April FOCUS: Structures + Routines and Responsibility
Expectation Spotlight: RESPONSIBILITY
For the month of APRIL, we have been targeting student attendance and punctuality by focusing on expectations for student RESPONSIBILITY. As a collective team, we can continue to prioritize modeling, highlighting, and acknowledging student responsibility at the Bay as we shift our focus to learning about RESILIENCE in May.
Showing up matters for R.E.A.L because it is an opportunity to:
Build Routines
Increase Engagement
Provide Access to resources
Support Learning
CONGRATULATIONS 8TH GRADERS!
Your collective effort to be on time will be recognized with a popsicle treat on Monday 4/29. As the 8th grade class, your demonstration of responsibility sets the standard for those that follow.
This Week: teachers have the opportunity to be recognized. The top teacher from each department on the identified days will earn a starbucks beverage of their choice. On Monday- ELA, Social Studies
Looking ahead:

COVID-19 Isolation Guidance for K-12 Schools
We continue to hold the safety of our students, staff, and families as a top priority. Together we will help ensure we minimize the spread of illness in our community. The current COVID protocol has been reduced to the following:
1. You can go back to your normal activities when, for at least 24 hours, both are true:
a. Your symptoms are getting better overall, and
b. You have not had a fever (and are not using fever-reducing medication).
2. When you go back to your normal activities, take added precaution over the next 5 days, such as taking additional steps for cleaner air, hygiene, masks, physical distancing, and/or testing when you will be around other people indoors.
a. Keep in mind that you may still be able to spread the virus that made you sick, even if you are feeling better. You are likely to be less contagious at this time, depending on factors like how long you were sick or how sick you were.
b. If you develop a fever or start to feel worse after you have gone back to normal activities, stay home and away from others again until, for at least 24 hours, both are true: your symptoms are improving overall, and you have not had a fever (and are not using fever-reducing medication). Then take added precaution for the next 5 days.
3. No notification of COVID cases is required at this time, but you may contact the Facilities/Safety Office at (360) 426-6322 if you have questions.
Student & Family Resource Center
Are you in need of something? We can probably help! Our resource center has a clothing bank with clothing for all ages. All of the clothing is either new or laundered before entering the bank. A household item bank may also have what you need: bedding, small kitchen appliances, and more! The newest addition to the SFRC is the food bank and hygiene bank. If you are looking for a community connection, the SFRC can help you connect with the right resource.
Schedule and appointment to visit our resource center by contacting our schools family liaison: Isabel Castaneda | (360) 426-7991 ext. 15008 | cell (360) 545-2189
