Updates Which quote from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. most resonates with you?
Roof Inspection From Planning and Engineering Department/Facilities” “We are inspecting the Baldwin School today and will be moving to your school next. I expect the lift to be at your school by Friday (1/20/23) give or take a few days. The purpose for this inspection is to identify any loose masonry on the exterior of the building. After my inspection a contractor will be knocking off any loose material to make it safe.” I am doing my best to get them to ensure the lift will come after the 20th given the Winter Showcase this Friday.

Data Last Week Attendance: So far, we have had very few cases of COVID/RSV reported. We encourage teachers and paras at this time to conduct Home Visits as a tier 2 strategy. I understand some people are skeptical seeing they have not been paid from the visits back in August. I assure you the money is there and that Ms. Zoraida is working hard on completing the transfers. It’s difficult at this time because it is budget season and many finance/budget person are busy. ILT Walkthough and Academic Superintendent Data
ILT Walkthrough Data: Super LATE Goal will be to have a much faster turnaround on next walkthrough. Quarterly Academic Supt Walkthough Focus primarily on slides 1 and 6. Depending on the lesson, the content on the other slides might not have lend itself for those look-fors to be observed. | ||||||||||||||

Operations
Safe Mode/Containment Drill (1/18): We will be conducting a Safe Mode drill this week on Wednesday. Please speak to your scholars about the importance of knowing where to go and what to do, when we are in safe mode. Here is a script that should be shared with students. It is imperative that scholars stay quiet and out of sight during the safe mode drills once they hear the words “Code Red” over the intercom. Classroom doors should be shut, and a piece of chart paper should be used to cover the window on your door. Safe Mode is not over until you hear our safe phrase “All Clear.”
I know many of the doors at the school have broken windows and work order has been placed to have the windows fixed or the doors replaced.
Reminder about Propped Doors- Please be mindful that no doors should be propped at any time for the safety and security of our students and staff.
