Greetings Mamie Agnes Jones Families!
I hope everyone has enjoyed the weekend and is rested up for the week ahead! As a reminder, our school day begins at 8:30 AM each day. We have several attendance incentives in place including our Random Attendance Day rewards for all students who are at school on time, as well as a whole class incentive for every classroom! Students who are late to school or who are checked out early miss valuable instruction time.
Our October School Advisory Council Meeting will take place tomorrow, Monday, October 5th at 4:45 PM. SAC meetings are open to anyone who would like to attend.
This week is PE, Health and Safety Awareness Week. We will be wearing bright colors on Thursday, October 8th so we can “be safe and be seen!”
October 7th is national Walk or Bike to School Day. Families are invited to meet with Coach Reier at the Park and Ride on Beaver Street between 7:50 and 8:00 AM. The group will leave the Park and Ride and walk to the school at 8:00.
We look forward to seeing you on October 8th at 5:45 PM for Family Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Night! The City of Jacksonville Department of Bicycle-Pedestrian Planning Team will be here. Bring your bike or scooter or wear your sneakers to practice what you learn following the presentation!
This Friday is picture day! Information went home last week. Parents are encouraged to purchase packets online, but you may send the envelope in with your student on Friday if you prefer.
Also on Friday, the Baldwin High School Homecoming Parade will be taking place at 1:00 PM. Several of the streets leading up to the school will be blocked off and early check-out will be unavailable after 12:45 PM.

October 12th and 13th – No school for teacher planning and professional development days
October 22nd – Title 1 Family Math Night
