Dear Bailey’s Families,
Welcome back! We can hardly believe that summer break is almost over! It feels like just yesterday we were saying goodbye for the summer, and now the start of a brand-new school year is right around the corner.
Our teachers and staff have been busy preparing, and they are eagerly looking forward to welcoming back all of our returning students and meeting our new students! We’re excited for a year filled with learning, friendship, growth, and plenty of wonderful memories.
Don't forget our next kindergarten and new student playdate is this Saturday from 5:30pm-7:30pm at Bailey's Primary red park. This park is located in the back of the school. Keep in mind that the school building will be closed and bathrooms will be unavailable. We cannot wait to meet you!
Thank you to all those 3 graders who joined us at our 3rd grade and new student playdate last week. We had such a great time getting to know you and your family and we are do glad the kids got to meet the most famous tiger of all- Fluffy!
As a PTA, we are looking forward to partnering with all of you to make this school year a great one. Whether you’re joining us for a PTA event, volunteering, attending a meeting, or simply cheering our students on, your involvement makes a difference.
Here’s to a fantastic school year ahead! We hope everyone enjoys these last few days of summer, and we can’t wait to see our school community back together soon.
Wishing you the best,
Paola Vasquez
PTA President, Bailey's Elementary Schools
