This year BPE will offer an all-school yearbook for purchase! Any order placed before October 31st will be discounted by 10%. Each yearbook purchase includes 2 optional pages, which you can personalize for your child with photos and messages (personalized pages will appear only in your child's yearbook). Additional personalized pages can be added for a fee.

Yearbooks will be shipped to the school prior to the end of the school year, and will be distributed by your child's teacher.

*Note: This yearbook is separate from the 5th grade yearbook, which will still be provided to all 5th graders at no cost.*

A School Cafeteria Reminder

We love that so many of our Bay Park students, families, and staff enjoy our school cafeteria! We wanted to share a few friendly reminders about how our school meal program works.

Every student may receive one complete breakfast and one complete lunch at no cost each school day.

A complete meal means that students select the required meal components offered that day. This may include an entrée, milk, fruits and/or vegetables, depending on the meal.

Don’t worry! Most of our students who regularly eat in the cafeteria already know the routine and are great at navigating their meal choices. Students can always ask our cafeteria team for help, and chances are, a student nearby knows the routine too! Our cafeteria team will make sure students have what they need for their meal to be considered complete.

A few other things to know:

Milk is free with a complete student meal. If a student only wants milk, the cost is $1.00.

Additional student meals are available for purchase at the posted second meal prices.

Parents, staff, and other adults are welcome to eat with us, too! Adult meals are available at the posted prices.

There is no cash exchange in the cafeteria. Any purchase must be made using funds that have been added to a cafeteria account.

Families can add funds to their child’s account using the student’s six digit student ID number.

Staff can add funds to their account using their six digit employee ID number.

We know it can be a little confusing that student meals are free while milk by itself, a second meal, or an adult meal has a cost. The free school meal program covers a complete student meal, rather than individual items or meals for adults. Our cafeteria team is required to follow these program guidelines.

And everything is right there for you! Our weekly breakfast and lunch menus, along with the Food Services policies and information shared above, are posted on the cafeteria doors for families, students, and staff to read anytime.

When in doubt, just ask! We are always happy to help. Thank you for helping us keep our cafeteria welcoming and running smoothly!

IMPORTANT

Parent Homework

All families are required to complete several forms through the Parent Portal. These forms provide the school with important information and help ensure that our student records are up to date.

If you have not yet completed these required forms, please do so ASAP. We will be contacting families individually if the forms have not been completed.

Parent Portal – Required Forms

Please log in to your Parent Portal account and complete the following forms for the 2026–2027 school year:

2026–2027 Family Resource Guide
2026–2027 Health Information Exchange Consent Form
2026–2027 Housing Questionnaire
2026–2027 Universal Form

Please take a few minutes to review each form carefully and submit all required information. Every family needs to complete these forms, even if you have completed similar forms in previous school years.

Need Parent Portal Access?
If you need access to Parent Portal, please email the Bay Park Elementary front office so we can provide you with the information you need to get started. Kindergarten families will receive their Parent Portal Access ID and password at Back-to-School Night.

🍦🎉 Who Wants to Be the Next Class to Win a PTA Ice Cream Party?

NINE class parties have already been announced—and at this week’s Wednesday Morning Opening, we’ll reveal THREE more winning classes! Even more exciting: 5 classes are just five or fewer members away, so join the PTA today and help your class reach 75%!

Anyone can join—parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and even students—and joining does NOT mean you have to volunteer or attend meetings (although we’d LOVE to have you!) Just be sure to add your child’s grade and teacher so your membership counts for every Stingray in your family.

♻️ Recycling Days Are BACK at BPE!

Turn in those CRV-eligible plastic bottles and aluminum cans—every bottle and can adds up to something BIG for our students! This year we’ll be collecting weekly on Wednesdays, you can drop recyclables in the 3-minute Zone at Gate F on Erie Street—look for the Recycling Drop Off sign, or simply send the bag with your kiddo at drop-off so you don’t even have to get out of the car! 🚗♻️
