Our Guiding Principles

Our Guiding Principles

The four Guiding Principles inform all of us as to the direction of our decision-making, and more important, affirm how we must practice respect, tolerance, and kindness within the Bay Path community.

• First, all aspects of the health and well-being of all our students and our entire community are paramount.
• Second, the delivery of our academic programs, services, and co-curricular activities will continue to foster achievement and engagement among each of our unique student populations.
• Third, our decision-making is based on data, science, and the guidelines established by external experts, and we will be prepared to respond quickly and effectively as demanded by evolving public-health concerns.
• And finally, our ability to teach and learn together in a safe environment requires that all members of our community lean on one another and follow established guidelines consistently and compassionately. “We all share and accept the responsibility for keeping ourselves and each other healthy.”
