Principal’s Corner
Dear Bayshore Families,
Approaching the end of the school year can be similar
to running a race. We know that if we keep moving
forward we will eventually get to the finish line, but we
also want to finish strong. FCAT/FSA for our 3rd, 4th, and
5th graders may be over for this school year, but there
are still several standards to cover and high quality work
to accomplish. Our students need everyone’s support and
encouragement this time of year in order to reach their
year-end goals and have a great finish.
It is also one of the busiest time of the school year for
our students, parents, and teachers. Keeping children
focused on their responsibilities at home and at school
can be challenging. Please continue to take notice of how
well your child is keeping up with his/her responsibilities.
Continue to communicate with our teachers, check
homework, and peruse the Tuesday Folder.
I wanted to take this time to thank all the faculty, staff,
and parents, for another successful school year. Our
students have accomplished so much this past year, and it
would not have been possible without all of your support.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude and
appreciation to our volunteers, PTO members, SAC
members and business partners who help to make our
school a success.
Lastly, I want to recognize the most precious
stakeholders in our school, our students. Our students are
the best! They are always showing their S.P.O.T.S.,
working hard in class, and supporting each other every
day. Way to go Jaguars!
As always, thank you for your continued support of
your child’s education at Bayshore Elementary. We truly
appreciated it!
Sincerely,
Lori Anne Reid
Principal

Sunshine State Young Reader’s
Award Program
Congratulations to all of the students
who have participated in the
Sunshine State Young Reader’s
Award Program. Participants must
have all book summaries turned in
by Friday, May 8! The SSYRA ice
cream party will be held on May 28
at 2:00 p.m. and trophies for
participants who read all 15 books
will be awarded.
Attendance
Please make sure that your child is here on time each
day and remains the entire school day unless he/she is
sick. Regular school attendance is imperative to the
successful education of your child. If your child is sick,
please send in a dated note within three days of their
return stating the reason they were out and the dates
that they missed. The St. Lucie County Tardy and Early Pick up Policy states that every 5th unexcused tardy
will be counted, for determination of school truancy,
as an unexcused absence. If we can be of help to you,
please do not hesitate to call upon us.
School Advisory Council (SAC)
During April's SAC meeting, Mrs. Reid was happy to
report that MTSS groups have started and that
our School Improvement Plan midyear review was
submitted. As SAC members, we will continuously
monitor and modify the SIP according to the needs of our
students. Additionally, we had a representative speak to
SAC members about the resources that 211 provides to
the Treasure Coast. By calling 211 you can get put in
contact with additional resources and services that
might not be known. Please see the front office for flyers
and more information.
