Dear Families,
I’m excited to write to you as we move into the fourth week of school! The school is buzzing with activity and excitement. We have been working hard on establishing expectations and routines and teachers are starting to move into deeper work with content.
We’ve talked a lot about the home-school partnership this year and we hope you’re feeling connected to Baldwin school and that you feel informed. We look forward to welcoming you to Back to School Night next week--another great opportunity to get to know your child’s teachers and other families.
As we welcome new families, I want to share our community agreements, that were developed collaboratively with parents and staff during our School Council meetings. These agreements are what will help us meet our vision of Joy, Belonging, Challenge and Growth for Every Baldwin Student, Every Day.
With Love,
Heidi
