Baldwin Heights Elementary

Dear BH Families,

This month, we’re celebrating the power of reading through music and creativity. Students can join in fun activities, read song lyrics and books written by musicians, and explore how stories and songs connect. We’ll also enjoy watching concerts from major cities to see how music brings words to life. We can’t wait for your family to rock and read with us all month long! Attached you will find a monthly calendar with all the information! https://bit.ly/bhmirmcalendar2026

READING is the name of the game! Attached are your reading log stars: each star represents 15 minutes of reading! For PreK-2 grade students, being read to may count toward the 15 minutes of reading. For our 3-5 students, we encourage kids to engage in independent reading. https://bit.ly/bhmirmparentletter26

How do you play??
*For every 15 minutes of reading outside of the school day, cross off a star.
*When a full row of stars is crossed off, bring the completed portion to school, signed by a grown up.

How do you WIN?? LOTS of ways!
*Each row of signed stars will be entered into a weekly classroom drawing!
*Be the TOP READER in your class and choose a prize!
*The first grade level to reach their part of the school wide goal will earn an extra recess!
*Turn in the most reading logs for your grade level and earn a medal or trophy!
*The top grade level in K-1, 2 (TK)-3, and 4 (GSRP)-5 will win an ice cream sundae party.

When our students reach the building wide goal, Sir Rocksalot will make an appearance with the PageTurners!

Thank you and Happy Reading!
The Baldwin Heights Elementary Team

Special thanks to the Baldwin Heights PTO for financially supporting our Reading Month Prizes.

A signature is required for a reading log to be entered in the drawing.

​Greetings Greenville Public Schools Family!

On February 7th a small group of dedicated (and probably slightly crazy) Yellow Jackets plunged into the icy waters of Turk Lake to raise money for the annual Polar Plunge to benefit the Special Olympics. In this endeavor we were able to raise the most we've EVER raised in Frozen Jackets history with $10,080! The heart of the Frozen Jackets is Cari Scholtens who hypes up the team year after year. The MVP of the team and our fundraising champion once again is none other than Sarah Pratt who single handedly raised $4,625! This breaks the record she set last year as the most money ever raised by a single person in Frozen Jackets history!

We couldn't do what we do without all of your support! Thank you to each and every person who donated to this amazing cause. Until next year!!!

BH REMINDER: I ❤️ Spirit Week @ Baldwin Heights!
Monday = Love to be comfy! Wear your favorite pajamas.
Tuesday = Perfect Pair! Match with a friend or wear red/pink with the office.
Wednesday = I Heart Hats! Wear your favorite hat or festive headwear.
Thursday = Show What You Love! Wear your favorite team, band, artist, jersey, etc.

TOMORROW IS THE BIG DAY! The Frozen Jackets will voluntarily abandon warmth, logic, and happiness to leap into the icy, soul-stealing waters of Turk Lake for the Polar Plunge. We’re doing it for the incredible cause of the Special Olympics, because nothing says “support” like uncontrollable shivering and questionable life choices. Huge thanks to everyone who’s donated so far...your generosity helps make the freezing totally worth it. Any amount helps, and we promise to scream your name (or other choice words) on the way in!

Greetings Baldwin Heights School Family,

A multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) is a framework that our school uses to provide targeted support to struggling students. It focuses on the whole child. MTSS supports academic growth and achievement, as well as behavior needs. Our school uses positive behavior intervention supports (PBIS) to support behavior.

The multi-tiered supports are a large part of MTSS. These tiers of support increase in intensity from one level to the next.

Here is an update from our FALL data cycle and how we are doing in areas of MTSS at Baldwin Heights.

Have a great day!
