Hello Bailey's Tiger Families,
A big thank you to everyone who joined us for our PTA meeting this Monday! It was so wonderful to see so many members of our school community come together, stay informed, ask questions, and learn more about what’s happening at our school. Your participation and support make such a difference, and we’re grateful to have such an engaged and caring school community.
If you weren’t able to join us this time, we hope you’ll be able to make it to our next meeting. Our next PTA meeting will be held Tuesday, October 20th at 7:00 PM via Zoom. We’ll share more information and the Zoom link as we get closer to the date. We’d love to see you there.
Thanks to all our Bailey's Upper parents who showed up at Back to School last night. Our teachers and staff were delighted to get to know you more and show you around. Your support makes a difference in your child's education.
Primary parents, don’t forget that Back to School night is next Tuesday at 6:00 PM! This is a great opportunity to connect with your child’s teachers, learn more about their classroom experience, and get a better sense of what the school year will look like. Please be on the lookout for more information and details from the school. And finally, just a friendly reminder that there is no school this upcoming Monday in observance of Yom Kippur. I hope everyone has a relaxing and enjoyable three-day weekend and gets some well-deserved time to rest, recharge, and spend time with family.
Best,
Paola Vasquez
PTA President, Bailey's Elementary Schools

A new initiative for the Bailey’s PTA, the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee works to strengthen our school community by connecting affinity groups with school administrators, helping students, families, and staff develop the language and resources to prevent hate speech and respond when it occurs, and encouraging empathy, understanding, and connection across our diverse community. Join us as we work toward these goals and more. dei@baileyspta.org

Every fundraiser we hold helps make a difference in our school community. Thanks to the incredible support of our families, we’re able to give back to our schools in meaningful ways throughout the year. Every time you volunteer or sign up for membership helps us get one step closer to supporting our school!
Below are just some of the ways our PTA supports our schools and gives back to our community.
