Dear Bailey’s ES Families,
Thank you to everyone who joined us for Trunk or Treat! It was wonderful to see students and their families. We hope everyone had a great time!
As we wrap up the first quarter of the school year, we want to take a moment to reflect on all the learning our students have engaged in since the school year began. They've worked hard to become better readers, writers and mathematicians. We are extremely proud of each and every student at Bailey's!
Looking ahead, the second quarter begins on November 6th. We are excited to see our students continue to grow as learners.
Please note that school will be closed on Monday, November 4th, and Tuesday, November 5th, for a school planning day and a teacher workday. Additionally, we will observe Veteran's Day on November 11th, so school will be closed in honor of those who have served our country.
Thank you for your continued support of our school! We hope you have a wonderful break!
Satonya Dews, Principal

Complete Your Federal Impact Aid Survey
FCPS is asking all families to fill out a Federal Impact Aid Survey. The form is available in SIS ParentVUE under Online Packets (in the upper right corner after logging in). Please complete it as soon as possible.
For any families who have not completed the survey in ParentVUE, we will provide paper forms starting Wednesday, November 13. Paper forms should be returned by Wednesday, December 4.
Completing this form for each school-aged child in every household is important. Information from this survey resulted in more than $4 million in funding last year from the U.S. Department of Education. These funds are used to support all Fairfax County public schools and centers.
For more information, please watch this video on Impact Aid and visit the Federal Impact Aid Survey page.

🤒 When a Student Should Stay Home From School
Whether students miss school because of illness or any other reason, missing school leads to learning loss.
Help your child succeed by encouraging them to attend as many days as possible, but do make sure your child stays home if they are sick. Visit our website for information on when to keep your child at home.
If your child has a chronic illness, make sure to notify their teacher so that assistance can be provided if needed. Keep an open line of communication with your school's public health staff.

🗓️ Attendance Tip: Scheduling Family Trips or Events
Good attendance is an important life skill that will help students succeed in school and beyond.
When planning trips or family events, refer to the FCPS calendar and try to use weekends and school holidays. Every day of learning is a day toward success. Keep in mind that absences add up quickly. Students absent 10% of the school year (or just two days per month) are considered chronically absent.
When possible, schedule appointments for your child outside of school hours. If your child needs to miss school because of an illness or another reason, you must report the absence.
Watch this video with tips on understanding our school calendar and visit our Attendance webpage for additional information. Attend today, achieve tomorrow!
