A message from the Learning Commons: Please remember to return all overdue textbooks to the Learning Commons as soon as possible. You will not be issued new text books if you have overdue books.  Grade nine students may return their Bayside textbooks to our Learning Commons.

There are several yearbooks from last year that students have paid for that are still waiting to be claimed. If you purchased a yearbook, please come to the office to pick it up.

School bus passes are available and distributed during students’ block 1 classes. If you’ve been away or in some way missed yours, please check in at the front office.

Are you a student who drives a vehicle to school? If so, your vehicle needs to be registered to park in the parking lot. Forms are available in the main office, and must be completed and returned for a windshield decal which must be displayed. You are not permitted to park in any spot marked ‘Reserved’ or ‘Visitor’. 

Just a reminder that the Career Centre, Foods Classroom (#58) and Textiles Classroom (#59) are under active construction and access is restricted. Please do not try to get into these rooms. There is signage directing you to a temporary space. Thank you for your cooperation.
