Dear Families,
On behalf of the staff at Bayview Hill E.S. we would like to
welcome you to a new school year. This time of the year always brings a sense
of renewal as we get ready to learn and grow in such a wonderful community.
Over the summer, we saw the removal of two portables, our
bus loop was paved, the paving stones around the school were removed, we had an
upgrade to our existing elevator and a new lift was installed to provide access
to our stage. The elevator installation will progress into the school year with
limited interruption to our school day. We are also happy to announce
that the grass seed that was planted in the Spring has grown in nicely.

With nearly 740 students entering the school, our goal is to
get students into the school and into classes safely. For this reason, when the
entry bell goes at 8:55 a.m., please be sure you have your child/children at
their appropriate entry door. Teachers will collect the students from that
grade, and then bring them into the school to be organized into classes.
Parents will not be invited into the school at this time. Parents, please have
a plan for how your child is going home at the end of the day, and make sure
your child understands it (plan a meeting spot). Also, if you are planning on
meeting your child at the end of the day remember that the front parking lot is
closed to all vehicles except official school vehicles.
Parents are reminded of their responsibility to know their child's bus route number, pick up and drop off times and the bus company servicing their child's bus route. To obtain this information parents must visit www.schoolbuscity.com.
