Spring Carnival: Mark your calendars for Baileywick’s Spring Carnival on Friday, April 29 from 5:30-8:00 PM.  There will be food trucks, carnival games and much more.  Families are asked to donate a cake for the cake walk. Donations can be dropped off at the school on 4/28 and 4/29. Tickets for the carnival games are available at  MemberHub and will also be available at the event. We are in need of volunteers. If you're able to help, please sign up HERE. 

Please join us in showing appreciation for our fabulous school staff during the week of May 2-6. The PTA, community partners and school administration have planned special daily events, but you can help your child show appreciation in the following ways. A favorites list will be sent in the weekly update on Friday.

• Monday: Teacher Work Day
• Tuesday: Bring in a snack for your teacher
• Wednesday: Wear your teacher's favorite color 
• Thursday: Bring in a treat for your favorite specialist and support staff 
• Friday: Write a note or draw a picture for your teacher.

The Open House presentation from January 18th can be found HERE. 

Thanks to sponsorships this year, we will be offering some optional after school electives.  Girls on the Run will be our first offering and will go from March 14 - May 20.  The elective is open to girls in grades 3-5 and will meet after school two days per week at Baileywick.  If interested, please email Baileywickpta@gmail.com. More information will be sent home in Tuesday folders within the next couple of weeks.

Our school, in partnership with MAKO Medical, will begin offering weekly, on-campus COVID-19 testing for students and staff, beginning November 29. COVID-19 testing is an effective way to reduce transmission, especially when layered with other measures. 

WCPSS strongly recommends all families participate in this free program. Participation helps safeguard the entire school community and gives you information to help you keep your children healthy. 

Participation in the program is voluntary. A parent or guardian must register any K-12 student under 18 years old in order for a COVID-19 test to be administered. Pre-K students who attend school within K-12 school buildings are eligible for the state-approved vendor testing with Mako. However, Pre-K students who attend school outside of K-12 school buildings are not eligible for the state-approved vendor testing with Mako.

The testing is simple: Trained MAKO Medical staff quickly and gently swab students’ noses. They place all the swabs in a single tube (that’s the pooling step). The samples in that tube are then tested as a single sample, using one test. If a positive test is received, everyone in the “pool” will return to school the next day to take another test to identify the person who tested positive for COVID-19. Learn more about pooled testing. Register now.

Amazon, Harris Teeter, and Lowes Foods shopping cards can be linked so that Baileywick’s PTA will get a portion back. You must link these accounts every year in order for us to receive the money. 

We'll be offering the Before and After School program and know how many students will enroll to plan for staffing. So please complete the interest form if you are interested in signing up.

Baileywick is pleased to offer Before School and Afterschool Care onsite again this year!  If you plan to enroll your child, please submit your forms as soon as possible, as we staff based on enrollment.  Fees will be collected on August 25, the first day of school.  Registration and program information can be found here.
