported Fall Fest! We were able to welcome over 500 people to the event and raise over $20,000 for Bay Harbor!! A special thank you to all of the planners and volunteers who made this year's Fall Fest such a success!

To see how we use these funds, join us at our PTO meetings and keep up with our meeting minutes through the Bay Harbor newsletter.

Winter Market

PTO will be looking for daytime and nighttime volunteers for Winter Market activities on Dec. 19. Specific times and jobs to come. If you want to be first on the volunteer list or have interest in helping to plan, email us at bayharborpto@gmail.com.

December PTO Gathering

Join us on Tuesday, Dec. 3 at 6pm (our normal date/time) for an informal gathering. Location coming (likely at a local restaurant). Stay up to date on Facebook or email us to have the details sent to you as they become available. A general head count will be needed to secure a reservation. Food or drink purchases will be on your own.

It’s that time of year again when the temperature drops, the winds pick up, and the days get a little colder. We want to make sure everyone stays comfortable, warm, and ready for all the fun school activities—whether inside or out!

Below is a guideline our Sailors look at everyday before heading out to recess. Please be sure they have jackets, gloves/mittens and hats packed so they can be warm and ready for outdoor fun!

HAVE YOUR STUDENTS OUTGROWN THIER WINTER CLOTHES?

WE ARE TAKING DONTATIONS OF HATS, GLOVES & MITTENS FOR OUR SAILORS THAT FORGOT ITEMS AT HOME ON THE COLD DAYS.

Thank you!

We are excited about the upcoming field trips this year! In order to ensure the safety of all our students, we require all volunteers who plan to join a field trip to have a completed and approved background check on file.

If you have not yet completed a background check, please take a moment to do so as soon as possible. The process is simple, and approval can take up to 2 weeks, so we recommend submitting your application well in advance of any scheduled trips.

For more information on how to complete the background check see the links below! If you have any questions, please reach out to the office at 920-662-9800
