Middle School Strength Development at Bay Port HS

This is an outstanding opportunity to develop great work habits and to ensure each athlete begins to maximize their potential.  Improvement in a sport occurs in 3 places.  1. You become more competitive.  2. You become more skilled  3. You become a better athlete, i.e faster more explosive.  Our focus is on #3.  In sports today so much time and energy is focused on traveling teams and tournaments.  Sometimes we lose sight of the reality that it is a small part of maximizing each athletes ability to reach their full potential.  Let's get better future pirates, and have fun doing it!!!

 

When: Every Wednesday, beginning January 4th and will conclude early to mid March.

 

Time: Arrive at Bay Port by bus from Bay View at 3:00.  Parents can pick your student up at Bay Port in the staff parking lot near the football field at 4:00pm.

 

Who: Any 7th or 8th grade athlete! 

 

Focus: Introduction to the facility at Bay Port.  We will look at body position and posture, begin teaching from the ground up to ensure students learn correct form and safety.

 

Cost: Free

 

Details

Students will be transported by bus from Bay View to the HS.  7th graders will load on bus number BV13.  8th graders will load on bus number BV 16.  Students should have workout type clothes and shoes.  As students arrive at the HS they will change and report to the weight room.  Coaches and student helpers will meet them at the bus and escort them into the building.  Parents can pick your child up at 4pm.

Head Lice (Pediculosis)

Now that we are all back to school, a reminder to all that with close contact comes the increased chance of spreading head lice. Please help us by taking initiative on checking your child’s hair closely if you suspect head lice. Head lice are tiny, wingless insects that live on the human scalp and are transmitted by direct head-to-head contact because lice do not fly or jump. Early identification is important as well as continued daily combing for nits (lice eggs) at home if lice is identified. Having nits is not a reason to miss school. Please utilize the attached document for further information as well as treatment options.  

For more information on how to treat or prevent head lice, visit our school nurse website at http://hssdschoolnurse.weebly.com/lice.html

May is Mental Health Awareness Month

With summer months approaching and the school year quickly coming to an end, we wanted to reach out and give you some warnings signs and symptoms of potential mental illness or suicide and local resources for youth mental health. Together, we can work to prevent suicide. 

Experts tell us that students who contemplate suicide give warning signs of their distress. Mental Health America reports: "Parents and family members are usually the first to notice if a child has problems with emotions or behavior.” Parents sometimes tend to write off warning signs as the “bad teen years.” That is dangerous. We need to be more aware of warning signs and help connect young people and their families to the help they need. 

If you have concerns about your child’s mental health, or the mental health of their friends, or a child in the neighborhood, please reach out to either community agencies or your school (if it is in session). An outside professional can look at the young person through the lens of what one would expect for kids of that age.  As a district, as a community, we must maintain our steadfast commitment to the safety of our children. 

Did You Know?

*Mental illness affects 1 in every 4 adults, 

*90% of those who complete suicide have a diagnosable mental health condition

*The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that as many as 1 in 5 young people under the age of 18 will experience a diagnosable mental health problem in a given year, so it’s important to be able to address signs and

symptoms early.
