Teaching middle schoolers to evaluate sources equips them with essential skills for navigating an increasingly complex and information-rich world, empowering them to become informed and responsible citizens. So, how can we evaluate our sources effectively?
Authority: They should check the author or organization behind the source. Is the author an expert in the field? Is the organization reputable?
Accuracy: Encourage them to assess the accuracy of the information provided. Are there references or citations to back up the claims made? Are there any obvious errors or biases?
Currency: Check when the source was published or last updated. Some topics require the most current information, while others may not be as time-sensitive.
Objectivity/Bias: Help them recognize any potential bias in the source. Is the information presented objectively, or does it seem to promote a particular agenda or viewpoint?
Relevance: Determine if the information is relevant to their research topic. Does it address the specific questions they're trying to answer?
Consistency: Check if the information presented is consistent with other reliable sources. If there are conflicting reports, they should investigate further to determine which source is more trustworthy.
Encouraging middle schoolers to critically analyze sources using these criteria can help them develop essential research skills and become more discerning consumers of information.

Creating a safe and balanced digital environment is critical to our children's well-being in today's ever-connected world. Two important aspects of this are:
- Screen time, the amount of time spent on devices
- Content filtering, which controls the materials accessible to them
This resource aims to provide insights and options that parents can explore at home, allowing them to tailor their child's digital journey with confidence. For more information visit HSSD Technology or Common Sense Media. Please contact Kelly Koller, Technology Integration Specialist, for questions at kellkoll@hssdschools.org
Through the end of the school year The Giving Tree is collecting toothbrushes and toothpaste for our August Back-to-School Event. Please feel free to send donations with your students to put in the collections bins/carts near the main office of school. Items can also be dropped off during school hours. The Giving Tree appreciates the community support in helping remove barriers to a student’s education.
Did you know that the Bay View Math teachers have created hundreds of math videos to help support both students and parents? If your child is stuck on a topic or wants to see an extra example explained by a teacher at Bay View, check out these websites. There are hundreds of videos created on most math topics that we cover throughout the year. Just search for a topic in the search bar or in the channel to get started.
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.
