Welcome back! We hope that you had a restful and relaxing winter break, and wish you all the best for the New Year. It is the first day back to school today, and with it came some rather frosty weather. As a reminder, students are expected to come to school dressed to go outside for recess. That being said if the temperature or wind chill dips below -20 degrees Celcius it will be an indoor recess. We monitor the conditions on a regular basis and adjust or shorten recess if required.
School Cash On-line
Bayview Hill E.S. is accepting online payments through School Cash ONLINE!
School Cash Online provides the following benefits:

Bayview Hill Elementary School Student Council Toy Drive
The Bayview Hill Elementary School Student Council is proud to be sponsoring a Toy Drive during this holiday season.
Parents are encouraged to donate a new unwrapped toy or gift card that would be appropriate for a child the same age as their child. For example, if your child is in grade 8, donate something a grade 8 would like to receive if they were in JK donate something a JK would like to receive.
The Toy Drive will begin November 30th and will end December 11th.
Each homeroom class will have a “Toy Box” to collect the donations.
On Behalf of the BHES Student Council, we would like to thank you in advance for your generosity and support.
Individual Education Plans
If your child has an individual education plan (IEP),
you will receive an updated copy during the next reporting cycle in January. If
you recently had an individual placement and review committee meeting, your
child’s IEP will be provided to you prior to January. Please contact your
child’s special education resource teacher (SERT) if you have any questions.
Kindergarten Progress
Your child’s teacher will initiate a meeting with
you if there are concerns regarding progress. As always, if you have any
questions, please contact your child’s teacher directly.
Parent Teacher Interviews
These meetings will be initiated by your child’s teacher where there are concerns regarding student progress and may occur on the evening of Thursday, November 26, 2015 or during the day on Friday, November 27, 2015. Teachers remain committed to ongoing communication with parents regarding student progress.
Elementary Progress Reports
Our teachers are currently completing the fall
progress report for students in Grades 1-8. As referenced in the Director of
Education’s letter on November 3, 2015, these reports will be distributed in
our school on Thursday, December 10, 2015.
If your child’s teacher has concerns with your child’s progress, she/he
will contact you to set up a meeting. If you have questions about your child’s
progress and a meeting has not been set up, please speak with your child’s
teacher. Please note that because progress is tracked differently, reports are
not being completed for distribution to students in Junior or Senior
Kindergarten.
