Dear Bayview Families,
Welcome to December...an exciting time at Bayview! A few upcoming events include F.A.S.T. Benchmark #2, Field Days (all grades) and celebrating this winter season and our Bayview family. We always end December with our Pajama Day, Sing-along and a few holiday surprises. On Tuesday, our Soaring Scholars Camp begins (The full calendar of events and dates is outlined below.)
November’s character trait was Citizenship and we will be showcasing students on Tuesday, December 17th for Grades K - 2 students and on Wednesday, December 18th for Grades 3 - 5 on WBAY with certificates and treats (Invitations will be emailed early this week). December's character trait is Kindness: Being helpful, thoughtful, caring, compassionate and considerate. We can demonstrate kindness by smiling, being friendly, giving compliments, treating everyone fairly, and doing something to help without being asked.
Florida’s statewide, standardized assessments in Reading, Writing, and Mathematics are aligned with the Benchmarks for Excellent Student Thinking (B.E.S.T.). The Florida Assessment of Student Thinking is administered as a progress monitoring assessment, which students participate in three times per year (September, December and May). As we begin this mid-year benchmark, it's urgent that we have 100% attendance. This data allows us to individualize instruction for every student as well as to update our intervention programs. As our staff interprets the newest data from this month's assessments, teachers will communicate areas of growth as well as those needing additional instruction with each of you.
