A Message from the Principal,
Bay Harbor Sailor Families,Bay Harbor Sailor Families,
Welcome officially to the 2021-2022 school year! We are off to yet another tremendous start! I am extremely excited about the group of students and staff we have at BH this year. There is so much positive energy flowing around the building. Thank you for all you have done to prepare your child for the school year. The partnership between home and school is crucial to the success of a child. Bay Harbor is truly a special place!
In addition to the communication you get from the classroom teacher, this newsletter is meant to share important happenings from the school perspective. I try to add “just enough” to the beginning of each newsletter so that we can stay connected. Please know you can always reach out to me via phone or email if I can ever be of assistance.
Prior to the start of the school year, I sent out a message that contained a link to some important building information, processes, procedures, etc. If you would like to look at that again, CLICK HERE. Thank you very much for following our updated drop-off and pick-up procedures! They are going very well and are making things much safer and less stressful.
Have a wonderful rest of the week and I look forward to being a partner in your child’s learning career!
Tony Ebeling, Bay Harbor Elementary School Principal

School District and School Board Summer Highlights
This summer our learning community was energized once again with opportunities for children of all ages and abilities as the District welcomed over 3,000 students enrolled in summer school classes. However, students were not the only ones engaged in learning this summer. Below are a few highlights of District educator and School Board activities during the last three months.
● Data Driven: Teams of teachers and principals analyzed assessment and survey data trends to inform curriculum, instruction and assessment practices for the upcoming school year;
● Facilities Planning: Thanks to our community support for the April referendum, planning began in earnest throughout the District. Educators, architects, and construction managers met numerous times and will continue ongoing efforts in support of upgrading all eight of our community’s schools;
● Continuous Improvement: Routine maintenance, repair, landscaping, and cleaning of the community’s eight school facilities, totaling more than 1-million square feet, keeps our sites operating safely, efficiently and effectively throughout the school year;
● Compassion: The Howard-Suamico Education Foundation partnered with Green Bay Community Church, businesses, employees, and other civic organizations in providing over 400 economically disadvantaged students with backpacks and essential school supplies;
● Return to Learn: District leaders worked with the Board of Education, HSSD staff, Medical Health Advisory Team, and others to create a plan to return to five days a week in-person learning starting September 1 centered on health and safety, student wellbeing, and academics;
● Leadership: Board of Education members attended the Wisconsin Association of School Board (WASB) 2021 Summer Leadership Institute in July. The Board of Education also met regularly to discuss, refine and develop policy language.
The District and Board seek to use frequent and varied methods of communication with the community. Please let us know how we are doing and if there are other ways you would like us to consider sharing and receiving information.
