Dear Bailey’s ES Families,
We hope this message finds you enjoying the warmth and joy of summer! As we continue through these sunny days, I wanted to take a moment to update you on some exciting happenings here at Bailey’s.
Our summer school program is in full swing, with dedicated teachers and enthusiastic students making the most of their time together. It's heartwarming to see our school community come together even during the break to support each other's learning and growth.
Meanwhile, our custodial team has been hard at work, ensuring that our school is in top shape for the upcoming school year. Their dedication and attention to detail ensure that when our students and staff return, they will find a clean and welcoming environment ready for a successful year ahead.
Most importantly, our administrative team has been busy planning and preparing for the new school year. We are eagerly looking forward to welcoming both returning and new students, and we are committed to making this coming year one of growth, learning, and achievement for all.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions or if there's anything we can assist you with during the summer months. Your involvement and support are important to us, and we look forward to partnering with you in the continued success of our school community.
Enjoy the remainder of your summer break! We can't wait to see everyone in August!
Satonya Dews, Principal
