Welcome To Bay Lake Elementary School
Pride of the Community
Greetings Bay Lake Lions,
The month of October was amazing as we hosted our annual school-wide “Character Book Literacy
Parade and Event”. Thank you for your participation as well.
I would like to encourage all Bay Lake parents to attend our OCPS Virtual Parent Academy event
on Saturday, November 13th from 9:00-11:30 a.m. Parents, you will need to register for this event
as soon as possible.

This November event will empower families with resources and strategies to understand and manage
emotions, set and achieve goals, maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions. The
Parent Academy theme for the year is “Together Towards Tomorrow”: Plan for Success, which aligns
with our strategic plan. All events will be presented in English and families will have translation
options in Spanish, Haitian Creole, and Portuguese.
Student Progress Monitoring will help your child's teachers teach more effectively and make better
decisions about the type of instruction that will work best with your child.
2nd Nine Weeks’ Progress Reports will be available online via Skyward Parent Access on
Thursday, November 18th. If you would like a hard copy of your child’s progress report, please
place your request through the following link
https://forms.gle/Z7dJ3rjUhrTXqNtD8, by Tuesday, November 16th.
Here are a few arrival and dismissal Safety Reminders: (1) All car riders must be dropped off and
picked up daily through the car rider loop. No students should be dropped off or picked up on
Silverlake Park Drive due to safety concerns. (2) We are also concerned about our back gate
walkers arriving and departing on Vermillion Avenue and Wellington Blue Lane. Students and
parents, when traveling to school on Vermillion Avenue and Wellington Blue Lane, please utilize the
crosswalk and be alert of oncoming traffic. (3) We will like to encourage all bike riders to wear the
proper safety gear such as a bike helmet and follow all traffic safety rules by stopping at stop signs
and using the crosswalks. (4) If you travel the roundabout on Silverlake Park Drive, please follow all
safety rules and walk along the sidewalk leading up to the crossing guide located in front of the
school. Please note the speed zone safety signs as, together, we consider the safety of everyone.
New Worlds Reading Initiative Program Registration Reminder: Specific students were offered a
monthly free book delivery program to help students and families build personalized, at-home
libraries. These students will receive a book by mail during each month of the school year. A flyer
went home with specific students on Tuesday, October 26, 2021. Enroll today using the included QR
code or at newworldsreading.com/enroll to start receiving books this December! If you have
questions about this opportunity for your child, please visit newworldsreading.com.
