Welcome to Fall, Baker Families!

We are gearing up for Parent/Teacher Conferences next week. Our teachers are eager to share important academic and social/emotional data with you! If you haven't signed up for a conference time with your student's teacher - please do that ASAP.

There will be no school on Friday, October 11 and Monday, October 14 for our Fall Break. We hope you enjoy the extra time with your kiddos!

We also have Walk-A-Thon/Chalk-A-Thon approaching on Friday, October 18th! If you are considering attending, please ensure you have a background check submitted by Wednesday, October 16. Those who have not submitted their online form will unfortunately not be permitted to join students.

Sincerely,

Amanda Nast

Reading Buddies are SO FUN!

The pictured students above were chosen by their teachers because they showed EMPATHY during the month of September. Back row is Kenna, Camrynn, Addilyn, Abigail and Monroe. Front row is Liberty, Olivia, Raelynn, Peyton, Lorelei and Evey. Congratulations!
