Bayshore Elementary School Staff
Our staff is dedicated to providing a high quality and rigorous education for all students. We also believe, as a staff, that we are more than educators, we are an important part of our community. Therefore, we give back to our community through participation in some annual events in St. Lucie County. We invite you to become involved and support our efforts.

Bayshore is an inclusion school. We believe that all children should be placed in the Least Restrictive Environment with support from caring educators. An inclusive school is one that “educates students with disabilities in age-appropriate general education classrooms with specialized instruction and supports as determined by their IEP. Special education services are provided within the context of a general education curriculum and class activities in the school that the students would attend if s/he did not have a disability.” –
