Student Schedule Release

Student schedules will be available on August 22 in the SchoolTool Portal. Counselors will be available to assist with schedule changes if your child's schedule is missing a course, lunch period, scheduled into the wrong level course or needs changes made due to summer school grades. We do not make schedule changes for teacher requests, class period changes or lunch period changes. All changes must keep the student's schedule at 6.5 or more credits.

From September 3rd through September 5th scheduling changes will be made for students that are missing a class period in their schedule, missing lunch, or scheduled into the wrong core course. Late arrival and early dismissal requests will be accepted for seniors. Seniors are eligible for late arrival and early dismissal if they have 6.5 credits and a study hall 1st or 9th period.

Starting September 8th senior schedule changes and changes to meet graduation requirement will be addressed . Once those changes are made then Junior and Sophomore schedule changes will be addressed.
 

School Supplies

School Supply lists are posted on the Baker Website. At the high school level, we recommend finding organizational strategies that work best for the individual student. The most important items for students to have are their school issued Chromebook, something to write on, something to write with, and something to organize notes and papers for each class. Please note that binders must be removed from backpacks in order to pass through security. Folders are recommended instead of Binders.
 

Morning Parent Drop Off & Morning Entry

Students are able to enter the building starting at 7:05am. All students will enter the building wearing their student ID and go through threat detection protocols.

Student drop is at the stop sign next to Entrance 15. To get to Entrance 15 you will need to drive/loop behind Elden. Staff will be outside to direct you. Students cannot be dropped off in the staff parking lot behind the school.
