Chromebooks for Rising 8th Graders
Access to technology is vital in our future. Bay Haven Middle School and North Bay Haven Middle School use technology in a wide range of settings at school. The goal has been to increase the opportunities for using technology as we focus on a learning environment to move all students into the 21st century classroom.
As a result, next year both Bay Haven and North Bay Haven will have all 8th grade students bring a Chromebook to class starting in the fall of 2018. The Chromebooks must be the brand and model approved by the school (see below), but can be purchased wherever you choose.
We require the Dell Chromebook 11 3189 Touchscreen. This model is available in 3 hard drive sizes, 16, 32 or 64 GB. We have tested the 16GB base model and it is sufficient for the Student's needs; however, all three options are acceptable. We highly recommend an Accidental Damage policy for these as well as we do not repair Chromebooks at the school. There are many websites to purchase these devices and all offer different protection plans with them.
On the bayhaven.org website, under the “For Parents” link, a page titled “Chromebooks” will display links to several vendors offering the approved model. If you intend to purchase the Chromebook from another vendor/website, please ensure that the website you visit is displaying the correct Dell Chromebook model. If in doubt, send an email to the North Bay Haven IT Department bhca.helpdesk@bayhaven.org with a link to the specific site/web page you are viewing, and a staff member will gladly verify it for you.
Summer Work
For students in grades K--8, summer work is expected. Students who complete ALL the work assigned for the grade level they are moving into or participate in a
summer enrichment or summer remediation program at our school will be counted as completing the summer work. Students complete the work for the grade level or course they are moving into this fall. For grades K--8, students who complete ALL the summer work are eligible to attend an incentive party.

Rising 7th Graders: T-DAP Shots
Sorry to start out the summer with news of shots but.....
All students entering 7th grade must have a Tdap shot prior to the first day of school.
If your child has had this shot, please bring in an updated Florida Certification of Immunization (shot record). If they have not had the shot, please be sure to have it completed and the shot record on file with us prior to the first day of school, August 10th.
