Above: The Baker 8th Grade Orchestra visited Athens to rehearse side-by-side with high school musicians in preparation for their Orchtober Fest fall concert. This concert is at Athens on Tuesday, October 18th. The high school and middle school students used this time together to learn one piece that they will all play together. This was a unique learning experience for all involved and helped make both the middle school and high school programs even stronger.

Fall Parent Teacher Conferences
The Conference Manager will close Tuesday, Oct. 18th at 3 pm.
The Fall Parent Teacher Conferences are quickly approaching and Baker is once again using an online Conference Manager scheduling tool for Parent Teacher Conferences. This software, will allow you to pick and choose your own schedule for conferences, which can make for a more efficient and personalized experience for parents. Click on the link below to visit the Conference Manager website.
We will have 3 sessions that will be a combination of in-person and the option for virtual split between the 2 days (3 Sessions). The in-person conferences are on Wednesday, October 19th (Evening). The virtual conferences are on Thursday, October 20th (Afternoon & Evening).
A few tips:
- Keep “travel” time in mind and please do not schedule back to back conferences as it will take time to travel from room to room. Please allow 5 minutes between time slots.
- Please only schedule one conference per teacher/class (unless you have more than one child per teacher). 6th grade parents may schedule two back-to-back sessions with their ELA teacher since it is a 2-hour block.
- You can add comments/questions when scheduling your time for teacher reference to help guide the conference.
- Need help with directions? You can always call the office and we will help get you scheduled.
Half-Day Transportation Reminder: Thursday, October 20th is a half-day. Shuttles will run on Full Days only. Students taking courses at the high school and elementary students taking math courses at Baker will not have a shuttle on Half-Days.
