Our children are safe, healthy and supported by well-prepared educators in collaboration with parents and the community to ensure that students become successful in school, college and life.

We are in Year 2 of the PESSA Pre K to Grade 3 (Promoting   Early School Success for All) grant at Bayside Elementary. Our  ‘Design   Team’ - consisting of teachers, our principal, community preschool and   afterschool partners and interested parents - was formed in the Fall of 2010.   Together, we determined a course of action for our site in each of the six   focus areas of the PESSA Initiative.  These areas include:
 
  1)    A shared vision and partnership among programs at   Bayside
  2)    An affirming school climate that is culturally competent
  3)    High quality teaching in language and literacy
  4)    Vertical and Horizontal alignment of standards,   curricula and assessments
  5)    Families who are engaged in supporting their children in   school
  6)    Expanded learning opportunities for children
 
  We invite you to come back to the website soon for new information and   updates to this wonderful effort happening on behalf of our students and   families at Bayside. The link to the Marin Community Foundation will give you   more information about their strategic initiative to close the achievement   gap and the role of Early Education in achieving that goal.
