Summer Camps

Bayside offers a wide variety of highly popular summer camp programs. These programs are a wonderful opportunity for your child(ren) to meet some of their new classmates and become more familiar with our campus.

Parent Organizations

  • Parent Groups
    • There are many ways for parents to get involved at Bayside, and we hope you will take advantage of the opportunity to become an active part of the Bayside family. The Bayside Parents Association works to support the administration and faculty in creating the best possible educational experience. Parents in Prayer meets weekly and is facilitated by Bonnie Campbell (P'34).
  • Parent Ambassadors
    • Parent Ambassadors play an important role in welcoming new families to the Bayside Academy family. They serve as liaisons for the community, providing information on everything from Bayside’s culture and traditions to uniforms and carline. New families are introduced to their grade-specific Parent Ambassador in early August.

Technology Requirements

We have a "bring your own device" model in the Upper School to allow you and your student(s) to choose the laptop device with which you are most comfortable. Students in Grades 9–12 are required to bring an approved laptop device to school each day and should be prepared to use this primary device at any time during the school day. 

Below is the list of minimum device requirements for compatibility with the Bayside network. For your convenience, we have also included a list of recommended laptops for both PC and Apple platforms. Devices such as iPads, Android tablets, and Windows RT tablets, as well as eReaders such as the Nook and Kindle, do not meet Bayside’s primary device requirements. While these devices are popular with students, they do not support the full range of specific classroom applications.

Minimum Device Requirements

  • Laptop with an attached/built in keyboard (no removable keyboards.)
  • Windows 10 Professional Edition or Macintosh operating system.
  • i3 Processor
  • 4 GB Ram
  • 250 GB Internal HD or Cloud Storage
  • Earbuds or headphones with built-in microphone
  • Access to the Internet via Wi-Fi
  • Ability to display Adobe Flash content
  • Minimum of 4-hour battery life
  • Productivity suite (Microsoft Office 2013 or higher, LibreOffice, Apple’s iWork Suite/Pages)
  • Virus, malware, and spyware protection (updated versions with automatic updates)

Additional Recommendations

Not required but strongly encouraged
  • External hard drive, flash drive, or cloud-based storage for backing up files
  • Additional AC power adapter (one for school and one for home)
  • High-capacity battery if available
  • PROTECTIVE COMPUTER SLEEVE OR BACKPACK WITH A LAPTOP COMPARTMENT FOR INCREASED PROTECTION
