Middle and Upper School Math Presentation
Thank you to the 60+ families who joined one of the two Monday meetings to hear about the new math curriculum being used in Grades 6 through 12. The conversation was very helpful for us. We heard what is going well and what we can do to strengthen your daughters’ comfort and confidence while engaging in a more rigorous math program. You may access the presentation here if you are interested in seeing it.

Thanksgiving Break
All-Academy
Thanksgiving break will begin at the conclusion of school on Tuesday, November 24. Classes will resume on Monday, November 30 with important differences across grade levels (see below for details).
Lower School and Middle School
- On Monday, November 30, the Lower and Middle School, Preschool through Grade 8 will return to school using their selected Learning Model (In-Person, Hybrid or Virtual.).
- If your chosen model is In-Person or Hybrid but you prefer to have your daughter learn virtually the week of Monday, November 30 through Friday, December 4, please contact Ms. Thompson at kthompson@bayviewacademy.org. These students will return to their normal Learning Model on Monday, December 7.
Upper School
- The Upper Schools will hold classes virtually for all students in Grades 9 through 12 from Monday, November 30 through Friday, December 4. Teachers will be teaching classes virtually from their respective classrooms.
- All Upper Schools students will return to their selected learning model on Monday, December 7.
Christmas Break
All-Academy
The Christmas Break will now start on Monday, December 21 rather than Wednesday, December 23. We know that everyone needs time to rest and refresh, and this change also has the benefit of less student contact after a weekend when people are likely to be out and about before Christmas.
- December 21 – First day of Christmas Break
- January 4 – Classes Resume
- January 18 – Martin Luther King Holiday
- January 25 – Professional Learning Day – No Classes
We truly hope that you enjoy the extra time with your daughters, extended family and friends. Our goal is to make this break as free of academic demands as possible so that we come back to school refreshed and ready for the New Year!
Middle and Upper School: Exam Schedule
We have also decided to postpone midterm exams until after the Christmas Break. We made that change in consultation with the Academic Council in order to provide more instructional time before exams. We understand the impact that a shorter first quarter had and don’t want that to continue to be a challenge for midterm exams.
- January 11–15 – Exam Week
- January 13 – Study Day
- January 25 – Grades Due
