Bayview Elementary -

Good evening Bayview Braves!
Can you believe it is the 36th day of school and the last day of September? The 2025-2026 school year is flying by!
For September, to kick off attendance we celebrated students who had perfect attendance for the entire month by having an Ice Cream Social for our Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grade students and an "Atten-DANCE" for our 3rd- 5th graders !
Do you want to know how many Braves had perfect attendance?!
112 Kindergarten -2nd graders and 97 3rd graders-5th graders!!!

So, we thought lets beat those numbers for October!! To celebrate perfect attendance we will have a "Glow Light" Dance Party for all grade levels on Friday, October 31st (student must attend every school day)!
Please encourage your Braves to show up and show out every day of October to attend the Dance Party!!!

Also, tomorrow starts Breast Cancer Awareness Month! Every Wednesday in the month of October- Let's wear as much pink as possible to show our support and raise awareness!

Please see attached for information from UF Health Jacksonville and the University of Florida College of Medicine - Jacksonville, in collaboration with Pink Ribbon Jax, who are offering FREE mammograms for qualified community members.
To qualify, you must:
1. Live in Duval County
2. Be uninsured
3. Be 40 years old or older

Have an amazing night!

Good Afternoon Bayview Braves!

We wanted to bring to your attention a safety and security protocol that is to be implemented immediately. The district previously sent notification out, but we understand that some may not have been connected at that time.

*All visitors to Bayview will be required to show ID to enter the school.
*Press the black speaker box. Someone will come on to answer you. You will need to show photo id every time, before entry.
*Front office has been directed that anyone who does not show their photo id will not be allowed into the school .
*You will be required to have a badge if leaving the vestibule to go into the main body of the school.
*Any time you are in the building, you will be required to wear the sticker so the faculty/staff knows that you have been cleared by the office.

Visitors to the building are asked not to keep the door open for others as each individual will need to be checked coming into the office.

Finally, please be kind to the front office workers. They are asked to do a very tough job and carry a huge weight in ensuring only viable individuals coming into our building. If they ask for clarification, they are doing so to be safe.

Thank you for your attention to this matter and all you do to keep our Braves safe!

Good evening Bayview Braves!
I hope you are having a wonderful week so far! This is just a reminder to come and join us tomorrow, Thursday, August 28 from 6-7pm for Open House! We would love to share with you your child's classroom, meet with their teacher and see the amazing work your child is completing daily!

We hope to see you there! Have a restful night!

Good afternoon families and happy Monday! Please ensure you are commu nicating ANY dismissal changes for your student in writing via email to your student's classroom teacher AND/OR Ms. Cartwright and Ms. Farmer in the main office. This should be done before noon as we need to ensure students get to dismissal safely. Thank you for your cooperation! Also just a reminder that Open House is this Thursday from 6-7pm.

Good afternoon Bayview Braves,
At this time, most District schools are experiencing phone line disruptions where we are unable to call out or receive calls in. I wanted to inform you that we are working to get our phonelines back online. Please use Rooms if you need to reach your child's teacher.
Thank you so much!
