The Bulldog Bulletin

  •  What is The Bulldog Bulletin?

    The Bulldog Bulletin is the bulletin/ newsletter for the parents and guardians of Baker School students. It contains news, upcoming events, tidbits, and "good-to-knows" for the Baker community. 

    Each edition of The Bulldog Bulletin is placed on the Baker School website and sent to parents via email.

    Why Bulldog?

    The mascot for the Baker School is a bulldog and we are affectionately known as the “Baker Bulldogs.” So, having “The Bulldog Bulletin” for parents and for the community emphasizes our spirit and our strong "Baker Bulldog" identity.
