Or just come hang out and cheer—spectators welcome!
Let’s make this an afternoon to remember. We can’t wait to see you there!
For the safety of our students and to keep traffic flowing smoothly, we need your help with afternoon pickup. We’ve noticed some vehicles being left unattended on Dascola Lane while parents walk up to the building. This creates unsafe congestion because Dascola is a narrow two-lane road and double-parking blocks traffic.
To keep everyone safe:
*Please do not leave your vehicle parked or unattended on Dascola Lane.
*If you are picking up your child, remain in your vehicle and follow the designated pickup line.
*Staff will be on hand to help keep traffic moving and ensure students get to their rides safely.
We appreciate your cooperation and patience as we work together to make dismissal as safe and efficient as possible for all families.
Thank you for your support!
Sincerely,
Mike Walsh
Principal of Baldwin Heights Elementary

Greetings Baldwin Heights!
The kids had an assembly today and we talked about our school-wide expectations of being SAFE, RESPONSIBLE, RESPECTFUL, GOOD LEARNERS! It was awesome and we ended up having a fun competition to kick off the school year.
Be sure to ask your child about BEE-HAVIOR Tickets! Kids can earn tickets for demonstrating correct Bee-haviors tied directly to our school-wide expectations. Kids can then use the ticket sto purchase items from their classroom store. After each store, tickets will go to the media center to be part of our school-wide goal; the building reward choice will rotate by grade level starting with 5th grade! :)
We do realize that these are similar to our buzz cards from last year, but much easier to manage, distribute, and reward students more than weekly drawings. We look forward to having another wonderful year at Baldwin Heights where positive BEE-HAVIOR is the key to success!
Go Jackets!
Baldwin Heights Family!
Open House was a tremendous success and we are grateful for everyone who endured the heat! :)
Couple of quick reminders:
*Students won't be allowed in the building until 8:50am as we don't have supervision until then. Please adjust your morning schedule accordingly as we don't want large groups of students congregating for too long unsupervised. ;)
*Remember that we have a STAGGERED dismissal: Kgn/3rd/5th @ 3:40pm; 1st/2nd/4th @ 3:45pm.

*NO SCHOOL on Friday, Aug 22
