Hello Bayside Families,
I can't believe we are here at the end of June! As I finish up for the day (and the school year!) I am filled with gratitude for the many, many people who have contributed to the opening of Bayside School. From the constuction, to the equipment, to the staffing and planning... I have felt incredibly supported at every point along the way. It makes me feel confident about the rest of this journey and the exciting work ahead as our school construction is finalized and we prepare to open for our students.
I would especially like to thank Carol Binder (our Administrative secretary) who has been my right-hand woman the past three months and who always seems to know exactly what needs to be done and how to do it. I also want ot express my gratitude for Calleigh Harder, our Assistant Principal, who has contributed so much over the past few months, even while she was working full time at Chief Justice Milvain School. We truly have an amazing team and our students and families will be well supported! Ian Fero (Principal of Lakeshor School), and Tracy Kohan (principal of Mahogany School) have been amazing partners in this unique experience and I am so thankful to have them walking beside me!
Please check your email or the news story on our Website for an introduction to our staff. We will all be taking some time away from our computers and lists to spend time with our families and friends and to reconnect to the world outside of teaching. Calleigh, Carol and I will start back up again in August to prepare for school opening. Our office will be open for emails and phone inquiries on August 22nd. As we get closer to the completion of the building, we will communicate with you about when we will be ready for actual visitors to the Bayside office. You can check our school's back to school page for more information.
Have a safe and relaxing summer!
Darby
