Every Child, A Successful Learner, Everyday!

The Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) at Bay View is off to a great start for the 2007-2008 school year! We work with the faculty and staff to organize various school and academic events at Bay View. We meet once a month to discuss upcoming events and to vote on how our funds are spent.

All Bay View parents and faculty are encouraged to join the PTO. If you would like to become a member, please contact Dawn Branch at dbranch@ccps.org or 410-287-7581.

It's not too late to join PTO either.  Membership dues are $5.00 per family. The main goals for BVES PTO are to get families more involved with school-wide activities.  These activities include: monthly meetings, bingo, gardening, trick or treat/scarecrow making, Breakfast w/ Santa, & many more. Members of our PTO are encouraged to attend meetings and have your voice heard as well vote on items presented at meetings. Our meetings are held on the first Thursday of every month in the Art room.
