Greetings Baldwin Heights School Family!
The district would very much like your input about the school climate at Baldwin Heights. This link is to a survey that will help to provide our school with an overall understanding of how our BH families perceive school climate along four dimensions: school connectedness, school safety, school orderliness, and peer and adult relations. There is also a short section about reading.
The survey is 24 questions where you simply rank how much you agree or disagree with statements about our school climate. This data will be very important as we have dialogue at the school and district level about how to improve the school climate at Baldwin Heights. The deadline is THIS FRIDAY. Thank you so much for your help!
