Dear families
of BHES:
A reminder
that Thursday June 25 is the last full day for students and June 26 is a
Professional Activity Day for staff. The first day of school for the new
school year is Tuesday September 8.
It has been
such a pleasure, getting to know so many of you over the past 6 years and
participating in your child’s journey of learning at Bayview Hill.
Bayview Hill is a special place to be. Character is so important, and
your children are etched in my memory as a group of respectful, polite and
thoughtful people. I am looking forward to my move to Silver Stream PS but I
will miss the Bayview Hill Community. Parents are our partners in
education. Thank you for the opportunity and privilege to teach your
children and work with you in guiding and supporting their choices, attitudes
and behaviours. Your children are respectful and kind, and motivated to
succeed because of you. They learn what they live.
Please take
some time with your child to reflect on and celebrate their successes.
Also take time to talk about what needs to continue to be improved.
Identify the learning skills that will support your child’s improvement and
what strategies can be put in place to foster growth. Each year as your
child matures, think about what kind of responsibilities he/she could have at
home. Being responsible for a task nurtures confidence. The summer
is a optimal time to teach safety on the streets; please encourage your
children to spend time outside everyday and learn how to navigate their
neighbourhood. For our grade 7 & 8s, learning to find their way using
public transit is a helpful skill or consider helping our grade 5 and up
students find the easiest and quickest active route to school by walking or
riding their bike with a friend.
Please
welcome Mr. Mike Carlin who will be leading BHES as Principal. And to Ms.
Jennifer Branch, continuing here as Vice Principal, thank you for all your
time, excellent work and dedication to the school.
