Dear Bayview Families,
I am very honored to be Bayview Elementary’s Principal. I have been Bayview’s principal for 15 years! My background involves teaching in the elementary grades. I have a Bachelors in Special Education, a Masters in Reading Specialist and Administration. I am also a Mom of two boys who are now in 6th and 3rd grade in the Red Bank public Schools..
I love my job because I get to help others and be part of a community that cares. My goal is that your children arrive to a safe school environment where they are learning and feeling loved. We are a place where all kids come first.
Bayview’s school vision is to provide opportunities to collaborate with, learn alongside and embrace individual differences and abilities among staff, students and the community. Bayview Elementary will foster an engaging and nurturing learning environment. Through this process all students will be taught empathy, understanding of differences as well as celebrate individual strengths, challenges and talents.
Our theme for the beginning of the school year is to help our students find one word to help them have their best year ever. When you have a moment, ask your child the word they chose. Identifying one word will help our children discover what they love and what is important to them.
Most of my communication will be through School Messenger, so please check your email for regular messages.
Have a great school year!
Sincerely,
Tara Raspanti, Principal of Bayview Elementary School
