A Message from Upper School Director Eric Benke
Parents' meeting is Oct. 29
We are approaching our annual visit from Brenda Conlan, an alcohol and other drug prevention specialist, who will be making her sixth annual visit to Baldwin the week of Oct. 27. Her prior visits were exceptional in terms of how quickly she earned the respect of the students, opened lines of communication, and offered insights into risky behavior and invaluable tips about avoiding trouble. She would have met with your children when they were in the seventh grade, and we hope that you too had a chance to meet her at one of the past years’ parent evenings.

Two tests will be conducted
Now that fall is upon us, it is time to test our emergency communication system. In case of inclement weather we will inform families of any school closure via our AlertNow phone message system. In order to be certain that we have accurate contact information, we will conduct two tests of our school closing and emergency alert system on Friday, Oct. 17. You will receive two phone voice messages during the school day that will require no response on your part. Please take a moment, before Oct. 17, to check that all your contact information is accurate. If you do not want this message or any future school closing messages sent to the main number you supplied on your website profile, please contact David Anderson at danderson@baldwinschool.org or at ext. 284. Also, please let him know if you do NOT receive a message on Friday, Oct. 17.
