Remember that if anyone in your household becomes ill during this period of virtual learning and/or tests positive for COVID-19, please immediately notify Nurse Dee via email at dtran@baysideacademy.org . This medical information will be kept strictly confidential, but it is imperative that we have this knowledge as we work to keep our campus and school community safe.

If you need to obtain a Certificate of Immunization (COI) for your child, please email your request to School Nurse Dee Tran at dtran@baysideacademy.org . Nurse Dee has access to the Alabama Department of Public Health's online system for immunization and can get the needed COI for you.

Summer Studies/Academic Support
Does your child need to review key skills from the previous year or need support with summer reading? Numerous Bayside faculty members are available to provide academic support during the summer months. Due to the uncertainty of COVID-19 restrictions during the summer months, we are not certain if sessions will occur on campus or in a virtual learning environment. 

The fee for the Summer Studies program is $50 per hour for 1:1 academic support with a Bayside teacher, and each teacher will work with you to coordinate tutoring around your busy summer schedule.  

If you are interested in receiving a call from a Bayside teacher, please click on the button below. You should complete a separate form for each child in your family needing services. If you have any questions, please reach out to Marilee Propst at m prop st@baysideacademy.org .
SmartTuition Billing
June SmartTuition statements will go out on tomorrow (Monday, May 11) , and the first payment for all plans is due on Monday, June 1 . Remember that payments are due on the 1st, late on the 5th, and a $50 late fee is assessed on the 6th. All statements are sent out via email unless you have opted for paper invoices. (If you opted for paper invoices in 19/20, that should remain the same for the upcoming year.)

When logging into your smart account be sure to check to see if you have a balance remaining on your 2019 –20 20 account. You can do this by toggling to the 19/20 school year. If there is a balance for 19/20, you will need to pay that then toggle over to the 2020 –20 21 account to make a payment for the new year. If you currently have a credit on your 19/20 account that will be rolled over to the 20/21 account.

All billing and payment details can be viewed online at smarttuition.com . If you need to make a change to your payment plan or you would like to elect tuition insurance or accidental insurance, please contact Teresa Sellers at tsellers@baysideacademy.org .
