Parents are advised to stress on punctuality and regularity. Both these factors are crucial to your child’s progress.
New students will stay initially for one hour and will be eased into a full day as they adjust to their new environment.
In the event that your child is unable to attend school, the school office should be promptly informed either by phone or in writing.
Parents who wish to take their children home early should speak to the receptionist who will get permission from the appropriate administrator and call for your child to come to the office. Please give the school office advance notice so prior arrangements can be made.
For security purposes, any person picking up a student early will be required to prove that he or she has your authority to do so. We strongly advise that they be in possession of your child’s school ID.
A fee bill will be sent at the beginning of each quarter. All fees must be paid by the indicated settlement date or a surcharge will be added.

Furthermore, please note that once a quarter has commenced, the entire quarter’s fees will be charged and no portion of it is refunded.
Long leave is granted at the school’s discretion after parents submit the Long Leave Application Form. To be eligible for long leave, the period of leave should be at least one full academic year and fees should be paid in full for the entire period of absence.
It is expected that a student on long leave will be enrolled in a recognized educational institution for the entire period of his/her absence and any academic progress reports must be submitted to the school upon rejoining Bay View Academy.
At the end of an academic session if the parents wish to continue or discontinue the long leave status, the school must be informed three months in advance.

Your child’s hair should be checked regularly for lice. Lice are easily transferred and must be treated immediately.
If your child has any food related allergies, please inform his/her class teacher.
Children suffering from an infectious disease will not be allowed to attend school. In such cases, a doctor’s certificate must be submitted to the school office upon the child’s return.
Parents are required to leave a set of clothes in school bearing the child’s name. These will be used for any unforeseen emergencies.
If you wish to celebrate your child’s birthday at school, please inform the class teacher at least one day in advance. Parents may bring a cake, but ‘goody bags’ or elaborate invitation cards in the form of a gift will not be distributed at school.
Stationery will be provided by the school.
