We are looking forward to another fantastic year at Baldwin Middle-Senior High School. We are working hard to prepare for the 2010-2011 school year, and have hired 10 new teachers to enhance our highly qualified teaching staff. These include two new teachers to ensure our small class sizes. We have no more than 25 students per teacher at the high school level, and not more than 22 students per teacher in the middle grades for all core subject areas. Congratulations to Baldwin’s Advanced Placement students who surpassed the passing rate of passing scores last year from 30 to 53 and made history yet again. We’re also proud to announce our middle school’s recognition for making significant improvements in the number of students who received a three or better in all areas of the FCAT. We believe the 2010-2011 school year will be a banner year in academics at Baldwin. We are going to do everything possible to ensure that all of our students make gains and that and that we do “Whatever It Takes” to raise student achievement. We believe in the ability of our students and know they are going to return to Baldwin ready to learn and grow. We hope that all of our Baldwin Indians enjoyed their summer vacations but are ready now to focus on their education. Attendance is a major contributor to student success. Those who are absent frequently are more likely to do poorly in their classes and to fall behind in their classwork. Let’s make this school year the best attended year ever in Baldwin. We need each of you to make a special effort to get to school every single day. Your education is one of the most important aspects of your life today and tomorrow. This is your preparation for the highest quality life possible. Make it count. One of our goals this year is to increase parental involvement in our school. I encourage you to spend some time, even if for a few hours, volunteering this year. You are always welcome at Baldwin Middle-Senior High School. I invite you to come and visit in your son’s/daughter’s class at any time. However, please come to the main office first to obtain a visitor’s pass from the front desk. I also encourage you to become an active member of our School Advisory Council (SAC) and join PTSA for $5.00 during our Open House on Monday, August 20, 2010. Our first SAC meeting is Tuesday, August 31 at 3:30pm Please pay attention to the Dress Code information included in the student handbook that has been given to each student. We appreciate parents and students alike respecting the rules of our school. If students adhere to this policy we should never have to say a word to them, other than, “You sure look nice today.” This is going to be a super year and truly a reflection of our new school theme, “WHATEVER IT TAKES.” Catch this academic train with us and let’s all work hard to reach our individual and school goals.
