Bay View Elementary School

Posted June 8, 2009

I have two children that currently attend Bayview and I feel that there is an extreme lack of communication between the teachers and the parents. I have written numerous notes to both teachers requesting information regarding grades, events, etc. and have never received information in return. My daughter is in Kindergarten and she is not being challenged in the least. I made a request for her to be placed in a 1st grade reading program and never heard a word back. The only response that I got was that the computers would adjust to her reading level. I would like to see more information sent home with the kids about what they will be doing in the upcoming weeks. Spelling words, Upcoming Tests, etc. It would be very helpful to know when we need to help our children study!

I have a daughter that is in 1st grade here and my son graduated last summer after having been there since he was in Pre-K. I attended this school as a child too! I can't say enough good things about the teachers and staff here. They are always available and always a pleasure to talk to. The curriculum is rigourous, but not outrageous. The community of parents and grandparents gives the school a family feel that I appreciate so much. I look forward to my daughter's remaining 4 years there!

Three of our four children started Bayview in January of 2006. Our family is very pleased with Bayview. There is a reasonable amount of homework provided and extra help is given by the school when a student is encountering difficulties. The teachers are very encouraging and we love the emphasis the school places on Math (First in Math) and English/Reading (AR program). Many parents walk to school with their children and wait for them at the end of this day and this gives my wife and I a sense of community and opportunities to meet other parents. Our biggest complaint with the school is our children get a substitute teacher more often than we wpould like (mostly to fill in for teachers at meetings or conferences). We look forward to returing to Bayview in the fall.
