A Note from the Principal
Hello Baker Families,
What a wintery week Michigan brought us! We appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate the ability to safely open school, or the need to close. Please continue to pack all winter gear for students to enjoy their recess. We are heading outside as long as the wind-chill is above zero degrees.
Currently we are in the middle of our midyear assessment season. This includes our NWEA Map (Reading and Math, about 20 minutes each) and Running Records (reading one-on-one with their teacher). Thank you for ensuring your child has a full tummy, a good nights rest and is confident as we push their thinking and skills.
Baker is striving to ensure all students who are healthy make it to school. Please partner with us in getting your child to school each scheduled day. Attendance impacts their learning in such a powerful way.
We appreciate your partnership,
Respectfully,
Rachel Cimek
Kids Heart Challenge
Our school had so much fun kicking off this year’s Kids Heart Challenge this week! Our community
counts on lifesavers like you. Can we count on you to help us hit our goal of getting 50% of our
kiddos participating? BONUS: your student will get this awesome wristband just for joining our
schools team or using the KHC app.
Snow much FUN!
