Each day, Baker Elementary welcomes nearly four hundred pre-school through second grade students to a wonderful, creative, safe place of learning. Our excellent faculty and caring staff give children an environment to learn about the world, the community and themselves.
Our one goal is literacy for all students. Faculty members emphasize early reading skills and devote a minimum of ninety minutes every day to literacy activities. Because reading and writing are closely linked, with one activity strengthening the other, our school improvement centers on these two topics.
Our students’ future depends on two important elements: becoming caring, respectful citizens, and becoming effective communicators. Our staff is devoted to helping Baker’s students accomplish these skills as a way to enhance their futures at school and in the community.
