Welcome to Bay Meadows Elementary School
Welcome to Bay Meadows Elementary School,
Bay Meadows will begin our 35th operational year, opening August of 1990, with the theme of “Dive Into Year 35”. It is an honor to be the principal of this amazing school and I am proud of the work done daily by our students, teachers, staff and volunteers. I look forward to seeing our Koalas return this August as we dive deeper into teaching and learning for all! Working together, we continue the rich history of family and community involvement contributing to our academic success. Bay Meadows is identified as an A school by the Florida Department of Education. Our team continues to be dedicated to increasing the academic achievement and success for all students through the use of project-based learning and STEAM integration.
As a STEAM Career Academy, teachers integrate cross curricular learning opportunities through the exploration of STEAM careers (science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics). STEAM project-based learning through thematic units of study and quarterly STEAM challenges provide engaging opportunities for our students. Students are being prepared for 21st Century careers and the necessary skills of problem solving, critical thinking and collaboration. In addition to art integration in their classroom, students experience art, music, dance and traditional physical education each week.
I appreciate you visiting our website. The website along with the Student Body Canvas Course for currently enrolled students will provide families with the information and resources needed for a successful year. Please visit the website and the Student Body Canvas Course (beginning August 12th) frequently for updates. You can enjoy the WBME News, a student run news broadcast, which is posted to the canvas course daily. Follow us on Facebook on the Bay Meadows official page or the Bay Meadows PTA page. We welcome volunteers and your involvement with PTA and our SAC. To be a part of our school community and support students and teachers throughout the year, please register as an ADDitions volunteer.
Ms. Dorries
Principal
