Dear Baldwin Community,
As we step into the chilly month of February, I wanted to share some updates on things happening here at Baldwin. While this time of year can feel a bit gray, we’re excited to bring you some bright news and updates!
Registration Updates: We want to remind you that general registration is open until February 4th. After this date, general registration will close until April. If you’re planning to enroll for next year, be sure to complete your registration before this deadline! Pre-K early bird registration for families paying tuition will open on February 5th, and this year, it will be through a lottery system. If you know someone interested in enrolling, please encourage them to visit the AISD website to get started.
Parent Consideration Forms: Each year, we offer our Parent Consideration forms. These forms allow you to share important, confidential information with the administration to help us better understand your child’s unique needs, such as their learning style, social-emotional needs, or any other details that might be important for us to know. Please note, this form is not for requesting specific teachers or friends, as we do not accommodate those requests, but it is an opportunity for you to share input as we work together to plan for a successful next school year.
Teacher of the Year & Teacher of Promise: We are thrilled to announce that Ms. Melissa Marsh has been named Baldwin’s Teacher of the Year! We couldn’t be more proud of her dedication, passion, and the care she gives to our students every single day. She truly deserves this recognition! In addition, we want to congratulate Ms. Stevie Castellanos, who received the Teacher of Promise award! This honor goes to a new teacher who has shown remarkable talent and a natural gift for teaching. We love to see the wonderful impact Ms. SC is already making here at Baldwin
APEX Fundraiser & SEL Program: We’re also excited to share that APEX is coming to Baldwin for a fun-filled fundraising event! APEX is a two-week program that combines lessons on Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) with an obstacle course to help raise money for our school. The program kicks off on Monday, March 3rd, and we’ll wrap it up with an exciting obstacle course on Thursday, March 13th. Funds raised during this event will go towards supporting teacher interventionists and campus upgrades like a new sound system, cafeteria projector, poster maker, electronic die-cut machine, and audiobooks. Additionally, teachers will receive 10% of their class’s funds to use for classroom resources. Stay tuned for more details coming soon!
We are incredibly grateful for the strong partnership we have with our Baldwin families. Your involvement, support, and dedication to our students make all the difference in creating a positive, nurturing environment for everyone. We appreciate everything you do to help our school thrive!
Warm regards,
Jennifer Murray
Principal, Baldwin Elementary
