In preparation for our 2025-26 budget development, please provide your input regarding the needs of our site, as it will enable us to make well-informed decisions about the next school year's budget. All surveys received will be reviewed by the site and a summary of the results will be shared with our community. Please complete the form by 02/27/2026
2026/2027 Needs Assessment and Budget Priorities Input Form
Please be advised that Impact Aid Survey Forms went home this week. If you received this form please return it as soon as possible. This is critical for school funding.
The survey can also be completed through Parent Portal. We need 100% participation. If you have already completed this step you should NOT have received a paper form. Please either complete the form on Parent Portal, or return the paper form.
We are pleased to share that Ms. Dena Truelove will be supporting our front office on a temporary basis. This transition allows us to continue providing strong support for our students, families, and staff while we work with the District through the hiring process for a permanent clerk and thoughtfully plan for long-term front office support.
We would like to sincerely thank Ms. Kristen for her dedicated service supporting the front office and for the care, professionalism, and consistency she brings to our school community. Ms. Kristen has returned to her role as a Paraeducator Independent Facilitator, and we are grateful for her continued work with our students.
Please join us in welcoming Ms. Dena to the front office. We appreciate our community’s continued support during this transition. If you need to report an absence please make sure you message Ms. Truelove at dtruelove@sandi.net
We are so grateful for the continued support of our amazing school community.
Our counselor, Darlene Kanzler, has created a joyful and welcoming space where students can enjoy LEGO play during recess. It has quickly become a favorite activity for many of our students, especially out on the turf. LEGO time gives students another positive option to connect, collaborate, create, and simply enjoy being kids.
If you have any LEGO bricks you would like to donate, we would be truly appreciative.
Please bring donations to the front office
c/o Darlene Kanzler
Thank you for your generosity and for helping us continue to create spaces filled with joy, creativity, and belonging for our students.
Her heart, resilience, and commitment to every child uplift our entire community.
Thank you, Mrs. Pecina, for inspiring excellence every single day.
Her hard work, heart and unstoppable commitment keep our campus running smoothly each and every day.
Thank you, Ms. Holly, for all that you do for our students, staff, and families.
Safety is always our top priority at Bay Park Elementary. Students are welcome to ride eBikes to school; however, eMotorcycles are not permitted to be ridden to or from school. For everyone’s safety, bikes and eBikes should never be ridden on campus, please walk them once you arrive and park them in the designated area. Bikes should remain there and be left alone during the school day. We also strongly recommend that all riders wear a helmet every time they ride to and from school. Thank you for helping us keep our campus safe!
If your child will be absent, you can always call the main office to let us know. Another quick and easy option is to email Ms. Dena Truelove at dtruelove@sandi.net or text if you have received a text message from Ms. Truelove or Ms. Holly
We work to update attendance by 10:30 each morning. Please keep in mind that if you only notify the teacher, the office may not get the message and you could still receive the automatic absence call.
For those planners out there...Here is the 2025/2026 Community Year at a Glance. We are still working on some dates, and those are highlighted.
The purpose of the Clairemont Community of Schools Committee is to assemble Clairemont Cluster staff, parents and community members to discuss information that will ultimately improve the Cluster’s programs and presence in the Community. Watch the yearly calendar for meet times and dates.

We had our biggest recycling collection day in January - help us beat our record in February! PTA is collecting CRV plastic bottles and aluminum cans ONLY the first Wednesday Morning Opening of EVERY month. Drop off your bag of rinsed out recyclables to the coffee table area. Redeemed recyclables go toward supporting PTA initiatives like our ice pop handouts- our goal this year is to raise $300!
