Message from the Principal
In response to your concerns about the flow of traffic, I asked the DOT to come out and assess our school drop off and pickup procedures. Their review shows that we are on target with what is considered normal traffic flow with the exception of one observation.
The DOT report states, "The observed morning traffic was found to operate will with efficient flow through the drop-off areas and sufficient access to entrance and exit location. The only observed issue was an occasional spill-back queue described at the right-out access. This was due in part to the described illegal left maneuver and in part to heavy traffic during this period on CR 389 (East Ave)."
Please help us resolve this issue by following the posted "right turn only" signs in the front of the school. I appreciate your help with this matter.
Supplies Needed
Please consider donating disinfectant spray, wipes, and paper towels to our school. Due to the rise in illness, our teachers are working hard to keep the classrooms sanitized. Unfortunately, beginning of the year supplies are running low or have run out. Please bring all donations to the front office and thank you in advance for your help!

Mobile Dental Clinic
We are pleased to announce that the PanCare Denal Clinic is coming to Bay Haven. The preventative dental treatment done on the bus will be at NO cost to parents/guardians. However, if your child has Medicaid or any other dental insurance it may be billed for dental services rendered on the bus. This is a convenient way for your child to receive dental care.
Applications will be distributed this week and should be returned to your student's homeroom teacher by Wednesday, February 21, 2018.
Please come join the Student Advisory Council (SAC) and see how your thoughts and ideas can help make Bay Haven better! SAC is a way to provide communication directly between parents, teachers, and faculty in an open forum. The general SAC meeting will be held at 5:00 P.M. on February 27th in the Cafeteria Teacher's Lounge followed by the PTSP general meeting at 6:30 P.M. SAC will have board positions available in May for the 2018-2019 school year.
