Hornet Families,

We have now ended the 1st grading period for the year and entered into the 2nd grading period. Term 1 report cards will be available through Parent Portal as well as sent home with your student tomorrow, October 30th. Tomorrow night we will also hold our first parent-conference night of the year for parents/guardians that signed up for a time to meet with their student's teacher. If you have questions about your student's progress, please reach out to your student's teacher.

This upcoming week will be an exciting one as we are gearing up for our annual Fall Festival this Friday, Nov. 3rd from 5:00-8:00. There will be Food trucks, games, inflatables, a cake walk, student King and Queen competition and more! We are requesting donation items such as can soda and candy to help support the festival! You can drop these items off by the front office anytime before Friday.

Please read through the information in the newsletter below and let me know if you have any questions!

Thank you for your support,

Dr. Allen M. Wilson

During our annual Fall Festival Event, in an effort to raise money for our school we are hosting the Bailey Elementary King & Queen Competition. Each teacher's homeroom class nominated a student King and a student Queen. At the Fall Festival Event, there will be boxes for each nominee that will be used for cash donations only. Donations can begin at 5:00 and they will end at 7:30. The student King or Queen nominee who raises the most money, will be named Bailey Elementary King and Queen. The winners will be announced at 8:00. (Each student nominee will be recognized with a gift and the Bailey Elementary King & Queen will receive a crown and a gift) In addition, the class that raises the most money for their student King & Queen nominees will win an ice cream party!
