About Our Principal

Dear John Baldwin Parents and Caregivers,
 
I am truly honored to begin my second year as Principal of John Baldwin Elementary School. What an incredible community this is! Every day, I am inspired by the kindness and curiosity of our JB Cougars, and I am deeply thankful for the unwavering support you show our school.
 
Working together, we will continue to provide a safe space where every student feels empowered to engage deeply in academics, take risks as a learner, and connect with their peers through authentic, real-world experiences.
 
My passions as a school leader are rooted in a firm commitment to each student's social-emotional well-being and academic success. I am dedicated to maintaining a warm, inclusive environment for our students, staff, and families. My door is always open, and I wholeheartedly welcome your feedback and ideas.
 
It is my intent that we work as partners to uphold the cherished traditions that make John Baldwin extraordinary, while ensuring every student reaches their full potential.
Please feel free to stop by or call to schedule an appointment to share your suggestions or ideas. I am eager to continue this exciting journey alongside you.
 
Warmly,
Lydia Rice 
Principal, John Baldwin Elementary
