Message from the Principal
Bay Harbor Families,
As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, I wanted to take a moment to appreciate and be thankful for all that we have at Bay Harbor as a learning community! I am so humbled on a daily basis because of the parent connections and care, the engaged and empowered students, and the phenomenal crew we have that help pull it all together and make great things happen. Enjoy the days off as a family and take time to slow down and focus on TOGETHER.
FALL FEST
Thank you to our lead Fall Fest organizer, Tara Collins, the slew of volunteers, and to all of you who attended this fantastic (and record setting) event. We all hope you enjoyed your time. Thank you for supporting both your children and our school by taking part in this event! All of the money made will be going back to your children in some way, shape or form so we can continue to enhance our learning experiences for kids that are more Authentic-Innovative-Connected and Inspired.
Friday Half Day (11:45 Release)
On Friday, students will be released at 11:45 and after they have been served lunch. For all of you heading to Madison to support the BP Football team as they battle for the programs first State Football Title, please travel safe and enjoy the unforgettable experience! This week, students made a large banner, filled with painted hand print high fives, wishing the team good luck. This is hung in the main area of BP high school for all to see (see pictures below). We also created a short video to send to the team during our “Read 20” assembly. It is fun to share this experience with our students in any way we can.
Thank you for your partnership and GO PIRATES!

Attention Families of 3rd and 4th Grade Students!
At Bay Harbor, building leadership and social/emotional awareness is an important on-going goal. As part of these activities, later this month, students will be completing an online questionnaire that encourages them to reflect on their own mindsets and approaches to learning. It is our goal to help students and teachers learn more about themselves and how they learn best by completing this process.
If you have questions, please contact Becky Wright, School Counselor, at 920-662-8805. Thank you for your ongoing support of your student(s) and of our school.

From your School Board
November 2019 HSSD GRADUATE PROFILE The Howard-Suamico School District (HSSD) vision is an authentic, innovative, connected, and inspired experience for an ever-changing future. In order to achieve this vision for our students, HSSD Graduate Profile has been developed to include seven characteristics that are at the center of learning in our schools and community. Graduate Profile characteristics are critical skills for engaged citizenship, successful career paths, and meaningful community involvement. Graduate Profile characteristics include self-starter, critical thinker, collaborator, communicator, adaptable, responsible, and solutionist. Rigorous academic standards present daily opportunities for students to demonstrate profile characteristics in our classrooms. Foundational academic skills learned and measured alongside the graduate profile characteristics accentuate a whole-student experience in HSSD. Throughout the year, the Board of Education monitors student performance in HSSD Graduate Profile seven characteristics. At the October 21 Board meeting, we talked with teachers from multiple grade levels and observed mathematics lessons in action with students developing critical thinker and solutionist skills. At the November 18 Board meeting, we met with teachers and literacy coaches and observed literacy lessons in action with students growing as communicators. To provide rich learning opportunities, instructional practices are now emphasizing performance tasks so that students can grow and learn these seven characteristics. Seeing our students intentionally developing HSSD Graduate Profile characteristics is exciting and rewarding because we know they are being prepared to thrive in our complex and rapidly changing world. For more information about the Howard-Suamico School District, Board of Education, please visit our website at www.hssdschools.org, or for additional information, please reach out to your Board member located in this article.
