School Climate Survey
These surveys are anonymous. The broad intent of the survey is to use the results for progress monitoring in the areas of school climate and engagement which align with our Local Control Accountability Program, our school vision and mission, and school board goals.
This year we are using a company named Panorama for our survey. There are 32 likert scale or multiple choice and one fill-in questions. The survey should take around 12 minutes to complete.
The survey will close at 4:00 p.m. on Friday, October 29th. The link is below:
Thank you so much for your important input into making our school the best it can be!
Microwave Guidance
Microwaves are available for grades 3-8 for reheating food only. Please do not have your child bring food that needs to be prepared such as macaroni and cheese or Cup a Soups as these items require a lot of time for preparation (which makes other students have to wait) and adult supervision. As well, these items increase risk of a student getting burned..
If you want your child to have warm food, please have your child bring pre-cooked food to be heated in a microwave safe container, or bring pre-heated soups or stews in a Thermos container. Thank you for your support in assuring our students are safe.
Seasonal Fun!

Happy 100th Birthday Camp Baldy School!
The teachers have planned activities in recognition of our 100th year every day of this week. Be sure to ask your child what they are doing to celebrate our 100th.
COVID Testing for Students--Be Prepared and Pre-register!
Please know that we will not test your child without your verbal consent, even if you have turned in a virtual consent form--but doing so will eliminate a step down the road. We also have COLOR PCR tests, which take longer for results as they must be shipped to be processed., to verify a positive result from the antigen test.
Primary Health is the platform we use to track testing, parent consents, and notifications. The link below is to our district site.
We will be providing more information about the testing process, but ask for your assistance now in filling out the virtual testing consent for your chld(ren).
Please know that the online registration asks for questions that you may opt to not answer.
Please Sign Consent Form
Student/Parent Handbook and COVID-19 Amendment
Please review safe mask handling with your child or children. You may want to provide your child with a breakaway lanyard to assist with keeping track of masks while going inside and out, for those who choose to take their masks off outside.
Reminder: check your cell phones weekly and make sure your voice mail isn't full!
