Dear Bailey's Upper Families,
As we approach the end of another amazing year, we want to reflect on the journey that we shared. It has been a year marked by transitions, growth, and the strong support of our community. On behalf of the entire faculty and staff, we want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you for your dedication and commitment to the success of our students.
This year has presented a few transitions, three principals to be exact! We continue to wish Ms. Lemmon well and thank her for all that she has done for the school community over the last decade. Her leadership continues to shine throughout the building and in the success of our students this year. We are also thankful to Ms. Iyer who stepped in for a few months to keep the school moving in the right direction. Despite all of the changes our students and teachers continued to rise to the occasion, embracing change and showing dedication to our success as a school.
None of this would have been possible without the tireless efforts of our incredible teachers and instructional staff. Their passion, dedication, and commitment to our students is the driving force behind our success. They have gone above and beyond to create a supportive and nurturing learning environment where students feel valued and empowered every day. To our amazing teachers and instructional staff, we extend our deepest thanks and appreciation for all that you do.
As we look forward to a well-deserved summer break, I want to take this opportunity to wish each and every one of you a wonderful summer. We can not wait for the adventures that will be waiting for you in August.
Best of luck to our rising 6th graders and your families. Celebrating you this week was a highlight. You will be missed but once a BUpper Tiger, always a BUpper Tiger. Be sure to come back and visit us!!
Thank you once again for your continued support and partnership. It is truly a privilege to be part of such an extraordinary community, and we are grateful for the opportunity to serve as your principals. Here's to a bright and promising future for all of us at Bailey's Upper.
Warmest regards,
Holly Dowling

The FCPS CARES Program is an opportunity for parents, staff, and community members to recognize FCPS employees for going above and beyond to help others and show they care. We invite you to submit your story, so we can all acknowledge the good work of FCPS employees, specifically at Bailey's Upper ES.
