Voluntary Pre-K spots for next school year are still available! If your child is 4 years old on or before September 1, register them for VPK today!

VPK is so much more than childcare. It helps students learn routines, practice sharing and teamwork, build fine motor skills like writing and using scissors, and grow in independence and confidence...all before they ever step into a kindergarten classroom.

Register today: www.bay.k12.fl.us/o/bds/page/voluntary-pre-k-vpk

Greetings Cheetah Families,
As we move into warmer weather, please be mindful of our school dress code. Students have been wearing non dress code items and we need to get back on track. For example: We've been seeing an abundance of graphic t-shirts and ripped or colored/patterned pants recently. Attached is a visual of the BDS dress code. Thank you for your assistance in following our Bay District rules regarding proper attire.
