Dear Baker Families,

To support our students' health and success, Baker Elementary will be conducting state-mandated health screenings during the school day on October 7, 2026. These routine checks help us identify potential vision, hearing, or health concerns early so every child can thrive in the classroom!

Screening Schedule by Grade Level:

1st, 3rd, & 5th Grade: Vision, Hearing, and Risk Assessment for Type 2 Diabetes

Kindergarten & Students New to the District (2nd & 4th Grade): Vision and Hearing

A Quick Reminder for Parents: If your child wears glasses or contact lenses, please make sure they wear or bring them to school on screening day so we can get the most accurate results.

If any screenings indicate that a child might need further evaluation, Nurse Wilson will follow up directly with families by sending a referral letter home.

Nurse Wilson is always here to partner with you in keeping our students healthy, safe, and ready to learn. Please don't hesitate to reach out to the clinic if you have any questions!

YOUR CHILD IS INVITED TO PLANT A PUMPKIN IN OUR PUMPKIN PATCH DURING THE MONTH OF OCTOBER. THIS IS AN OPTIONAL ACTIVITY AND SHOULD BE DONE AT HOME. YOUR CHILD CAN CHOOSE A CHARACTER FROM A BOOK AND TRANSFORM THE PUMPKIN INTO THAT CHARACTER. PLEASE USE ARTIFICIAL PUMPKINS FOR THIS PROJECT! YOU MAY BRING IN A COPY OF THE BOOK THAT MATCHES YOUR PUMPKIN FOR THE DISPLAY IF YOU WISH!

WHEN: TUESDAY, OCTOBER 5th, 2026 THROUGH FRIDAY OCTOBER 30th, 2026

IN THE BAKER LIBRARY PLEASE PICKUP PUMPKINS BY FRIDAY NOVEMBER 6TH.
