Dear Baker families,
Grandparents' & Special Friends' Day is coming up. We are sending these details to all Baker families plus those who have RSVP'd for the event, so that you are aware of the plans for the day.
Keep in mind if you registered on behalf of someone, it would be great if you can forward this message on!
We have communicated the general schedule as a 9:00 a.m. start. Please know that we will have the breakfast reception prepared and will be ready to welcome everyone as early as 8:15 a.m. to coincide with our regular drop off time.
Following are some important details:
Baker Grandparents' & Special Friends' Day
Friday, May 10, 2024 at 9:00 a.m.
Baker Demonstration School
201 Sheridan Rd.
Wilmette, IL 60091
Breakfast Reception
9:00 a.m. - 9:20 a.m. in the Baker Library (Arrive anytime after 8:15 a.m.)
A light breakfast, coffee and juice will be served.
Guests Visiting Multiple Students
We realize it can be difficult for guests who have multiple students at the school. You are welcome to divide the visiting hour of 9:30 a.m. - 10:30 a.m. however you would like. If there are multiple guests it might be easiest for each guest to dedicate their full time to one student each. If you are splitting time, we suggest visiting your younger student first.
Parking
If the Baker parking lot is full when you arrive, please park at Baha'i House of Worship north of Baker on Sheridan Road for parking in their east lot, which will be marked with a Baker lawn sign. We have asked staff to park remotely to free up as many spaces as possible.
Check-In
When you arrive at Baker, please check-in at our registration table and get your name tag. We will direct you to the library for our breakfast reception. You will have the opportunity to join your grandchildren or loved ones in class after breakfast. We will conclude our morning with a special program back in the library.
Schedule
9:00 - 9:20 a.m. - Breakfast Reception for Guests in Library (Arrive anytime after 8:15 a.m.)
9:30 - 10:30 a.m. - Classroom Time with Children
10:40 - 11:15 a.m. - Program in Library
11:15 or 11:30 a.m. - School Dismissal (PreK & K at 11:15 | 1st - 8th at 11:30)
Dismissal
The school day is an early dismissal. PreK & K are dismissed at 11:15 a.m. and 1st - 8th grade at 11:30 a.m. We encourage you to make a plan to meet your family in a specific location after dismissal. You will be coming from a program in our library but the children will be dismissed outside with their classroom teacher as normal. All students should be picked up there.
We are looking forward to hosting you at Baker.
Warmly,
