Baldwin Heights wishes you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving! Back by popular request, here is a short video to share with your children to celebrate this wonderful day: https://bit.ly/happythanksgiving2023
We invite your kids to walk with Baldwin Heights in the Downtown Christmas Parade on Friday, December 1st! We'll meet at 6:30pm by the First Congregational Church. Dress in your favorite festive fashion. We'll have cookies, necklaces, and candy to give out. It's a fun (and short) event for the whole family! No need to sign up...just show up and look for Mr. Walsh in his Christmas Tree costume. ;)
Some of our 5th grade students at Baldwin Heights were convicted to reach out and make a video to promote our school-wide care project to collect items for Have Mercy. They had the idea, created the script, and did all the filming themselves! Special thanks to Mrs. Kenney for allowing these students an opportunity to creatively express what was on their hearts for such a good cause.

Dear Baldwin Heights School Family,
Next month we have parent-teacher conferences on November 16, 17, and 20.
Nov 16 = 4pm-8pm
Nov 17 = 1pm-4pm
Nov 20 = 5pm-8pm
Conferences will be either in-person or virtual and will take place in-person, on Google Meet, or over the phone. We, of course, prefer IN-PERSON but understand each family may have their own preference. Each teacher has a Google Meet link that will be available to you for the 15 minute conference time frame. To sign up for a conference time in any format, please go to this site (School Bookings) and put in the pertinent information:

If you have any questions or if you need to change your conference day/time, please contact your child’s teacher or the Baldwin Heights office (616-754-3643) for assistance.
