Welcome to Baird Elementary
Baird Elementary School is proud to serve a diverse learning community of 3 year old Early Childhood, 4K, and 5K - 5th grade students and their families. In addition to high quality instruction, at Baird we offer many services, including: reading support, math and literacy intervention, special education services, college tutors, gifted and talented support, and literacy and math intervention in both English and Spanish. We offer a two-way bilingual program that aims to nurture and develop bilingual, bi-literate, and bi-cultural students with strong thinking and reasoning skills. These students perform in both languages and develop cross-cultural awareness that will prepare them to thrive and compete in a global market.
