Hello Bay District Schools family, I’m Mark McQueen…

I just wanted to take a moment this week to check in.

As we settle into the spring semester, this is a great time for our families to pause and make sure your contact information is up to date in FOCUS. Accurate contact information helps us stay connected and ensures we can communicate quickly when it matters most.

For parents and guardians, I also encourage you to take a few minutes to check in on your student’s grades and attendance. Staying engaged throughout the semester—especially early on—can make a meaningful difference and helps us work together to support your child’s success.

If you have questions, concerns, or need support at any point this semester, please know that our schools are here to help. We value open communication and strong partnerships, and we encourage families to reach out to teachers, counselors, or school administrators whenever needed.

I want to take a moment to thank our teachers, staff, and administrators for the steady, caring work happening across our district every day. This time of year is about consistency, relationships, and showing up for students—and I see that commitment in our schools.

We are grateful for the partnership we share with our families and our community. Together, we are putting the “A” back in Bay.

Thank you, and I hope you have a great rest of the week.
