Dear Bailey's Upper Families,

It is hard to believe that February is already coming to a close and we are heading into the long stretch of March. This time of year can feel busy and full, and we are excited to bring back our Kindness Challenge again just like we did last year. More details will be coming soon, but we are looking forward to another month filled with intentional acts of care and connection across our school community.

I also want to take a moment to celebrate two very special members of our team — our incredible family liaisons, Marian Perez and Jocelyn Sarwar. They are truly an amazing team. Every single day they work closely with individual families, offering support, guidance, and a listening ear. At the same time, they plan and coordinate meaningful events that strengthen our entire school community.

In just the past few weeks, they have helped host a Community Partner Celebration, coordinated and supported our Family Luncheon, led a Family Engagement Coffee focused on literacy and math data, and just this Friday, facilitated a Rising 6th Grade Family Meeting to help families better understand the transition to middle school. That is an incredible amount of care and coordination in such a short time.

We are so very grateful for Marian and Jocelyn, and for the heart they bring to our school each and every day.

With appreciation,

Bailey’s Upper Admin Team
