Dear Bahia Vista Families,

We are excited to invite you to attend the California Association for Bilingual Education (CABE) 2026 Conference, a statewide event that celebrates bilingualism, multicultural education, and student success.

To support parent participation, San Rafael City Schools will be securing transportation (bus) for parents to attend the conference on Friday, March 6, 2026. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn about programs, resources, and strategies that support bilingual students and families, while connecting with other parents from across California.

We hope you will join us for this enriching experience and be part of a powerful community supporting bilingual education. If you would like to attend please connect with Cristina Avelar (Community Schools Lead) in person, via email or via phone to get on the registration list.

We invite you to join us for our next PiQE Parent Engagement Workshop on Wednesday, January 28 at 6:00 PM, held virtually via Zoom (Link)

Workshop Topic: Topic: Self-management, Academic standards, and standardized testing.

Thank you for being active partners in our school community. We look forward to continuing this important work together and welcoming even more families to future PiQE sessions.

You are warmly invited to attend our upcoming School Site Council (SSC) meeting on Thursday, January 29 at 3:00 PM in Room 1B23.

The main focus of this meeting will be to review and discuss the YouthTruth Survey results. Your voice and perspective are essential as we reflect on this feedback and consider next steps to support our students and school community.

We hope you will join us for this important conversation and be part of the collaborative process that helps guide our school’s growth and improvement. Thank you for your continued partnership and support. We look forward to seeing you there.

In service,

Julio Villalobos

At Bahia Vista Elementary School,

We believe that every day counts. Regular attendance is one of the most important factors in ensuring student success. When students are present, they engage in learning, build strong habits, and strengthen our school community.

I am excited to share that from January 20-23, our students showed great commitment to being present and ready to learn. A special congratulations goes out to Ms. Scannell's Class with a 100% attendance rate for primary grade (TK-2nd) and Ms. Brand's with a 98.61% attendance rate for upper grades (3rd-5th grade).

All classes were given a dragon stuff animal that they keep for the week and return it at our next PBIS rally. Your dedication to showing up every day sets a shining example for our entire school.

Let’s continue to make attendance a priority. Together, we can help our students build a bright future—one school day at a time!
