Dear Baldwin Heights School Family, Later this month we have parent-teacher conferences on November 21, 22, and 25. Nov 21 = 4pm-8pm Nov 22 = 1pm-4pm Nov 25 = 5pm-8pm Conferences will be either in-person or virtual and will take place in-person, on Google Meet, or over the phone. We, of course, prefer IN-PERSON but understand each family may have their own preference. Each teacher has a Google Meet link that will be available to you for the 15 minute conference time frame. To sign up for a conference time in any format, please go to this site (School Bookings) and put in the pertinent information: https://bit.ly/bhptconferencesignup24 If you have any questions or if you need to change your conference day/time, please contact your child’s teacher or the Baldwin Heights office (616-754-3643) for assistance.

The Baldwin Heights school family wishes you all a safe and happy Halloween! Besides the surrounding neighborhoods and usual spots...do you need an AMAZING place to Trick or Treat tonight? Consider going to the Corwell Health (hospital) Rehabilitation and Nursing Center between 6-8pm. The folks in the assisted living center would LOVE to see some kids in costumes this evening!

Our entire school family wishes to thank our incredible PTO for their hard work putting on the annual Fall Carnival. Every person who attended had a memorable night with costumed kids playing games, having a TON of fun, and coming together even in the midst of a divisive world around us. THIS kind of event is truly what it means to be a school FAMILY. We could not have done it without the countless parents and staff who volunteered....THANK YOU so much for giving your time for our kids. We especially want to recognize our PTO Board: Allison Hoock, Oosa Sinrapanurak, Jeni Brown, Danielle Guerreno, Yidzza Martir-Pou & Kelsey DeDonado. We also wish to thank Faith Brophy and Maureen Austin for tons of extra support and help with this event!
