Dear Baldwin Families,

Welcome back to school!  I’d like to take this opportunity to share my warm wishes for a fantastic and successful school year for all. 

 

As I begin my tenure as Principal, I have very much enjoyed meeting with multiple faculty members, families, and administrators.  Each conversation has deepened my understanding of what defines the Baldwin School as an exemplary place for children to grow and learn.  Time and again, I am impressed and excited by the dedication, talent, and passion our community members have for our school.

I hope you and your children have enjoyed a much deserved break this summer.  Although our first day back is a few weeks away, we have been busy planning for the ways in which we will continue to improve in the coming year.  We look forward to building on a year-long theme of forging relationships in our learning community.  The more connections we build amongst our staff, students, and families, the more meaningful the education of our students will be.

As an initial step towards unifying our community, we look forward to creating and upholding a common set of core values, emblematic of what it means to be a “Baldwin Scholar”.  These simple guideposts will structure greater success for students and faculty and strengthen our school-wide identity.  We plan to share our core beliefs with families early in the school year in order to include all constituents.  In later newsletters, I look forward to sharing more specific plans with you along the “building relationships” theme.

To all our students, I look forward to seeing each of you on September 2 and getting to know you throughout the year.  Enjoy these last days before our new school year begins!

Warm regards,

Rebecca Vyduna

Principal
