A NEWSLETTER FOR THE BALDWIN PARK SCHOOL COMMUNITY

Principal Message

BPE Families,

As we continue our journey together this school year, I want to highlight the importance of reading at home for all our students. Building reading fluency and stamina is essential—not only does it help students become more confident readers, but it also increases their comprehension and love for learning. I encourage families to make reading a daily habit and to talk with your students about what they are reading both at home and at school. These conversations help deepen understanding and make reading a shared, joyful experience.

I also want to remind everyone about our established drop-off and pick-up procedures. It is vital for the safety of all students that families follow these guidelines. Dropping off or picking up students in the middle of the common way road or while double parked creates unsafe conditions and impedes the flow of traffic during busy mornings and afternoons. Please help us keep our school community safe by using the designated areas for drop-off and pick-up.

Thank you for your continued support of our school. Together, we create a safe, nurturing, and inspiring environment for every child.
Educationally Yours,

Mr. Schwartz
Principal
