Dear Baldwin Families,
I hope everyone had a wonderful break and enjoyed some quality family time, football, and of course, some good food! I can't believe it's already December – time really does fly when you’re learning! As we approach the end of the semester, I want to take a moment to update you on a few important items.
First, registration for the 2025-2026 school year is now open. Please take a moment to log into your Parent Portal and complete the registration process. AISD has worked hard to make this process easier, so it should be quick and simple. This registration is for any student who will be attending any AISD school next year, so if you have a child continuing with us, be sure to take care of it soon.
If you're considering a transfer or applying for a magnet school, I recommend getting started early to ensure you meet all the necessary timelines. For parents of PK students, if Baldwin is not your home campus, you will need to login and register, then request a transfer for their Kindergarten year. Also, if you know of any families who have a child interested in the PK program for the fall, registration for that will open in April.
As a reminder, AISD has an initiative to increase attendance across all campuses. Please help us by ensuring that your child is present every day they are well. We understand that sickness can happen, but we kindly ask that you avoid taking vacations or extended weekends. Student attendance has a direct impact on funding for the district, and your support is crucial.
Looking ahead, we have some exciting events in December. On December 3, 2024, we’ll be celebrating Winter Wonderland from 5:00 - 7:00! Our Book Fair will be open, and Santa will be visiting! Make sure to check out the Baldwin PTA website for more details on making reservations and ordering pizza for your dinner.
We’ll also be having some fun dress-up days throughout the month, with a new theme each day. Please don’t feel the need to purchase anything special – these dress-up days are just for fun, and if your child can’t participate one day, that’s absolutely okay. A "December to Remember" calendar with all the details is attached for your reference.
If you’re interested in signing up for the Human Sexuality and Responsibility class for grades K-5, the last day to register is Monday, December 2nd at 5:00 pm. After that time, the Google form will close. If you miss the registration deadline, don’t worry – the website has all the information you need, and you can review it with your child at home. Students not enrolled in the program will attend an alternative class focused on social-emotional learning.
Our class parties will be held on Friday, December 20th. Please refer to the schedule below for your child’s class party time. To ensure the safety and security of all our students, you will need to present an ID to enter the building, and only students in the designated class will be allowed to participate in the party. If you check out a sibling early, they will not be permitted to attend another sibling’s party, so please make sure to take them out of the building if you plan to leave early.
I look forward to seeing all of you as we wrap up this fall semester. Thank you, as always, for your continued support.
Warm regards,
Jennifer Murray
Principal, Baldwin Elementary
