Focused on Student Safety
Bay Arenac ISD developed these parent communication documents through a school safety grant. These single page safety related documents highlight what schools do to keep kids safe and what families can do at home to keep their children safe. To download or view click on the links below:

New Uniform Policy Reminder
Students may wear jeans this year on any school day. Jeans may not have rips or holes in them. Shirts of any color may br worn but may not contain images of skulls, skeletons, knives or other items not appropriate for school. Please call if you have any questions.
Games Needed
We are in need of games or puzzles you no longer use or want but are still in usable shape for our indoor recess room. If you are willing to donate, please send them to the office. Thank You!
New Security System
We have installed a buzzer system on the inside set of doors by the office. Any person entering the school building will sign in by the window just inside the main doors and will have to be buzzed through into the building.
If you are picking up a child early, you will need to sign them out at the window and wait for them to be called down to the office. We hope this system helps ensure that every child at the Academy is safe and secure while learning.
Parking Lot Concerns
We know the parking lot is tight and often congested both before and after school and can be frustrating. Please, for the safety of all of our students, take extra time and care when driving in and around the school.
- Watch for students running out from between cars or across the parking lot.
- Drive slowly in the parking lot area.
- Do not park or wait in the traffic lane by the office, pull into a parking space if you need more time.
- Please let the office know if there is anything else we can do to help the situation.
School Closing Announcements
If Bay City Public Schools are closed, we are too. Announcements will be announced on the following stations:
Radio: WIOG, WHNN, WSGW, WUGN
TV: WNEM-5, WJRT-12, NBC-25
When calling school, there are now a new option for reporting a student’s absence or late arrival. Please just leave your child’s name and when you expect them to return.
You can also now dial your child’s teacher by name and leave a message for him/her to get back to you.

School Board Meetings
The Bay County PSA School Board meets the second Wednesday of each month beginning at 5:30 p.m.
The public is welcome to attend these meetings and reminders of Board Meetings are posted on the parking lot doors 7 days in advance of the meeting.
Members of the public can sign up to speak to the Board before the meeting starts or you can just observe.
STAR Expectations
Help us promote a safe and orderly school environment. We now have school wide rules and expectations that we are learning and practicing. The school wide rules should help anyone who is in our school building feel that they are safe. You will see posters around our hallways with our rules, expectations, voice levels, and new STAR pledge. When you are in the building, please help us by following our school wide rules and expectations.
School-wide Expectations:
Be Safe
Be Kind
Be Responsible
STAR Pledge:
I am Safe
I Try Hard
I Achieve
I am Responsible and Respectful
I am and always will be a STAR!
1. Using child friendly language in the school.
2. Keep topics of conversation appropriate for
the school building.
3. Please keep conversation voices low while
classes are in session.
4. Treat all other adults and children in the
building with respect. Please just leave your child’s name and when you expect them to return.
Safety
We continue to monitor supervision of our students
at arrival and dismissal from the Academy, on the
playground, in the hallways , and in the gym/cafeteria.
We continue to ask for your help in this endeavor
so that “best practices” provide for
your child’s safety at all times. If you are
running late, a telephone call to our office (684-6484)
is appreciated. Students not picked up by 3:45 pm
will be delivered to OASIS to await the arrival of
their parents and charged $2.00 until 4:00 pm, when
normal OASIS fees will prevail. Children who are
unsupervised by an adult will not be able to leave
the building and wait for their ride. Children will
need to be picked up or they will be delivered to
OASIS. Our children worry when a parent or other
designated adult is not waiting for them.
Your Concerns
Your
concerns are my concerns. Please do not hesitate to call
me if you have any questions or suggestions for improving
our already great school, Ms. Parrish at 684-6484.
