Principal's Message

Dear BIS Parents and Families,

Welcome to a brand new school year—one filled with potential, purpose, and the power to shape something legendary. This year, our guiding theme is “Building Legends, One Day at a Time.” It’s more than a slogan—it’s a shared vision that reminds us that legends aren't born; they are built—brick by brick, day by day, through meaningful effort and intentional action.

At Bayfield Intermediate School, we believe each day is an opportunity to help students grow into the confident, kind, and capable individuals they are meant to become. Whether it's through encouraging a challenge, celebrating progress, or nurturing curiosity, our mission is to lay strong foundations that will support their futures.

We know that legends are not made in a moment—they are the result of consistent support, effort, and care. This school year, we are committed to showing up for your child every single day—guiding them, challenging them, and celebrating every step of their journey.

As parents and guardians, you are key partners in this work. The love, structure, and encouragement you provide at home play an essential role in your child’s success. Together, we will inspire our students to aim high, persevere, and believe in their potential.

Let’s build something truly legendary this year—one day at a time, one moment at a time, one success at a time.

Thank you for entrusting us with your child’s learning. We’re honored to walk alongside your family this school year.

With gratitude and excitement,

Mr. Machallister
Principal
