Bayview Elementary Home Page

On behalf of The Pantry of Broward, thank you to everyone who generously donated cereal for those families in need. We collected 231 boxes of cereal for The Pantry, an organization that provides support and services to seniors and grandparents with custody of their grandchildren on low fixed incomes. Cereal is one of the most important food staples for these families and your contribution was greatly needed and appreciated. Thank you again Bayview students, parents, faculty and administration for your continued support for those in need in our community.

The Bayview Student Council will be holding its annual food drive from February 13-17. Food items will be donated to the Cross Road Food Bank in Fort Lauderdale. Students may bring their donations to their classroom or place them in the collection area of the cafeteria. Parents and friends may also drop food items off in the front office anytime. Please spread the word to your neighbors!

Bayview Bunch Summer Camp is back for 2012! Pay by the week - one week sessions!

Many of your children will be bringing home books weekly from the Reading Resource Room. They are usually in ZIPLOCK BAGS. Please be sure to return these books on time and in good condition. They are special reading tools that we are so lucky to have at our school. The cost of lost or damaged books will be billed to you.

Beginning with the 2011-2012 school year, the Code of Student Conduct Handbook will be distributed electronically. The Code of Student Conduct Handbook is posted for review on the Broward Schools website at www.browardschools.com. You may sign up to receive the Code of Student Conduct by e-mail by entering parent and student e-mail addresses in Virtual Counselor at www.broward.k12.fl.us/dwh.

Open every Tuesday and Friday! In the courtyard area. Open to all students from 7:30—7:50am

If you have any Bayview Elementary photos that you'd like to share for consideration into the 2011-2012 yearbook, please email them to chair Claudia Brennan at bayviewmom333@yahoo.com. Please note that the photos should be 300DPI, JPEG format and feature only in-class or school-related events. Please make sure that photos are clearly identified by class or event. Photos ideally should feature 2 or more children and faculty of course. Thank you for your support.

Every year in the yearbook we put together a collage of our 5 thgraders as babies. We need your help to do this. Please submit a baby picture of your 5 th grader no later than December 16 th. You can do this by emailing me the picture to bayviewmom333@yahoo.com or sending in the photo with your child’s name and contact information. I will scan the photo for you and return it once the yearbook is printed. I promise the photo will not be lost and it will be returned to you after the winter break. If you are scanning the photo yourself, please make sure it has a maximum resolution of 300 dpi, save it as a jpeg or tiff file and title it the student’s name and teacher (example: Julian Brennan/Green)

There is a lot of work that goes into the yearbook after we receive the pictures, so please get them to me by the December 16th.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 954-817-4702 or bayviewmom333@yahoo.com.

BROWARD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS SUPERINTENDENT ROBERT W. RUNCIE COMMUNITY LISTENING TOURS

Please remember… ALL volunteers must complete a new volunteer application on line each school year @ www.getinvolvedineducation.com.

Visit the website to complete the Volunteer Application on-line for both parents & grandparents living local or who visit at the holidays.

Responsibility Reminder

Because it is essential that we teach children to become responsible at an early age in order to help them grow into productive citizens, please make sure that your child has all necessary school items before they come to school. With approximately 550 students at Bayview, it is unfortunately not possible to ensure delivery of items to students once the school day has started. Furthermore, calling into classrooms so that children can pick up belongings from the front office has proven to be disruptive to the educational environment. As a result, effective immediately, we will not accept any late items in the front office such as homework or a lunchbox.

Change of Dismissal

For the safety of our students, if changing dismissal on any day (bus rider to car rider or car rider to walker, etc.) please remember to send something in writing to the school. You may send a note to the teacher on the morning of the change. Please be sure to include your child’s name, teacher’s name, usual route home, new route home and date.

Also, remember, dismissal changes should be for emergencies only!

Thank you.
