Dear Bahia Vista Families,

The Spring 2026 results from our Safe Routes to School survey are now officially available! You can view Bahia Vista’s specific data by visiting the Safe Routes to Schools Survey Dashboard and selecting "Bahia Vista" from the pull-down menu in the upper right corner.

To help us continue improving traffic safety and transportation options around our campus, we will be conducting our next Fall survey on September 22, 23, and 24. We aim to collect data on all three days for maximum accuracy, but will gather responses across at least two of these dates.
During the survey, we will tally how our students travel to and from school across these specific modes:
  • Walk: Includes walking, park-and-walk, and scootering
  • Bike
  • Carpool: Students traveling together from two or more families
  • Single Family Vehicle: Carrying one or more students from the same family
Please mark September 22, 23, and 24 on your calendars! We appreciate your support in helping us gather accurate data to keep our school routes safe and accessible for all students.

In service, 
Julio Villalobos- Principal

Current Progress & Key Milestones
  • Preparations for field turf installation are continuing, with installation anticipated to begin in the coming weeks. Once underway, field turf installation is expected to take approximately two weeks to complete.
  • The volcano play structure has been completed, with the contractor awaiting the return of the fall-surfacing crew to install the remaining poured-in-place safety surfacing.
  • Remaining parking lot striping is underway and will be completed as weather conditions allow.
  • Remaining site improvements include fencing installation.
  • The project continues to move toward completion as crews focus on the remaining field, playground, and site improvements.
