FOCUS Student Information System
We are pleased to share the link to the newly released FOCUS Student Information System (SIS). This video will help families know how to gain access and navigate through the FOCUS SIS. It is a great way to stay on top of important academic information and engage in your child's education.
Wear animal print clothes with picture of favorite wild animal.
Be creative, how wacky can your outfit be?
Wear your best western gear cowpokes, NO boots on this reading ranch! Hats and bandanas allowed.
Wear red, pink, or hearts as we all show our LOVE of LITERACY!
Please remember all students are to be in their classroom or online, seated, and ready for learning at 8:15 a.m. each morning. Students arriving at or after 8:15 a.m. will be marked tardy and must be signed-in at the office by a parent. Online students arriving after 8:15 a.m. will also be marked tardy.
Also, as a reminder, online students should be in attendance for the full instructional day each day. Attending only part of the day will result in an unexcused early release. Infractions will be issued based on the guidelines shared at last week’s Virtual Open House.

Welcome to 2020-21!On behalf of our entire staff, I would like to welcome our new Jaguars and families, as well as our returning Jaguars! It is a great honor to continue as your principal and lead our amazing school community in these unprecedented times!
As we plan for a beginning unlike any we have ever experienced, our focus will still be to ensure the academic, social-emotional, and behavioral needs of each, and every student are known and met.
The Spring of 2020 challenged us to find a “new normal” for learning, connected us in new ways, and required our Jaguars to learn and interact from afar. More than ever, I appreciate the expertise our teachers bring to Bay Vista and the resilience our students have demonstrated to continue learning and work hard. I also came to appreciate the small things that are so powerful on our campus - giving a high-five, a hug, an unmasked smile, face-to-face Jaguar Jamborees, and so much more. What I MOST appreciate about Bay Vista is how, even under these unforeseen circumstances, we are still a strong, connected, and supportive Jaguar community!
Even as we find our way with our “new normal”, please be assured that our Jaguars will learn in a safe environment and our learning will not only continue, but it will thrive! We are committed to maintaining the highest standards so there is no shortage of opportunities for your student to feel challenged each day with high quality instruction. Whether your Jaguar is learning online or face-to-face, he/she is equally a part of our Jaguar family. Now, more than ever, we must demonstrate our commitment to our Guidelines for Success:
Just believe in yourself
Always be responsible
Give your best effort
Understand others
Appreciate your environment
Respect is expected
Support fellow Jaguars!
I look forward to our journey together this year!
Sincerely,
Principal Donna Hall

COVID-19
If any of your household members test positive for COVID-19 OR are in contact with someone who tests positive for COVID-19, please reach out to me directly via email or a phone call. There are specific protocols in place that I must follow, and we will discuss those protocols in such an instance.
Guidelines/Expectations for Online Learning:
o Arrive on-time to live meetings each day and instruction.
o Cameras MUST remain on and mics muted until called upon.
o Maintain a school atmosphere at home while attending class which includes being attentive and not walking away during instruction
o Focus on the screen and the lessons.
o TV, computer games, music and other devices (such as iPads) should NOT be used by the child during online school hours.
o Dress code for online learners needs to be school appropriate – especially tops…no tank tops, spaghetti straps, pajamas, etc.
o Keep distractions to a minimum – changing screen backgrounds repeatedly, unmuting during teacher instruction/lessons.
o Do not use the chat unless asked by your teacher or for something necessary for class learning. Student conversations in the chat should be academic-based. Students should not conduct independent conversations in the chat area or posting GIFS.
Fifth grade teacher assignments and specific supply lists were communicated via email and voice message this past Friday.
