The mission of the San Lorenzo Unified School District's Human Relations committee is to promote interpersonal and intergroup understanding, enhance appreciation and respect for the differences between people, improve communication between the different elements in the school community, and generally make the District more sensitive and responsive to the community it serves.

Bay School's Vision
Early adolescence is a time of transition. No other age encompasses such a unique range of intellectual, physical, ethical, emotional and social development. To address the special needs of young adolescents we envision elementary schools which:

• Provide all students access to a challenging comprehensive curriculum where all can succeed.
• Foster smaller learning environments that nurture relationships with peers, significant adults and the larger world.
• Engage families within the wider community to support the learning process.
• Establish a culture and climate of shared responsibility for ongoing improvement and growthin the community it serves.
• Create a safe environment that recognizes and respects the diversity of our school community.
