Bailey Elementary School

We are practicing our lockdown drill today. Thank you!

Dear Families, Get ready—the Scholastic Book Fair is coming to our school! This is a great opportunity to connect with your child over the thrill of bringing home new books to dive into again and again. Studies show that kids read more when they choose books for themselves. And fostering a love of independent reading leads to a wide variety of benefits—including academic success and improved mental health. Here’s everything you need to know about the Book Fair: Dates: September 23-27, 2024 Location: MEDIA CENTER Family Event schedule and location: October 24, 2024 Curriculum Night 5:30pm There’s even more info on our school’s Book Fair homepage: https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/baileyelementaryschool While you’re there, set up a Book Fair eWallet, the digital payment account that allows your child to shop for books at the Fair without cash. Then share your eWallet link so friends and extended family can add funds. When you fund an eWallet, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute to a giving initiative called Share the Fair™. Your contributions directly support our students who need help buying books from the Fair. Many of us still remember the rush of finding the perfect book at a Scholastic Book Fair. I hope you’ll join your child at our school’s Fair and share a reading experience they’ll remember forever. Happy reading, MR. QUINTIN MANGANO Principal BAILEY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PS: Need one more reason to visit the Book Fai

Today, we honored Shannon Davis, the former Maintenance Supervisor of Nash County Public Schools, who recently passed away. Many members of our staff wore their favorite team jerseys to school today in honor of Shannon, who loved sports and was a BIG Tar Heel fan. Several staff members built close relationships with Shannon and his family, as his children attended Bailey Elementary in their childhood. Bailey Elementary sends its love and deepest condolences to the Davis family! 💛💚💛💚

Welcome back Bailey Hornets!! We are so excited and ready to go "Beyond the Bar" this year! 🥳🎉

Good Evening Hornet Parents, We are excited to start the new school year tomorrow morning. We will begin taking students into the building from car line at 7:20 and those students will report to the cafeteria. At 7:40 all students will be directed to their classrooms. Parents may walk children to the classroom tomorrow and for Kindergarten students this will apply to their first day of staggered enrollment. After the first day we ask that all students are dropped off in the manner they will be for the remainder of the year. For dismissal will will run the car line using the driveway farthest to the east on Pine St. Buses, PreK and our Special Needs students will use the driveway closest to the baseball field. The first few weeks of school our carline will take extra time as our students learn the routine. We ask for your patience as we work through the process. We anticipate dismissal to take up to 45 minutes but know once learned the process will be completed in about 25min. If there is overflow traffic on Pine St in front of school then please pull your car off the side in the direction you are driving. This will help those cars trying to exit at the other end of the driveway. Buses will be running tomorrow and it will take a few weeks to get their schedule consistent as we will be adding new riders and adjusting routes. Please contact Mrs. Deans with any bus questions. Thank you for the great turnout at open house last week. It was nice to meet many of you. We all look forward to a great first week as we kick off the new school year and thank you in advance for your patience and support. Good night.

We would like to thank New Sandy Hill Church, Gold Valley Church of God and XPO for the supplies donated to our staff and students! They are greatly appreciated. 😊🎉

Get ready, Bailey Hornets! Only 2 more days until we're back in action for an exciting school year! 📚✨ We're counting down the hours to seeing all your smiling faces and kicking off a year full of learning, laughter, and fun. Let’s make it the best one yet! 🚌🎒

Below is a message that never ended up getting sent to our Bailey Families due to technical issues that sent it to Winstead Ave parents. The issue is hopefully resolved as of today and I will send another message this evening. Thank you for your understanding. Good Evening Hornet Parents, We are one week away from our students coming to school for the 2024-25 school year. This week on Thursday we will host our open house where you can come meet your child's teacher and get all the information you need to have a successful start to the year. There will be two time slots that are open for families to come, 11:00-1:00 and 4:30-6:30. We will have stations set up in the gym for you to get information about school transportation, before and after school programs, technology, our Bailey PTO, and other local agencies will be here to share about any programs they may offer. You will be able to visit your child's classroom to meet the teachers and exchange information regarding schedules, communication, and classroom needs and expectations. Post cards were sent home last week with your child's teacher name and room number. If you did not get one you will be able to find out your child's teacher in the gym on Thursday. We will have staggered enrollment the first week of school for Kindergarten and PreK so be sure to get that information from your child's teacher. The beginning of school is an exciting time for us all. The arrival and dismissal procedures take time to become fluid and we ask in advance for your patience and support as we work to streamline a safe and orderly experience for all our families. We will have information regarding times and places for arrival and dismissal at open house. We look forward to seeing everyone on Thursday as we gear up for an amazing year at Bailey. Good night
