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.
Bay View Idol Performance - October 5th
Bay View Literacy News!
There are several effective strategies to improve the vocabulary of middle schoolers:
- Reading: Encourage middle schoolers to read a variety of books, magazines, and newspapers. This exposure to different texts will help them encounter new words and expand their vocabulary.
- Word Games: Engage middle schoolers in word games such as crossword puzzles, word searches, and Scrabble. These games make learning new words fun and interactive.
- Word of the Day: Introduce a "word of the day" to middle schoolers, where they learn a new word each day and try to use it in their conversations or writing. This consistent exposure to new words helps expand their vocabulary over time.
A rich vocabulary enhances critical thinking abilities, enables students to articulate their thoughts and ideas more precisely, and boosts their confidence in academic and social settings.
