Greetings Bay Brook Families,

I am delighted that we are beginning 2020 in our new building. Thanks to all the families that stuck it out with us through the swing space period.  I recognize that the swing space trials were not perfect, but I thank you for trusting my staff and I to take care of your children.

I am happy to say that our school attendance stayed above 92% during our move.  I am looking for our attendance to soar even more as we enter the new building.  All scholars that had 100% attendance during the month of January will participate in a free trip to Port Covington and/or have an AttenDance Pizza Party.  Continue to encourage your children to come to school on time, every day.

Additionally, we have after-school sports and clubs beginning this January.  Please look out for interest flyers.

Lastly, we have purchased locks for all scholars in grades 3-8.  Beginning this month, all jackets, book bags, and cell phones should be locked up in lockers.  This will support efforts in providing instruction to your students without distractions.

Thank you for your partnership.

Principal Reese

Greetings Bay Brook Families,                              Reese.new

As we close the end of quarter 1, I want to highlight Bay Brook Elementary/Middle School’s Accomplishments.

  • Bay Brook increased their student enrollment by over 40 students. This increase will allow us to have a larger school budget that will be used to purchase an additional classroom teacher, an additional Special Education Teacher, after-school sports, instructional supplies for teachers, and pay for field trip buses.
  • All students in grades K-8 engaged in a Three-Day Arts Integration Residency with Future Makers. Students had the opportunity to engage in hands on experiences with visual arts while learning both Reading and Mathematics.
  • Students who received 80% or more on Class Dojo were recognized in September and October. These students were able to attend a trip to the Baltimore Aquarium and participate in Game Day. At Bay Brook, we pride ourselves in recognizing students for following the Bay Brook Way.
  • In September, over 70 grandparents attended the annual Grandparent’s Day Breakfast. Grandparents were able to eat with their loved ones, play bingo, and win prizes.
  • In October, we recognized Hispanic Heritage Month by having students put on a performance for students and parents.

As the 2nd quarter opens, we are looking forward to opening our New 21st Century School Building on January 6, 2020. In the new building, each grade level will have their own laptop cart, every classroom will have interactive whiteboards, and students will have access to additional iPads and technology for Science.

I am looking forward with continuing my partnership with you as we begin the 2nd quarter

Sincerely,

Monique Reese
Principal

Reese.newSaludos a las familias de Bay Brook

A medida que cerramos el final del trimestre 2, quiero destacar los logros de la escuela de Bay Brook.

• Bay Brook aumentó su inscripción estudiantil en más de 40 estudiantes. Este aumento nos permitirá tener un presupuesto escolar más amplio que se utilizará para comprar un maestro adicional en el aula, un maestro adicional de educación especial, deportes extracurriculares, suministros de instrucción para maestros y pagar los autobuses para excursiones.

• Todos los estudiantes en los grados K-8 participaron en una residencia de integración artística de tres días con Future Makers. Los estudiantes tuvieron la oportunidad de participar en experiencias prácticas con las artes visuales mientras aprendían Lectura y Matemáticas.

• Los estudiantes que recibieron 80% o más en Class Dojo fueron reconocidos en Septiembre y Octubre. Estos estudiantes pudieron asistir a un viaje al Acuario de Baltimore y participar en Un Dia de Juegos. En Bay Brook, nos enorgullecemos de reconocer a los estudiantes por seguir el estilo de Bay Brook.

• En Septiembre, más de 70 abuelos el desayuno anual del Día del Abuelo. Los abuelos podían comer con sus seres queridos, jugar bingo y ganar premios.

• En Octubre, reconocimos el Mes de la Herencia Hispana al hacer que los estudiantes actuaran para los estudiantes y los padres.

A medida que se abra el segundo trimestre, esperamos abrir nuestro nuevo edificio escolar del siglo XXI el 6 de enero de 2020. En el nuevo edificio, cada nivel de grado tendrá su propio carrito para computadora portátil, cada aula tendrá pizarras interactivas y los estudiantes tendrán acceso a iPads y tecnología adicionales para Science.

Espero continuar mi asociación con ustedes al comenzar el segundo trimestre

Queridos Padres,

Bienvenidos a Bay Brook Elementary/Middle School. Nos complace mucho que haya elegido al personal de Bay Brook  para educar y cuidar a su hijo.

Bay Brook es una escuela del siglo 21 con un enfoque en los estándares básicos comunes y la integración artística.  Los estudiantes estarán expuestos a los estándares que son necesarios para la preparación universitaria y profesional y tendrán oportunidades para participar en diversas artes.  Esto incluye música, drama, danza, y artes visuales.  El personal de Bay Brook cree que las artes permitirán que los estudiantes participen más mientras aprenden matemáticas, lectura, estudios sociales y ciencias.

Bay Brook es también una escuela de práctica restaurativa.  Esta práctica ensena a los académicos a colaborar con otros y reparar el daño causado por las palabras o acciones de uno.  Se puede ver a los estudiantes de Bay Brook discutiendo maneras de avanzar con otros, participando en círculos restaurativos y usando sus palabras para expresar sus sentimientos.

Esperamos con interés trabajar con usted y su hijo este año escolar.

¡Les deseo un año escolar excelente y productivo!

Sinceramente,

Monique Reese
Directora
