Baldwin School Site Council
Be part of a group of parents and faculty that work in conjunction with the Baldwin faculty teams to work toward the school's improvement goals, outlined in the school improvement plan. This year, we will continue work on 'the Baldwin way.' Commitment of a Site Council Member: Attend a 60 minute meeting once a month (on the 3rd Wednesday of the month at 8AM). Your child is welcome to accompany you or can go to the cafeteria for breakfast or to the gymnasium for Let's Move. Meetings are in the school library. Please come to a meeting to see what it is all about. The next meeting: Wednesday, February 15 at 8AM.
All-School Meetings
Each month, the Baldwin School has an all-school meeting. This is an opportunity for the entire school to get together as a community. It is run like a Responsive Classroom morning meeting starting with a greeting followed by classroom shares. Classrooms take turns sharing their work. All are welcome to attend.
The next all-school meeting is Wednesday, February 15 at 2PM.
